It shouldn't take survival 10+ minutes to restart.. what part of the startup process is taking so long? EDIT: 15 minutes now
I've been playing consistently the past few weeks during the time at which the restart occurs. Up until a few days ago, the restarts were seemingly instant. It's only been the last 3-4 days where restarts are taking an unusual amount of time. I main the economy server and yesterday it took me 15 minutes to get back on.
It really depends, sometimes the restart is 1 minute, sometimes it takes longer. Looking at the year I've been playing these long restarts are really just a thing that happends sometimes
The server usually takes less than a minute to restart. However, unexpected problems sometimes prevent the server from shutting down properly. In the past, this meant the server would just be offline until an administrator could fix it. We recently implemented an automated mechanism to attempt to fix the problem automatically if the server hasn't come back up after 10-15 minutes.
