For 12 minutes, NOVA has been deadlocked.

There is no ETA.

Does a deadlock require a manual reset of the server? And is there a 'usual' time until it gets resolved or it just varies?

Most likely..

I think the servers are in europe too, so as it's early morning here (1:40am GMT) i doubt they'll be resetting the server till the morning.

Just asking an honest question here..so when the emu finally goes live and things like this happen, are we going to have to wait until morning for someone to manually reset the server? I think it's a legitimate question since I plan on donating every month.

When the staff that have the privileges and experience to pull the logs from the deadlocked server, diagnose the problem, enact a solution (or workaround), and get things up and running again can do so, it will come back up.

They are both in Europe. When they get the opportunity hinges on many things, such as sleep, life, work, study, mood... etc.

Just my luck, the server goes down for the day on my birthday

No. A live server won't have these problems. This is development, much different. We won't release until we're fiarly comfortable that the codebase is ready.

Thanks for the reply. I can understand the crashes and such because I know it's a test server. I was mainly just talking about the need to restart the server.

Just curious..is it the codebase that causes the deadlock or is it a breakdown in communication between the equipment?

A deadlock is when "Process A" waits for "Process B" to finish, but "Process B" is waiting for "Process A" to finish. Neither can work without the other.

Basically, a communication problem.
