i cant find any thing on the forum as to why the downtime. Anybody Please
Server Downtime
- Thread starter Salmonella
- Start date
its weekly maintenance thursday mornings can be extended if problems with the server blades found
the maintanance used to be 10 to 15 minutes now 31/2 hrs dont get it why so long with no explanation.
i had a whole lot of missions to complete LOL
Server have been going down every Thursday since I started playing years ago...
Sometimes it is quick, other slow, but I do ensure there is nothing hanging over from the Wednesday's play, just in case.
Fancy FD continuing to do the same thing every Thursday for so long, and players still not prepared for it!

As stated avove (normal weekly) server maintenance is stared as 40 mins. PCused to be back online with in 12-18 mins. Then (I presume as part of cost cutting) FDev msde a change and server performance as a whole decreased (and the normal maint period went up to an hour). This is also evident in game as a massibe increase in Braben tunnels/long jumps etc.
Today I was not trying to connect before or immediately after the advertised time time. I did log in about 70 mins after the maintenance start. I was able to login an d play normaly (however the maintenance message was still on the launcher)

One things is for sure though, no-one in that IT department is going to be made redundant in a hurry.Hopefully they have the servers in proper order, unlike the picture below.
It's showing this and yet I'm in the game?
The main menu screen still also says expected back up at 07:40!

Facts are hard to face, I know...
Are you playing offline? Maybe that is why.
I can play but I just made my commander and I am doing I think offline stuff if that's even a thing.
IIRC Elite: Dangerous does not have an offline mode. It does have a Solo mode but that still requires you to be connected to the servers.
You must learn to complete all missions before you go to bed on Wednesday nights. You can always expect no play on Thursday mornings. the downtime is variable, but you can guarantee that if you need to do something in the game at that time, the downtime will be the longest. The game checks how much you need to do and sets the downtime accordingly - just like in the game, where the more you have to lose, the bigger the chance of losing it.
