We have made the interactions with the game database more robust, and added regular checks for its integrity during runtime. We have also fixed some cases where this would happen, but are still investigating if there are other potential occurrences.As counter measures to the system, and since already corrupted databases will not be automatically recoverable we have implemented a recovery system:On server startup, if the game encounters a corrupted Database it will attempt to recover to the last database backup that is not corrupted. This will make the status of the game be reverted to a previous working world state, which may result in loss of progression. To help with this, the game will now creating database backups much more often.These are temporary measures while we keep working to eliminate the database corruption altogether.
