Hi there!

That's not a problem with a server "crashing", it's the function that a server without players restart itself after one hour of inactivity. It restarts the server even when players in fact ARE in the game, so it's a very annoying bug. It happened to me several times on server #33 and just happened on #15 as well, I',m going to report this as a bug separately - but it's the same issue.

Hey Frank,

I have another report of "Hey, that's weird!" For the first time, I experienced this issue on a CityBuilder server (#12, 8k temperate) where none of the commands work. I have seen it many times on BusyBee, but never before on CityBuilder. (But Ben, who posted 2 weeks ago, also reported seeing this issue on a different CityBuilder server: server #15.)

I don't usually even have to try commands to know it is happening. If a server is bugged, it simply prints "Player has joined the game" when I join. If the server is working correctly, it prints the normal joining messages:

***Player has joined the game
