[quote who="Frogboy" reply="29" id="3966812"]Yep. We had backups on site. We had backups off site. It was restoring from the offsite backups that took so long. Just so big. 34TB is no joke. [/quote] Most of our off site backups are in IronMountain. I think the last time anyone actually truly needed something from there it took like 2-3 days just to find the damn tape to restore from.

[quote who="barasawa9144" reply="26" id="3966023"] Did a lot of tech support on various levels, and this is a perfect example of the first three rules of computing. Rule 1: Backup Rule 2: BACKUP Rule 3: See Rules 1 & 2 [/quote] Its kind of getting better these days in that, before it was very very hard to justify the very very expensive backup costs. Especially now that data is exploding, backup infrastructure is getting more insane to ev

I feel your pain I've had to restore from backups and its generally horribly painful. I'm already doing restore from disk and doing our existing 13TB database restore takes.... way too long. We even have to give reports on annual tests on how long the restore actually takes. If it makes you feel better, my friend used to work at IBM and a telco company lost the ENTIRE CUSTOMER DATABASE. All of it. It took them like an entire month to rebuild that thing from bubble gum, d

So I was mucking around in the files to see what they did and if I could edit them Originally I was editing just the mission xml files. Having those open and editing them didn't cause any problems with teh game. Though uh... yeah I kinda screwed up the leaderboards a bit so like you probably need to lock them down or wipe that stuff cuz my 'experimentation' is causing my score to go sky high. However when I went into several CSV files to just poke around. However if you<

[quote who="dennylc" reply="5" id="3725398"] Have they given a time the game will unlock on the 20th yet? Is it the same time simultaneously or is it dependent upon your locations time? For example, if it unlocks on the 20th at midnight eastern standard time, and it is a simultaneous release, I would get it at 9PM PST on the 19th, since I am 3 hours later. If its a local release time, then I would have to wait those 3 hours until it hit midnight here. [/quote] Steam unlocks

Just some feedback on the save system Personally I think 2.3% is a bit OP. Don't want to give save scummers more saves lots. I think the appropriate monetization strategy would be 1) Reduce base probability to 1% 2) Founder Elites get increase probability to 5% 3) Every save/reload cycle has

I'm not sure if its because of how browsers use the tabs with the menu bar? But when I group IE/Chrome/Firefox I notice that the minimize/max/close icons are offset down.

[quote who="cuorebrave" reply="3" id="3680934"] Does this not have everything to do with money? I had assumed that if we purchased outside of Steam, Steam doesn't get paid, so won't count our review.
