2. What happened? the game reported "server not responding". While this was happening I pinged the server and I was able to access it just fine (~50ms ping). Reviewing systemctl indicated that the game had crashed and was continually crashing upon restart. This happened continually until rebooting the server. Once I rebooted the server the game loaded without issue and I was able to log in to play.
3. What did you expect to happen instead? I had expected the game would not crash and allow me to continue happily building my factory
