Force Saves to DB?

[Havoc302]

So I've been having some issues with the DB where stuff will randomly not save for long periods of time, players will disconnect and reconnect only to find they've lost hours of progress. It's not consistent just happens what seems randomly but it's extremely annoying. Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone know of a fix? Is there a way to force the game to write all data to DB at a set time so I can schedule them to happen right before a restart?

Stop server, close Redis, then edit to these params in redis.conf

save 900 1
save 300 10
save 60 1

It will force a save every 60 seconds, we found that this prevents your problem.

You should be using a config file already with the proper settings allowing it to save.

Yeah that wasn't in there, I installed it directly from the hosting provider. They have it saved in their TCAdmin, no idea how old the version is, I know it's 0.3.6 but it probably hasn't got anything added since that version release. Silly question but if there's been that many changes to the github that aren't in the download why not simply release a new version with those changes?
