I'm sure you've all had this happen at one point or another, I just had it happen to me in my RT run. Frankly it gets annoying but I can't really think of a compensation or solution to this issue. So, with that being said, anyone else have any ideas?

Afraid thats not possible for me :P Also just as a general note, I do realize that I could always quit out of the run but I'm talking about other solutions

Do you use more than 1 hour on an RT run? o.0

I see no reason they need to compensate. They gave you about 60-90 minutes to complete it And thats enough for about 2 maybe 2 1/2 FSC levels. Plus if you can just run the levels over again and you still used your energy to get any thing at all in the level, then that counts as playing the level. Taking my example above would mean completing 2 FSC floors, keeping the rewards AND getting my CE back (I have Elevator pass but so be it for examples.)
Technically its fine the way it is. You know there used to be updates with only a 30 minute warning. Be grateful they tripled the time allotted.

I sure am thankful I was warned.. and that I used Mist, not Crystal Energy :D. Not my thread, but fairly applicable. Did you use Mist, Crystal Energy, or a Pass?

It shouldn't take more than 60 minutes to go through all Tier 2 depths to Royal Jelly King anyway.

It takes me well 60 minutes for a Roarmulus or Jelly King run. Roarmulus takes longer than Jelly King in my opinion, but either one takes quite some time.

Let's stick with the traditional: sense of butthurt and nothing.

Personally
It takes me 2 hours to clear T2 from top to bottom, but I solo and am a diligent bushwhacker, so I WOULD take a long time.

just a point of fact for me,
just a point of fact for me, I found RT to be easier the faster I went. Less Retrode shots, less missiles in the face, etc. Find the spawn points and hit them really hard. Bring a shadow weapon, an elemental weapon, and a gun. Don't go back for dead people; their bodies will spawn at the button. Honestly, if it's a bunch of nubs and a veteran running it, let them be stay dead and watch how you do it.

Depends on when you start counting.
From depth 13, I need 45 minutes (max) for RJP and 30 minutes (in an at least semi-competent group) or 45 minutes (solo) for RT. It's not much time, and if you were mid-run when the update warning came, you had plenty of time to do it. If you tried starting the run after the warning, then YDI.
Related: During a previous upgrade, we went out of the elevator in Abadoned Assembly as the 30 minute warning appeared, and on the elevator for Haven in Emberlight on the 5 minute mark. And we didn't rush anything (except for the cheers in the end).

Seems they like to do the updates about the same time, that is, the time I get home, feed the dogs, heat up something and sit down to play. I login and am informed I have ~20 minutes before a reboot. This effectively means I don't get to do any boss runs or anything because it will reboot before I get there and I'll have to go do something else with my life before I get there after the reboot.
I'm not particularly butthurt but I acknowledge the myriad methods of frustration the reboots bring. It is what it is and I can be grateful we have active development that fixes problems instead of letting them languish.

I don't understand why they don't patch the game in between daily reboots. We can wait a bit (ya unless it's a serious bugfix)

Same, yesterday I tried to do a Vana run and just before we started we got the message. We were too tired to go against Vana later. Oh well!
Move to Europe so you can sleep over those issues.
