Video games can change frequently, so the code base needs to be updated. Many things can be hotloaded (added to the game without a restart), but often times, major architecture updates or significant changes simply require a restart to take effect.

Modern computers often need security updates. Rarely, hardware failures occur or data centers experience outages.

No, there is no fix. This is life. How come you don’t stay awake 24/7/365? =)
