In my opinion, there have two ways to fix bugs at run-time:

1: hotfix depends configuration files --> files reload at run-time
2: hotfix depends execute files:
a) reload dll/so files at run-time
b) reload script files, such as Lua files
c) expanding capacity by adding the new instances which have fixed the bugs, then stop the old instances.
