A question: 1 hr missing

Post by gregorgysi » Sat Sep 11, 2010 9:18 am

Hi gmiller,

first as I didn't tell you for a while: great site, thanks for the good work.

I have a questions about the site after restoring:
nothing big but strange

In the "my games" list i can see the remaining time.
for example 29d 20hr etc.
When I open the game I find this:
29d 19hr etc.

This seems to happen in all games I play.
Might have something to do with the time you added after the crash.

thanks

gregor

Edit: In some games it's even stranger: for example here:

Game: g1105035598 1 day and about 1 min missing.

I won't timeout because of that no worries.

On the "My Games" page the time remaining is computed using the clock on your computer, on the actual game page it's computed using the server's clock. The purpose of taking a shortcut on the My Games page is just to save bandwidth and the discrepancies are probably due to either you being in a different time zone, or your PC's clock not being set accurately.
