Ok, here's the story. I have my system clock set 2 hours ahead so my extern runs at midnight. Last night, after I went to bed, my wife fixed the clock so the time was correct. Now, today, I have had 2 different reports of ports not regenerating. I have rebooted the machine and reset the system clock back to 2 hours ahead. Still, no regenerating on these ports. Tried to manually reset the ports in TEDIT and no help. Any thoughts/remedies? |

Basically, changing your system time in a game, especially backwards, can really screw with stuff. A lot of stuff works off of timestamps, and if it thinks the last itme something happened is in the future, it gets really messed up. It should be slightly better (from a player standpoint at least) in the most recent version, but things still have the potential to end up screwy. |

I would suggest that instead of changing your system time to try and change the time extern occurs just change the extern time itself in the server setup menu. For instance my server is in Alaska, a long way from central and east coast time, so I have extern set to run at 8 pm my time to allow the players to be on line at extern if they want to or feel they need to. Its just something I did as a request from the players to keep them from having to be online at 4 am. |

The problem is, if you set your extern to 8 pm server time, a player entering the game after being #SD# has to wait 20 hours before they have any pods for the day. Also, if someone needs to get killed because of alignment before extern, it means they'll be losing out on 4 hours worth of turns. |

Guess I never thaught of it that way, I might have to change that back to midnight server time and just leave it. Thanks again Harley. |
