the fix for that is to exit the Server .. Close down TWGS after readying a
game that was banged a couple of days ago.

Seems it holds how many externs between when you banged and when you activated the game.

I'm guessing you banged it 2 days ago and now activated it.

Really? That's what's going on? I hope you're right and I can get that fixed.

That required you to deactivate, then reactivate the game, so somehow TWGS is keeping the original scheduled Extern, then scheduling a new one. I thought I fixed that for v2.04 but I guess not... I'll keep looking.

Thanks!

I can't seem to duplicate this bug. There must be some additional factor involved.

How long had the server been running since you updated to the latest release? Had it run through an Extern since you updated? Or was this the first extern to run since update?

How many games do you have running? Did Extern run twice on only this one game, but ran normally on others?

Anything else unusual to report?

Nevermind. I got it!

If you activate and deactivate games while the server is offline, you end up with extern scheduled when the game activates AND when the server comes online. Doh. I'll get that fixed.

Phew!
