Time travel?

Something strange just happened to me, again....

I was killing pigs, laying out the leathers, and then started fishing, and the server kicked me off "Technical problem". I logged back in ASAP, and my leathers were still there, but already dry, and a few had rotted away!
It's like the Game advanced by 5 minutes while I was off for 1 minute.

It just happened again a second time.

Anyone else having this problem?

did you have a feeling of being stuck or of lagging before the kick?

hrm... rotted... or someone took some of dry leathers and walk away?

just these possibilities

No...no-one else was around to take the leathers. Besides only a few 'rotted' while there were 8-10 dried lying there.

And how do you explain the 'instant' drying of leathers just placed. I really think the game advanced a few minutes during these sessions.

I checked my logfile, but it didn't say anything except voices and actions.

@Korm: No lag or sign at all. At first I thought the server just crashed, but I was able to get back on, and I noticed this odd 'time' shift into the future.

Basically, this freaked me out, and I was just hoping if anyone else noticed this. It didn't seem to affect the 'online' list.

@Vilarion: Is it possible that when I log on, I get a 'time-delay' since I am in America, and the connection breaks....so that when I return, I get an 'updated' view of the 'true' server?

I just don't know, this has never happened before.

PS: I kind of feel like "Rip Van Winkle" here.

Well, I just played an hour, and it seems to be fine now.

Hope it doesn't happen again, It was wierd!

i just asked, because that is nothing new for me.
when the internet connection gets too slow, my client gets the results from the server one by one. but aparently the server works them as quick as ever.
when the connection gets better, my chars actions either run like a fast forward movie, or there is just a jump.
or when i get a freeze not from the server, but from lack of connection, and log off, and log on again, i frequently note, that the server saved my char one or two actions further on, than my client did show at log off.

so i suspect, that was right what happened to you.

This happens to me all the time as well.. I've noticed other things will instantly rot to after those little kicks, like of there are any entrails still laying around they are instantly gone even if you just killed the piggie.

I think I know what caused that: http://illarion.org/community/forums/vi ... hp?t=26733

it was posted just as farming but it affects leather drying and cloth whitening also(just the things I've noticed so far) so the items could have rotted away before you were kicked off and you didn't know because it didn't refresh
