#4101 negative time (rented at sign)

[Alexander Schuch]

"This sign was rented by Ci-Dev -1 minutes ago."
This was shown after I clicked the sign rentd by myself just a moment ago.

My random guess is that database and game server run at differents hosts with a slightly different time.

In-game solution: Even if the time difference is negative, show "less than one minute", maybe even with "into the future" appendix.

Whoops, wrong tracker. Someone please move this into the bugs tracker. Thanks!

Moved. the database and game server are on the same site

[Katie Russell]

a different guess: system time in milliseconds is stored as a long so perhaps it is from parsing that and some loss of precision?

[Hendrik Brummermann]

This happens when the times moves backwards (because of updates from the network time protocol daemon).

Hello,

I think that problem is fixed now. Please open the tracker again if it's still urgent.

Greetings
