Z3nd Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 So I have heard from 3 people that the timer seems to freeze sometime when you are out of the game, so that you have time left when you go back in. I had thought the timer was set to alert a minute or so but I have seen messages on the chat that it can be up to 10 minutes, and a friend of mine who's the new player mention he was having problems with it freezing. I plan to test it on my phone a few times to see if that's what's really not going on. I've not paid enough attention to it to date 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcofi Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) Yes, I also noted that the timer is not very precise when you go out of the game, then come back after some minutes. I just need to change tab and then go back to Earth View, then the timer shows the right value.

A few weeks ago I had this nearly everytime I switched out of the app and back in after a few minutes but since the last update I can't remember any time this happened.

marcofi Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Yes indeed the problem is much smaller since the last hotfixes. Maybe now sometimes I see the time is wrong for seconds or very few minutes. Before I could see a wrong time of several minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. D Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 The timer usually synchronizes with our server every 30 seconds, but when you re-open a closed app this refresh is instant. I'm guessing the delay you are experiencing may be related to connectivity issues or general lags! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riylan Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I've had this same issue since I can remember. My solution is to just close the app each time I'm done with it, and open it fresh. Seems to take about as long as switching tabs a couple times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently discovered that even if the timer is lagging you can hit the bottom and it will work... Just an observation, might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's correct, as all time-based restrictions are enacted on our server (timer is just a visual indicator), otherwise it would be really easy to hack the app and cheat by manipulating the timer.
