Something is seriously wrong with the time conversion quests take to complete 10 seconds when selecting it, 25 seconds to complete.
Possibly. However that would not account for why other accounts on same computer do have a different count down. Another supposition is how many agents you have. Again, other accounts react differently And another is how full your character is - repeat reason Here is the one I find most logical. Its the servers. Cause you will notice when this happens there is usually a stutter or freeze caused by the Overseer window refreshing itself.
Its not my clock its synced anyway. The quest starts counting down from 25s not 10s as it is supposed to. I think its related to how many you convert, first few 10s then about by the 5th convert the 25s appears.
So yeah, maybe, sometimes, but people that swear their clock is sync'd it ends up its off by a few seconds or what not which is not enough to trigger a resync in Windows but anything > 1 second is enough to throw Overseer into chaos because it has to check in with the server. Open command prompt and try running w32tm /resync a couple times and see what happens. If you get an error message do it until its successful.
