Not sure if this is intended or a bug, but Conversions in Overseer are taking 50 seconds each for me. The Quests tab still shows 10s to complete a conversion, but on the Active Quests tab, it shows 50s. The conversion counts down the full 50s duration. It also gives the option to finish early for 2 DBC.
"It looks right" doesn't count, a few seconds off will cause a failure in the synchronization. Open command prompt, run as administrator. net start w32time w32tm /resync /rediscover w32tm /resync /force If you get an error message do the 2 resync commands again. Check your time sync at https://time.gov/, it should say your clock is off less than a second.
This is how I learned and its easy -using the first option - those command prompts are listed below those if you wanted to do it that way. https://www.majorgeeks.com/content/page/synchronize_clock_with_an_internet_time_server.html
Windows 10 > Settings > Date & Time Make sure you enable Set time automatically or the problem will reoccur.
It will still occur because the default time sync is like a week, and time.windows.com default NTP server is known to be unreliable. Windows OS can handle more time drift than real-time transactions are able to. Lowering the sync time (regedit) and/or changing the internet time source to time.nist.gov, or pool.ntp.org, or whatever Google is, or anything else helps.
Yes that's important too. I changed my time sync source to pool.ntp.org with an interval of 8 hours years ago. This was to fix dead time with combat discipline timers. Syncing time is required for the EQ client to perform nominally in many respects.
If your clock gets that out of sync, even with the default windows time server, it usually means there is an issue with the real time clock on your motherboard. Usually it just means the battery needs to be replaced.
Whatever its doing, its not a 1:1 drift vs Overseer. Anything from like 3-5 seconds out of sync could put overseer off by that much. It seems like its exponential because Ive seen reports it adds hours to long quests, and the clock drift wasnt enough for someone to notice their system time was off.
I didn't say it was 1:1 drift. I said if your computer clock drifts enough that overseer has an out of sync problem, then you may have a problem with your hardware, usually just the battery powering the RTC needs replacing. Most computers aren't high accuracy and drift between 1-2 seconds a day, and windows by default only syncs once a week. If 3 seconds was enough to cause a problem, almost everyone would be constantly having issues. The two computers I have turned on right now are off 2 seconds from each other, and I sync to an NTP server on my own network (I haven't changed the frequency though).
