The 0.18A update broken the time system for me, slowing down current time, and timer, when going into the map. It seems though not to slow down the physics, such as speed and travel-distance.

Or maybe this is not a bug? A new feature I have not learned?

You don’t. Devs should have using the beta branch for the latest releases but they stopped doing that after the first update.

It has just been patched, despite them being on holiday - so pick up 0.18a on mainline. *thanks devs*

However still weird things visible in the training mission but this has been *mostly* fixed.

Oh, the timer is broken alright, and not just in the map but across the board. The in-game stopwatch is randomly diverging from real time by up to 20% (sometimes slower, sometimes faster), but only if there's more than one player in the lobby.

I'm still researching it but at this time I'm fairly convinced that this negatively affects ship speed calculation because the objects in the game world move in "real time", not in "game timer time". I only get accurate speed readings with a real-life stopwatch, as verified by a non-timer-dependent method (running parallel and matching speed) and through various experimentation.

I'm finishing collecting data and will post a formal bug report in the next few days if it's not fixed by then.

@gurudennis
Nice I am not the only one. I was quite worried when no one replied here or on discord.

Currently the devs have vacation so I guess a couple of weeks or so for the bugfix. Though I have been, as you, made timing with an external device, but it is hard to make time-plotting, but I have not used that technique as of yet.

@Aktungbby
Thanks!
