Orthos Failure - Date Time Has Changed?

[Big.Wayne]

Hi, I'm just wondering what it means when Orthos has a message in the time bar saying 'Date/Time has changed'?

I don't think I seen it do that before?

Well the obvious problem would seem to be that you or an automatic program changed your windows time while Orthos was running. Could this be possible?

Double click the time in the taskbar and in the Internet Time tab untick the auto sync option. Happened to me not too long ago.

I used to get that message all the time on my nF2 system, the clock on that used to skip ahead by a minute every 5, so I had to sync the time every minute, so SP2004 would say the time was adjusted within seconds of starting, but it didnt effect the test, it just stopped showing how long it'd been running.

Funny you should say that, cos in my nf2 system the time would be a min faster every 5 mins or so, and it affected certain games too, like q3... the game would actually run a bit faster.. bit like everything on the pc was increased in speed by 20% would have to keep restarting the pc untill it stopped happening... odd :/

hmm, never thought about overclocking the system clock to make games run faster. hmmmm

hahaha, actually made me 'lol' the fps wasnt faster, it was more when u take the frame limiter off in emulators (but not quite to that extent..)

Heh it didn't seem to make a difference to games for me, just the system clock used to shoot off ahead...things like ping and trace used to return odd results though...
