I kept the in game watch on my screen. The lag happens every time it plays catch up. So at 7pm in game time, the seconds tick as normal for 2 mins and then the server lags and it changes from 7:02 > 7:05. Then 7:05 it ticks as normal until 7:07 in which it lags to catchup, the time then changes to 7:10 etc etc.
Nice view I have also encountered independents cannot get into vehicles.
You can trick you way in if you both enter at the same time, I believe it has something to do will killing AI but don't quote me.
Quickly popped on this morning...
Missions stopped working after 5 or 6 in 4 hours, Scotty said.
Also, independants can't get in vehicle's together
We had one of the base missions freak out on us when the AI despawned, it happens. You can't have it 100% all the time.
