Weird timing bug

Hi all

I am experiencing a weird timer bug since some of the Crucible patch version and it goes on through several Wine and fglrx versions.

If I do any change (skill queue and contacts are the most prominent ones) before first session change (jump/undock etc) then the client timer starts to run like mad, the skill training timer does the same and the client is basicaly unable to perform any operation that changes my status (passive ones like browsing the market works). I have to restart the client to fix it.

Gentoo 64bit, 2.6.38 kernel, wine version I think is 1.3.37, fglrx 11.12.

hw:

dual opteron 2220, Radeon HD 5830, 8GB ram

maybe it's the NUMA nature of my system, but it seems that the client vs server time go out of sync.

anybody else having a similar issue ?

Do your clock is stable?

EVE is very sensitive to time.

I have the same issue, but it will often happen when I'm doing nothing at all -- just idling in station.

I'm running an nVidia card.

This is a known issue. I've had it for a long, long time.

Either stop using ntpd or deal with it Straight

care to explain the details ? I could imagine only one instance where this makes a problem and that is if your system time runs ahead each time between ntp syncs. but then you'd collide with the eve server for beeing too much in the future anyway.
