Timer is set to System Time and not Internet Time

10 votes

My timer always shows more time than what is actually left, so I don't know when it's going to expire my turn. The friends that I play with normally don't have any issue. This has happened to me on Chrome and Firefox browsers and it repro's 100% of the time. The only difference I can think of between me and my friends is that I'm using a Mac laptop while they are on PC's.

clock sets to 2:15 per move when should be a minute and jumps around all over the place!

This is also happening to me!! It always shows like 2 minutes and something.... then counts down, even though I only get like 50s per turn so it's very misleading. It doesn't happen to any of my friends. It could be that I am hosting the game? I'm not sure. Very frustrating and I am the one who bought the expansion pack so I am the one who usually hosts the game.

OP, I don't think it is because you are using a Mac because i'm using a PC and I get the same issue.

I have the same problem - the timer starts from around 3 minutes and counts back, by my time is up before it reaches to two minutes.

I only use chrome, but I have updated several chrome versions and the problem keeps happening.

Hey guys,

I have figured out the issue. It's probably because your clock on your computer is not set correctly. When I synced my timezone, this fixed the timer issue.

Have fun!

This happened a few days ago in a tournament game. My opponent rolled a 7, was chatting with other people (asking for a trade so that the robber didn't go on a spot) and as soon as the robber timer went down to 0 (not sure if my opponent placed the robber or not, actually) their entire turn ended.

You need to sync your clock.
