Time sync problem = not bug. Moved to Help.

Hi:

 

Time sync in Singleplayer isn´t the same as Multiplayer. If you want to make a 'clean' profile, avoid sleeping in MP for the first time, or any other actions that will make time advance. 

 

Another way is firing your drivers.

^ So hang on, how does this work?

 

I have a profile I like to play on both SP and MP. MP basically just to show-off my shiny new beast and SP when the road rage kicks in. I have a company in SP mode, 5 AI drivers across 2 garages. They all drive decent DAF trucks and make good money.

 

So what you saying is, that if I have that setup in SP, and I join MP, take a job and decide to have a snooze, it will somehow "desync" time on the SP and make the AI drivers "travel time" and complete many jobs in, for example, a day?

 

I've heard rumors about this bug/exploit/issue but can't seem to either understand it nor replicate it TO understand it. Please set me straight.

So, if you play in SP, then switch to MP, the time will advance dramatically, because MP time is ahead of SP time. 

 

For example, if you open SP, the time on your SP game is 1:30PM on the 24th January 2016 (game time/date). And then if you switch to MP, the time in MP is 5:10am on the 29th of December 2016 (game time/date).

 

So when MP is opened, your profile thinks that the time is whatever the time is in MP instead of the normal time it is in SP. So it advances all of its timings (including drivers loads and earnings) to the current time in MP.

 

Essentially, the time in MP is constantly ticking over whereas in your SP profile, when you exit, time stops.

 

This is a known thing and nothing will be done with it because the time is based off of server, so time never stops therefore your drivers are always earning lots of money. You earn so much money when you switch from Single Player to Multi Player because the game is catching up to MP time.

 

As has been mentioned above, there are 2 main solutions to avoid late deliveries:

 

1) Fire all your drivers in your company too avoid all that money coming into your profile when you switch.

or (the more logical and easier solution)

2) Create a new profile purely for MP so that there is no time changing and no late deliveries.

Hi!

When I joined MP after some break, my game was on week 112 and the server was on week 188 so my 10 drivers managed to earn 35M euros when my SP game synced to MP (not to mention +400k km on all my trucks mileage counters). I didn't like it and I don't like to have different profile for MP and SP. Also firing my experienced drivers wasn't an option. So I came up with a solution (slight modification to solution 2 mentioned above). I loaded my previous autosave (the one before I earned 35M euros) in SP and moved all my drivers to empty garages (had to upgrade 2 of them to make some room). Then I loaded that save in MP and my drivers earned only about 60k euros from their unfinished jobs. Now I can move them back to their trucks
