First Timer is a temporary timer. but it doesn't fired. at the same time second timer left time become to 17 minutes, but you can see minute still is 4 minutes(I saw this in Tree View)

I'm using V 4.73


This world(MCL) file work very well for days.
I stop the mushclient this morning on my computer. then I copy world file to another computer, then start it, after sometimes it doesn't work, just happend what i mentioned above. but a fewer minutues later first timer fired.(I saw it on output.

the two computer have different time.

Did I describe it clear?

What operating system does it *not* work on?

Make sure timers are enabled.

Check File -> Global Preferences -> Timers. Make sure Timer Interval is 0 seconds.

Windows XP SP3

I'm running this OS in VirtualBox.


timer is enabled, you can see this pic http://www.flickr.com/photos/cocobears/6021221501/

I didn't change the value of Timer Interval, and it's 0

First, my second timer' left time become 22m(from above pic).
It's really strange.

Sounds like an artifact of VirtualBox. Is this running under Ubuntu or similar? Have you tried Wine? I haven't had any problems reported about timers that I can recall.

It running on Fedora 8. I haven't try wine. I have to run it on virtual machine.

You mean it may be a problem of VirtualBox? It happened days before. How can I supply more helpful information?

Perhaps you can try run mushclient on an OS running in VirtualBox, I think it will appeared again.

Wine is not an emulator. I suggest you try that.

I knew wine, but it not suit in my situation.

My host and guest have differen time, so "time sync problem" appeared.

I disable time sync of virtual, and now it works fine.

Thanks for your help.
