That is the priest's logs, standing 1 tile away from a 91ql gold alter.

Like clockwork, every hour. Lasts about 15 minutes.

One interesting property of these times is that they lose hold every 4095 seconds (+/-1 second). The interesting part is that 4095 is 111111111111 in binary, so there's possibly some bitwise error going on in the code there. The "reached this place" message comes 819 seconds after losing hold, which is 1/5th of the overall cycle.

 

I don't know why it would affect only Xanadu, unless it's because Xanadu is so much larger than the other servers. E.g. the code might spread the load by updating only some fixed-size chunk of the map at a time, and Xanadu has too many such chunks to calculate them all before the next influence check comes around again.

 

Or something like that. I'm not a Wurm dev.

 

Edit: for arithmetic errors.

With the approval of Becket, I spent 50 minutes on As_I_Decay's deed and Vynora did not lose her domain once.


 


Please verify that the issue is no longer happening.

Played for more than 8 hours today and can verify that I am no longer having any issues.

Thanks to all staff that helped out in getting this solved!
