Hello dear SAMP Community,

I've switched my server to 0.3.8 RC 4-3 today and I've gotten a very weird bug?
It's about my Timer or Timers for that matter... When i create a 1000ms timer, it's twice as slow than it should be! I've made a blank GM and a Benchmark test with GetTickCount which also gave me a ~2000ms result which is not okay!

It works perfectly on the 0.3.7 RC2 Version though...
Here's the Script:

Code:

#include <a_samp>
main() {}
new TickRate;
public OnGameModeInit() {
	TickRate = GetTickCount();
	SetTimer("SecondUpdate", 1000, true);
	return 1;
}
forward SecondUpdate();
public SecondUpdate() {
	printf("TickRate: %i", GetTickCount() - TickRate);
	TickRate = GetTickCount();
	return 1;
}

The result from console:


OnPlayerUpdate is also VERY slow! 80-120ms!!!

So is this a bug? I guess so...
Kalcor should fix this ASAP.. Because i don't want to devide the speed of my timers...

Wow, timers in sa-mp being horribly inaccurate, what a shocker.

I know they are about 25% inaccurate, but not over 100%!!! But I've fixed it by changing the sleep value in the config file from 1 to 15 and it runs on ~1045ms which is fine by me... But an explanation about the sleep value would be great though...

Yeah i get it now... But the default value in the Server CFG is not 5 but 1, just a hint for you guys...

It was set to 5 in 0.3.7 as far as I know, behaves pretty well for me like that. Increasing its value perhaps decreases the download speed of the custom models, supposing they're not being redirected.

sleep isn't new. It most likely has a default value of 5 prior to 0.3.8.

Hello

you have to consider the calltime of printf, make your calcul before print it

see you

Just change sleep value in server.cfg from 1 to 3 and test it again.
