Because time/ticks is how the game server knows what players did in the last second, and how to predict for the next second of gameplay (at a very high level).
The error is serious enough to warrant stopping the server - if they removed this error message, your next complaint would be that the game begins to suffer horrible prediction/lag every time this message would have appeared. The error message is just a symptom of the bigger problem (your clock is drifting too much too quickly). I would research further in to why you are having this time sync problem (maybe the ntp server you are using is lousy? Try another - or maybe even try and update the clock more often before it gets too out of sync). - Andrew -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ronny Schedel Sent: Thursday, 16 July 2009 11:55 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Counter-Strike 1.6 Update Available Why a server has to stop working when the time went back 1 second? Yes, because it is a bug in the hlds update.
