I can't even tell if there's any consistency to whatever it is.

A full minute left is *really bad,* there should never be a reason for it to be more than like a second off

It pausing when you switch tabs is a decent theory. Browsers aren't generally supposed to do that, but... sometimes they do what they like and specs be damned.

Yeah, I'm seeing stuff online about inactive tabs being deprioritized when the browser needs more resources and that can make a timer run behind. Hmn.

Well, it didn't totally pause... at least, I hadn't closed that tab yet but had refreshed it to the right time again, and the minute or so I was away from that tab didn't appear to interrupt it. Or I'm just bad at math.

It does definitely keep my person in the farming game from recovering stamina if I'm not in that tab, though. Also don't recover it if any menu but the on-hand inventory is open. Not even just looking through the chest.

Now THAT behavior from the farm game I've absolutely seen.

It's a little annoying, but I've been figuring ways to deal with the latter bit, at least.

I can do some rewriting to help with that, but not this year.

Especially not when the event is almost over.

I've been pushing out tiny upgrades even up to this afternoon, and probably will manage one or two more, buuuuuut

Yeah, that one is probably too big a rewrite

Oh, and uh... hopefully that bug report about the cave can help... something...? From my perspective, at least, it seemed too random to pin on anything other than a simple processing quirk. (And the game gets weirdly laggy late at night for some reason... when there's not much activity to be slowing it down...)

I made a lot of upgrades to it this year but I will be the first to admit I'm still very green and shaky-legged when it comes to MMOs

Fair.

A lot of the stuff it does I'm still a bit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ about

It still sharing processing with the rest of the site, too?

I thought your hypothesis that it was loading the items from the previous map made a lot of sense.

Yes, though I've made a lot of strides in making both things lighter weight, so they don't trip on each other neaaaaarly as often.

Yeah, that seemed like a whole string of oddities with the cave rather than a single thing... Just built up into a "the heck is happening??"

Out of curiosity... how much does dealing with RPR stuff help you improve your skills for your regular job? Seems like this is a relatively safe place to try things out.
