Server synch?
« on: Sep 27th, 2006, 9:02am »		 Quote Quote  Modify Modify
Not an issue at all, but I just wondered if the European server is "out of synch" with the USA server? - I was offered a 5.8 Mb update this morning from the European server and having passed on that I got the 27 Sept ruleset update from the US server for the price of a mere 100 kb or so.
 
But really, no worries at all as long as the updates come from somewhere  Cool

I'm not exactly sure what the issue is between these two servers.  HOWEVER, since the incorporation of the incremental updates, if you switch between servers the update occurs differently.  For example:
 
I use the USA server routinely.  If I select the UK server, it will redownload ALL the updates even if I am fully updated.  If I then switch back to the USA server, it will redownload everything again.  
 
One thing I noticed is that they download in the reverse order of each other.  One downloads the accummulative first; the other downloads the accummulative last.  
 
The key is that they both end up with the same rulesets when completed.  
 
Weird, eh?   Wink

The cause for this is the UK server being 6 hours "ahead" in time zones of the US server. So updating with a "US update" will cause LiveUpdate to think there is a newer update available because of the time difference.
 
I will see if this can be solved by changing the timestamps on the servers.
