Servant timer does not progress when game closed in offline mode?

[Ketec]

This is quite disappointing. Having limited hours to play, i started the game today - and it hadn't moved at all.
Do i have to keep the game running all the time 24/7?

Servant timers do progress while offline.

@Suzaku, the OP is talking about single player not server based

As am I. Servant misison timers continue while offline, including in private games. It has been like this since the Gloomrot update a year ago.

Ah, unless OP is referring to conversion timer, and not the missions that you send them out on. If that's the case, then that doesn't continue while offline, but does have a server setting to greatly reduce it.

You can adjust the setting when you create a solo play world squash all those refinement times crafting and servent convert do the lowest and your good they pop out in 10 minutes so adjust to what makes it sweet for you.

The timers definitely move in solo. They made the change in Gloomrot so servant timers tick down whether solo or online or not.

I do not see the option to adjust the setting on a existing game - just select difficulty with no "advanced" option.

But my servant timers were exactly the same where i left them yesterday when i closed the game.

Don't know what to tell you. I sent my guys out on a 23-hour mission shortly before going to bed last night. Woke up to them having only 12 hours left this morning. Been sending them on missions every day for several days now, not really playing that much, and keep returning to them with bags full of loot from their full day missions.

not the mission - but converting a human into a vampire

When you choose load game, before server is started, there are game settings button with everyfthing you need

[Suzaku]

Ah, so you were referring to conversion time. That clears things up.

You can use crypt flooring to reduce the time it takes to convert a human into a servant. Also:

Not for the offline game - you just have Continue.

The only config file I found was in the cloud saves folder but that did not seem to apply at all. Likely overwritten by steam cloud.

Yes, for the offline game. Main menu > Load Game > select your server > Edit Settings.

AH, looks like lowest it will go is 0.25, which is ~2.5H

You want a higher number. Crank it to 6 and that reduces the conversion time to under 7 minutes, and that's without crypt flooring.

So I was playing in ultra hardcore mode by setting everything to 0.25
