Dedicated Server Age Difference between Grids

[Davos]

I'm hosting a 3x2 Server and with the recent 2 more grid addition the AGEs on the server is now different depending on which grid your on. The the four original grids (2x2) that was stood up almost 30 days ago, my AGE is anywhere between 88 and 92. With the new Grids, my AGE is 26.
Is there a settings or a json change that needs to be made to correct this problem? Has anyone else seen this issue? My new Grids are 2 days old now.

Have this issue also with my dynamic server 15x15 grid (only 9 servers online @ max).
I went to D7 yesterday, came back to E7 and was 92 years old.
Had to relog to get my age back to 48.

Dunno what causes this, if you know pls share :)

PS I started playing with the 4 of us @ the same day in RL and one of us (the female) is 28 and the rest of us is 48 xD

Sounds like a BUG I need to report... thanks [XFPC]GaiusMarius, Glad to know I'm not the only one having this issue.

like Reaper said this is not a bug. If you add more islands or grids or anything to that matter that is not simple setting overrides either gameusersettings.ini or game.ini settings you have to wipe the redis database. The database reads all grids if you make changes and don't wipe you will eventually corrupt your saves. Have tested this 3 times. So you need to get you server setup the way you want it wipe the redis ;) You will start dieng crossing grids because of this ect..

Rubbish, we have expanded our server 2 times without wiping. Just gotta do it correctly.

There is also reports of different age in different grids on Official server as well. So it might just be a bug

Lol take it how you like. I have worked with database servers for years. That's not how it works. And official servers??? Really those are garbage compared to the boxes we own lol! The problem is companies Rent there servers from crappy server hosts with low end boxes. Instead of investing in there own server boxes and hiring a server crew to run them all. This is why people prefer Unofficial servers we spend a lot more on our Hardware then any of these Devs ever do for there Servers ;)

EDIT: While we make tiny donations to fund our boxes they make millions and never invest ;)

According to the BUG report on Atlas website, (https://www.playatlas.com/index.php?/forums/topic/40560-different-age-per-grid/&tab=comments#comment-206286)

The devs are looking into it. They also said this has been reported on Official servers as well. There maybe a work around although I don't think it will work. If you make sure the "USE UTC TIME" is checked then it will sync the redis DB. However mine was already checked. In a attempt to prove or disprove this theory, I have unchecked mine on a reboot and will recheck it on the next.

Also, Official doesn't add grids or do Island Swaps or map changes like unofficial server owners do. So this could be something only seen by adding grids after the server is up. Wiping the Redis DB would WIPE the server and nothing I don't want to do yet.

To conclude, my server settings also have 2x the base stats and being AGE 90+ only impacts the players Health and Stam from 200 to 190 which really isn't noticeable. However if that number decreases over time, then yes it will become a problem. I guess time will tell.

Congratulations in achieving the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ diploma of the year. Good for you buddy.

Now, I know for a fact that expansion is easily done without a wipe. We have done it. TWICE. And we have been online since the server files were released not needed to wipe a single time. EVERY issue can be fixed if you just know a tiny bit of how to work in Redis. Apparently you dont.
I will have to call bs on you so called superior database work. Else, you would have been able to do it without issues.

We host on our own boxes, and do not use crappy GSP. This is not what the discussion is about.

The age in different grids are CONFIRMED by devs, so take your ignorant ass somewhere else.

UPDATE: My team and I did the fountain of youth quest last night. So we are now level 20 and did receive the bonus buff.

The AGE did re-balance across all grids. So now no matter which grid we go into, we are AGE 20 and have our buff. Problem solved.

SIDE NOTE: When Fast Traveling you keep your FOY bonus buff. HOWEVER - If you traverse any GRID, you lose the buff and a quick relog will give your buff back.

Hopefully the devs can figure out what the deal is with AGE diff and player won't have to wait until they do the FOY quest to fix it.

Right on thanks for the info glad you got it fixed ;) Better than a server wipe for sure!
