Facebook sync problem

edited January 2014 in MPQ Bugs and Technical Issues
I've got facebook sync turned on for the Steam version and play it on multiple devices: a couple android tablets, and android phone, and my Windows laptop.

Generally I move from device to device without any problem. Whenever I'm done with a device I do a couple things to make sure the server connection is good (like checking top scores in a tournament). Then I hit back until I get to the loading screen, and exit from there.

Usually everything's fine, but a couple times a day, when I log in to the next device I find that my last fight has been "undone." My characters are suddenly injured as if they'd retreated, and in the case of a PVP fight the opponent is back on the screen with a yield button. I don't think I lose the rewards gained from winning that last fight, but I could be wrong.

Is this a known bug, or is there something more than the above I should do to make sure I'm not triggering a sync issue?

    Try making sure all your device clocks are in sync

    Yeah I thought about that after I posted. Looks like my PC is about 11 seconds ahead of my android devices - is that enough to cause a problem?

    Yes.

    Really -- use NTP (Network Time Protocol). It's been built into every OS, even Windows, for over a decade now.

    Android devices will "use network-provided time" but I have no way of knowing if that's NTP or some other source - apparently other, since my Windows machine uses NTP.

    Phones will generally use the time provided by the cellular phone carrier.

    As for your Windows box -- you may need to change what system you're using as the pool (time server), or figure out why it's off so far. Perhaps your hardware clock is drifting very rapidly.

    I just have the PC version, how do you sync with Android and Windows Tablets? Looks like I need to use facebook somehow. Any help is greatly appreciated.
