    Weird play time bug

    Today i‘ve found the proof for an assumption i had for a long time that there must be something wrong with the play time counter.

    Among other strange issues i have with the game (e.g. achievements moving from an alternate profile to my main profile [and back] …) i discovered another one regarding the play time counter.
    Maybe it‘s only linked to my setup (WINE and OS X).

    Anyway, my profile shows 954 hours of play time. Considering that i started playing around Christmas last year, that would mean i‘ve played ~3 hours every day.
    Well, though i play a bit almost every day that value just can‘t be correct.

    When i started playing during coffee break today, my play time was a tad above 953 hours. The game then – as it does fairly often with me – crashed after about fifteen minutes, and shortly after that play time was already close to 954 hours.
    I started refreshing my user stats page every few seconds and everytime play time has increased by two to four minutes. And it didn‘t stop until i killed all WINE-related processes manually.

    I created another profile (http://www.redlynxtrials.com/Profile...?name=HaruTest) for reproducing that issue. The profile was online at maximum half an hour, crashed after about ten minutes and now play time already is almost 8 hours.

    So, at least after each crash it seems some instance of the game remains running (with totally messed up run time or whatever).
