Weird server time issues

Has anyone who is hosting races seen behaviour where the time left in
the session is completely screwed up? I have had the server configured
to have a 5 minute practice session, and then in-game it says there are
25 minutes left in the top left corner of the screen. Then we had a
qualify session where it was saying "890 seconds to go" in the chat
window, like it usually does in the wait time before a race session, but
this was qually. We had several sudden server crashes with everyone
losing connection, even though the server was still actually running.

Looking in the server log files, the timestamps are screwed, look at these negative times:

This was one of the times when everyone disappeared and lost connection.

The only thing that was a little unusual about the server config was
that I had a custom grid with specific drivers in it, and not all of the
drivers showed up. I don't know if that made any difference or not.

Has anyone got any idea what could be causing this?

I'm no expert with server stuff, but I think you can only set a session by the amount of laps (not time), waiting time is available with every session I think & did the crash happen in the rain by any chance?

No, no rain. The practice and qual sessions are set by time and the race sessions are set by number of laps.

Ah, I told you I was no expert when it came to servers That's odd, the update fixed crashes in the dry, but there still seems to be an issue in the wet (as RD & RSR events have experienced them).

Hi, is anyone having trouble seeing the server list today?

Fuoco ad Aruba, il web
in cenere: siti locali oscurati
Forse la causa per mancanza di server.

Fire in Aruba, the web
in ash blacked out local sites
Perhaps due to lack of servers.
