Hi!

I live in a country that does the whole daylight saving time change thing, and downtime for me is basically in the middle of the day.
I now have the following issue:

During winter time, the automatic logout for the daily server maintenance downtime seems to be working just fine.
But now, during "summer time", the bot doesn't log out anymore. It does log IN at the correct time, but the logout doesn't seem to work anymore.
I have not changed the timers in the settings, as the log in seems to work, so I was thinking maybe there is an issue with the logout time not being recognized or something?

Thanks for your help!

DT time is defined as UTC time in the bot's settings. In .Net Framework there are two times DateTime.Now and DateTime.UtcNow. Second time is recalculated automatically from your DateTime.Now and current time zone. If this recalculation is wrong we have no choice but:

1) adjust your DT time in bot's settings or
2) switch computer time zone to UTC or
3) add another timer (defined as local time) to start by 15 min before downtime and stop by 20 minutes after downtime. Timers are defiled as a time when eve does not work, so it is not difficult to add custom DT timer

Hi Slav2! thanks for the reply.

So I just tested something and tried starting the bot 5 minutes before downtime, and it does not even start the game, waits for DT to end. So it DOES recognize the time correctly as it should.
But then why does it not log out when I am already ingame? Any idea why that happens?

Thanks for your support!

DT time is not a time when bot should log out in advance. Bot wait for disconnect and prevent bot start attempts if it is downtime. To logout in advance setup Timer1-3. I could add a check and return bot to station by 1-2 minutes before DT, but bot may fight with scramblers. Cannot warp out right now and need to continue fight. So it should be more then 1-2 minutes.

Oh, so I just misunderstood the purpose of the timer! I thought it would warp to station and log out. Good to know, thanks!

Okay, then I will set up my own timer for logging off.
I have lost quite a few ships to this, because if it waits for disconnect and it is in the middle of a site and in combat, it logs back in after DT and is not quick enough to reactivate the tank modules before the respawned rats kill me

Thanks for your help! Will take it from here.
