In-game F9 Server Log displays weird/incorrect times

The F9 log shows log times that don’t change or barely change. I have noticed this for months so I am wondering why it hasn’t been addressed and didn’t immediately see one by searching.

As you can see by printing tick(), definitely more than one second has passed… If I were to start a brand new server like 15 minutes later…

time is still 18:00:00 and even goes backwards by a second sometime.

tick() isn’t consistent and the time it returns depends on the timezone of the server.
Use os.time() for UTC, which is consistent.
edit nevermind, i misread the post

The tick() is only there to prove several seconds have actually passed between log entries, the problem isn’t related to timezone or anything like that. The log time is basically stuck at “18:00:00” indefinitely.

Hello! I’ve not been able to reproduce this issue. Does it occur on any specific game by any chance?

I’ve noticed this issue as well. Server log timestamps being 18:00:00 and appearing out of order. Not sure how to reproduce at the moment unfortunately

I’ve noticed this issue as well. Usually it says “18:00:00”.
