There is currently a bug which is affecting the 'main server timer'. This timer runs once a second and handles a lot of things such as cop evasion, mission scripts, mission timers and so on. It breaking can result in many other unrelated systems breaking.
The first I noticed this bug was how mission timers would miss a second when counting down, i.e. 1:22, 1:21, 1:20,
1:19, 1:19, 1:18, 1:17, 1:16, 1:15,
1:14, 1:14 or something. You may also notice your wanted stars don't flash for one second every 5 seconds. The fact that this bug happens every 5 seconds (e.g. at game time 13:00, 13:05, 13:10 etc.) is not surprising, as many things are set to run every 5 seconds to increase efficiency, rather than running every single second.
This bug isn't active at all times, which makes it a lot harder to debug. Someone on the server has to be doing a specific thing for the code to somehow stop working during the main timer. Just need to find out what. I'm currently working on debugging this, and debugging code will be added in the next update to help me pinpoint the exact issue. I'll have to wait until it happens again and run the debug code.
Examples of bugs reported which are 99% likely to be caused by this:

Thank you.
