Was there a programming change for peace period?

In the PL game, the Player and AI peace period is shown as 2 days in the World Harold. We just experienced day change 2 to 3, however when ordering attacks the game is generating a pop up window telling us we have another 10 hours 15 minutes to wait. I believe this would roughly coincide to when the game was created based on the communications of password and game ID.

Was their a change in programming code to start a timer when the game is created to count days for peace period? versus the old code of day change in the WH?

Has anyone else experienced similar in their games in the past few days?

Correction: Message states I can not attack until 10:12 AM

That is weird, you can push the attack button as if there was no peace period, but you still can't attack.

I tried attacking 3 different countries with the attack button, I tried declaring war first, I tried rebooting the game, the PC and tired reopening the game with the "i" button. All to no avail.

It's a bug, no question.

Was it a starts when full game? Just experienced the same thing last night. Couldn’t declare war and when I tried to invade it said needed to wait until xx:xxam. At that time I could then declare war.

No PL is password protected to signed up players only, with private message invites to the game ID. But we did hear through the WH that it was a programming change. My understanding is, now a timer starts at game creation for the number of days in the peace period, so 2 days becomes 48 hours from creation time.

imo, this is actually good in some ways as 48 hours allows you to bring artillery to the opening. In some games 2 days was a little over 24 hours if creation/start time occurred moments before the server changed the game date.

Tyler please look at the DATE of the post before responding to a post that is over 5 years old, anything over 30 days old probably doesnt need to respond to it. This discussion is long over and doesnt need to be necro'd
