Resolving "Clock Skew Detected" Warning in C++

[Black_Rose©]

Hello everyone! Many of you might encounter the "Clock skew detected" warning when compiling your game source code. This warning indicates potential discrepancies in file timestamps, which could lead to incomplete builds. Here’s how to effectively resolve this issue.

Understanding the Issue

Warning Message

You might see a warning like this during your compilation process:

This is the hidden content, please

• Sign In
• or
• Sign Up

This typically means that some files have different timestamps, and the build system suspects that the latest changes may not have been fully reflected in the compilation.

Solution Steps

To fix this problem, follow these steps after you notice the warning:

1. Navigate to the Game Source Directory
   Open your terminal and change the directory to where your game source files are located. The command will be:

• This is the hidden content, please

  • Sign In
  • or
  • Sign Up

  (Replace your_source_folder with the actual name of your source directory.)

• Update Timestamps of Files
  To ensure all files have the correct timestamps, execute the following command:

2. This is the hidden content, please

   • Sign In
   • or
   • Sign Up

   This command will traverse through all files in the directory and update their timestamps, which should resolve the clock skew issue.

After performing these steps, recompile your project. You should no longer see the "Clock skew detected" warning, and your build should be complete and accurate. Keeping an eye on such warnings can significantly enhance the stability of your game.
