Starting a game simultanously - One starts 1sec before the other

Question

So I coded that the game started once the other user send a comeback with the UTC time. So I coded that both games should start at UTC+3Seconds (currentTimeMillis()+3000). When I try it on desktop (I use libgdx) it works fine, but when I start it on different mobiles, one mobile is starting 1sec after the other one. Both are good devices etc and I dont understant the problem... One device is a OnePlus 3 and the other is a Nexus 5. Any advice? I am just confused because on desktop it works well.

Answer 1

Hi Raul,

You can try this:

Start Time = Comeback time in UTC + 3 sec - current time in UTC at the receiver end.

I hope it will help.
