I thought that a simple mapchange fixes this, rather than a restart? I didn't think this issue affected EngineTime, either.
A floating point error makes perfect sense.
Of course back in 2017, when I wrote this, I probably didn't even know what a floating point was!

Simply changing the map is probably a better solution, but I figure a restart is going to possibly catch other issues that might also exist on a server. The one downside I can think of for a restart, is that it creates a whole new log file.

Once the basic functionality is public as an actual plugin, I'd be very welcoming if anyone wanted to update it an add the ability to initiate a map change instead. Of course this does open questions about which map and how to decide.

I would assume then that there are no obvious issues. I am inclined to submit this as an actual public-ready plugin then soon.
