Syncing your System Time
Learn how to properly sync your system time on your 2nd PC for DMA cheats to work correctly.
Why Time Sync Matters
Some DMA software requires accurate system time for license validation and proper functionality. Time drift between your PCs can cause authentication failures or licensing issues.
Windows Automatic Sync
Enable automatic time sync in Windows:
- Open Settings > Time & Language > Date & time
- Enable 'Set time automatically'
- Enable 'Set time zone automatically'
- Click 'Sync now' to force immediate update
Manual Sync via Command Prompt
If automatic sync fails, open Command Prompt as Administrator and run: w32tm /resync /force. This forces Windows to sync with the time server immediately.
Using Google Time Server
For more reliable sync, you can use Google's time servers. In Command Prompt as Admin, run: w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:"time.google.com" /syncfromflags:manual /update
