    From Nigel Reed@1:124/5016 to Fidonet.DOORGAMES on Sunday, April 17, 2022 06:00:36
    I just tried some of the games out and I'm immediately told that my
    time is up and I'm sent back to my board. Anyone else had similar
    issues before I start trying to debug it?

    Thanks,
    Nigel

    Can't say I've had this issue. I have these installed and they work fine.

    Sounds like a door config problem or a drop file problem.

    Check the following:

    - The remaining time reported in whatever drop file your BBS is creating.
    - The CFG file(s) for the doors. Check line 11 and maybe 13 as well.
    - While you're at it, is line 1 pointing to the right drop file path?

    I upped line 11 from 2 to 10 and I deleted an old drop file and it's
    working now. Not sure which one fixed it. Oh well thanks for the
    suggestions.
