Total time is wrong for Microsoft Solitaire Event Challenges

Yesterday I had a time of 11+ hours for time played on The Hard Road.  I realized that it might be my wifi connection that racks up the extra time. So now I have to remember to disconnect from wifi after closing out the game, before shutting down.  I'm hoping this will help.  I was in the game for about an hour in the am, times were correct, had to shut down and take care of some work for several hours. didn't play again til the evening. Also what can really foul a person up is if when you complete a tournament challenge it says, we're having trouble connecting.... try again or cancel. once you hit cancel, it seems like it thinks you are still connected. (sort of like failing the challenge) doubly frustrating because you already beat it.

I checked the time I had with one challenge remaining and I had 1:44 to finish the challenge and take over first place ahead of every other player.  I finished the challenge in 1:19, but I was shown as coming in second place - 2 seconds behind the same time that I had just looked at.  What a crock!  I have also noticed that as you progress during the challenge, it will hold the scores back for some of the other players allowing your score total to surpass them, then all of a sudden it shows that they completed 9 or 10 challenges in 30 or so minutes when it was no there just 2 minutes earlier.

From the Microsoft Event Facebook page:

7. There is currently a bug where if you close the window using the "X" button or ALT+F4 during or at the end of an event challenge, you may incur extra time, so make sure you always go back to the event screen or main menu screen before closing the app!

It seems to me to keep counting the time if I close down the game after failing on one of the challenges. If I succeed and close down there are no issues, If I fail on one (and then stop because, you know, work) and close bang 10+ hours like today.

So usually I only go as far as hard and then stop if I have to stop playing because of outside factors.

No  - I often play some challenges before bed and then finish the event the next day. I always make sure I complete the challenge successfully before I close down the game and my PC. Then when I complete the challenges the next day it will tally the total time between the first and last challenge of the event as opposed to the total time of the individual challenges. It's a bug.

If you retry, the timer starts from zero. But, when you finish the time added for this challenge is the total time used of all your attempts for the challenge not just the last one.
