No it has to be something else, because I have been alive for almost 4 days and I have played well over 16 hours in that time, but it only shows me as playing for 4 hours.

That 4 hours is an estimate for all players, not just you.

I played for almost 3.5 hours today, and it only increased my time played by about 30 min.

I think because server time is slowed as server fps goes down the shitter, it doesn't catch as much playtime as it should, therefore you won't have played "as much" according to the server.

Same reason why it is sometimes night on EU servers when it has already become day in the area which the time is based off.
