Anyone Else Seeing the Time Shift Bug?

banjo · 09-16-08, 05:31 PM

So there I am happily running 1.5, TMO and RSRDC and everything is just tickety boo. Suddenly, about two weeks ago I notice that occassionaly the time is off by anywhere from 6 to 12 hours, i.e., the sun rises about noon and goes down late in the night, or rises about 1800 and goes down the following morning.

I can see not pattern to this so have no idea what's causing it. Any thoughts?

Could it be because you sailed halfway accross the globe and your watch is still set to your 'local' time.

Ha ha. That could be it.

I forgot to add that if I exit to the Main Menu and return, the time/sun is correct again (so far).

The time you see is Base time, not local.

No, I'm not talking times so much, it's a sunrise/sunset daytime/nighttime thing.
