Unread post Daylight Savings Time
Is there something in the game that takes into account DST?

Seems Last Fall and then Spring (Last week) Extern was running 1 hour off schedule.
I was thinking because they changed the days we adjust our clocks.

My computer clock was correct and auto adjusting for DST.

Thanks,
Data

Extern should run to whatever your system clock is set at. If you server adjusted to the DST change then extern should have ran at the correct time.

TWGS has always had an issue at DST but an issue easily resolved...All u have to do is close TWGS then reopen it AFTER daylight savings takes effect.

Laff. Yea, DST happens at the OS level, so updates happen according to the operating system. Windows sent out an update w/ that in mind, so most windows OSes will automatically update.

It's fun as heck to be in a game w/ daylight savings time changes. Wierrrrrd things happen. Planets suddenly leap forward, magic turns appear, it's funny stuff. But given when it happens it's not likely that a sysop will be around to shut it off for exactly the moment of the change-over, so alas... it's not an easy fix.
