If I disable DST, start the game and then re-enable it, on my computer, it auto detects that DST was enabled again, so now I gotta live with DST disabled which will throw off my other alarms/calendars
easiest fix for this is to turn DST off and set your device to Atlantic(Canadian) time if your on east coast servers
reading your post saying to Source from players PC and alarms based on Server time wouldnt really work at same time, best option is to base it entirely on Server time(not your pc clock) since all of the events run all day anyway you wouldnt actually miss any
No you would base only the timer on the top left top left. All event alarms would go off of server time though. And the events don’t run all day. Some run every 2 hours and some are only run 2-3 times per day depending on the day of the week. So this is still an issue.
this would still be reliant on your PC settings though mate, since the reason the TOP left clock is wrong is your PC setting and yes every 2 hours but it is all day at those 2hr inntervals, some islands like Harmony have specific times and those are it. basing everything on the actual server time with no reliance on the alarms from your PC clock alleviates any wonkiness of DST affecting server time.
I am showing PDT and it is still off by 1 hour hotfix didn’t resolve the issue. Bump to get his fast tracked.
As much as it is fun to shit on AGS, these patches are coming from Smilegate.
They’ve never had to deal with DST before for LA, so I’m not really surprised it’s having issues.
yes because Smilegate themselves doesnt have to deal with DST as their country doesnt use it, so it wouldnt be programmed into it. where im unsure in the regards of the ru server, but i dont think russia uses dst either.
after a quick google russia doesnt use DST so that also would prevent coding of DST into the game.
None of the prior regions use DST, so KR, RU, and JP are all non-dst countries.
And not every country that currently has LA uses DST either, DST is a mess thank god we’re eventually getting rid of it.
I mean it shouldn’t be rocket science to fix its a 1 hour offset.
they did attempt to +1 the time of the servers, but dst setting on the individual pcs is still throwing it +1 ontop of that.
It’s not that simple, it has to be a fix that works for everyone, not even every state in the US follows DST (Arizona and Hawaii don’t), much less other countries.
It wasn’t initially in the game because it wasn’t needed, so they’re trying to shoehorn it in.
It is that simple when you go off server time like they do. They aren’t using my time locally.
I mean, the events themselves were running fine, it was just the timers that were borked.
Now everything is screwy.
So obviously, no, not as simple as you want to make it appear, nothing in programming ever is as simple as one would want it to be 
i personally dont use my local time zone for reasons im not going to discuss, as a default my PC is hard locked to UTC, so i dont see these issues.
some day the whole world will finally stop using DST and we won’t have these issues ever again.
Utah is finally stopping this year so this roll forward is the last one hopefully forever. That’s what the funny thing is…it didn’t happen on the roll back it happened on the spring ahead which should be normal time anyway lol
Most of the 70 the use DST are in NA or EU. which is a big portion of Global Lost Ark.
unless the Sunshine Protection act passes, they cant stay on Daylight time(Spring forward) as its against Federal Law which Prohibits this. Staying on Winter(Standard Time) is fine though.
Well, with any luck the US won’t be part of that after a year and half. Can’t wait.
