24h and AM/PM toggle

Another year, another time to ask for a setting for having either 24h time or 12h (am/pm) regardless of language selected.

I prefer to play with English, but then I can't have 24h clock. English could have the classic ENG USA or ENG UK, UK uses 24h in writing.

  • Totally agree... I play in English but as a European 12h clocks are weird... I can read them, but I need to think about it. It's not spontaneous

  • Yes please. I would consider playing in English if a 24h clock were available in English. The code is there to display 24h because it's used in other languages.

    Yeah, I get the same small confusion at those times and have to doublecheck my brain so I got the actual time right lol. It's not that I don't understand am/pm, it's just unnatural to me to think in those terms.

    Just as it could be odd for someone used to Fahrenheit to suddenly use Celsius.

    If I swap to Swedish I get the 24h clock, so clearly the mechanic is built into the game, just make it an option instead rather than tied to language choice.

  • Yeah, as an army brat, I am use to 24hr, and so often in game I have gotten the time wrong cause it be like a grey winter/raining day, and assume it is 04:00 not 16:00 or vice versa.
