Veteran server hub activation game clock requires maintenance

Veteran server game clock requires maintenance -
Hub activation notification changes from showing the actual DATE and TIME of hub activation to "Tomorrow" and activation TIME on the day before hub activation.
Server game DATE does not change until many hours AFTER 00:00 game server time and so the game clock jumps forward instantly many hours from, for example,
1/21/2020 05:00 to 1/22/2020 05:01 -
see screenshots https://prnt.sc/qr2bf6 to https://prnt.sc/qr2bko
Hub activations are incorrectly delayed 24 hours when the hub activation time is in the early hours of a new server game day from 00:00 to 05:00.
The problem is that changing the hub activation notification DATE and TIME to "Tomorrow" and TIME is fouling the hub timer and causing losses for the hub owner.
I suggest programmers abandon "Tomorrow" hub activation notification and simply keep the original DATE and TIME hub activation notification that appears when the hub deactivates. Another solution might be to not allow hub activations to occur from 00:00 to 05:00 server game time to insure that the correct game DATE is always shown.
  • Hello Commander,

    may I ask what time zone your are in so we can investigate why the timer malfunctions. We have had trouble with time/date calculation in the past when it comes to date changes around midnight across different time zones. There still seems to be a problem with the time displayed in your case.

    Also can you confirm this does happen without scripts enabled as well?
    And are you sure this only happens on Veteran?

    I'm trying to reproduce this so I'll maybe come back at you with a few more questions.
  • my Options | Language/Time settings tab
    World time, time format 24 hour - my location is EST USA
    I will check other servers I play for the same error at Midnight and if the error is across all servers then I can experiment and change my Options to Custom time | Offset (GMT) 1 hours to match World time and then wait another game day to see the results. Then I can try turning off all scripts to see if there is interference from them.
  • Thank your very much that would be useful., We are investigating on our end if we can find any instances where the date change is not executed properly.
