Clock Bug?

Please explain the first mission just east of England with 4 hours of darkness and the mouse text is not a fixed number of hours off from the clock.

No, the others are correct. Something is off and I believe it is my ultra fast computer with Windows 10 (64) pro. One day the sun sets at 02:30 and then next day (300km away) it sets at 08:17 ??? Please explain that with GMT.

I don't want to question your personal competence.
Well indeed you must have a problem somewhere...lol...what you are telling me is not possible even on this meridian at this season.
You play Onealex mod well, don't you?
what is your mod list? you are talking to me about mission...but it is indeed the campaign mission...if I understand the 2nd one correctly, isn't it?

To complete: we are on the meridian 0 gmt Paris London...etc
here is the map of the zones
Your campaign starts at the end of August/September


I just looked up the time of this port in Germany (Wilhelmshaven, Germany)
01:02 local
Sunday January 21, 2024 (UTC+1) here we see very well +1 so you add an hour
Time (Wilhelmshaven, Germany)
so everything works...
What time is GMT +1?
It is defined as the universal reference point. This means that the local time in London, called Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), is used as a reference to calculate time around the world. For example, for the time in France, its offset from London is 1 hour, so France has a GMT+1.
All European countries in UTC+1 use the same date for daylight saving time (called Central European Summer Time)
in your campaign you are on summer schedule so everything is working now maybe a problem understanding civil engineering or maybe you don't understand the game...
the mouse moving over the clock here screen

Know that I have been using Alex's mod for a very long time... I was one of the first to support this work which is super stable.. Alex himself you will have answered but we all know here the ordeal he is going through besides I have I can't wait for him to come back and for this stupid war to stop...For my part I think that you tinkered with the mod where you used too much time compression because I have never had this kind of problem I have carried out these missions several times. campaign and I had nothing of the sort
or it comes from your Framrate being set incorrectly, nothing else...
For proof that it works perfectly I invite you to see the YT channel of my friend Tonci87
who does a remarkable job of narration and explanations if you frequent his channel you will realize that he has a great talent is that not only on Silent Hunter

This will be the end of the explanation, have fun

Thanks for all the info on various time zones. However, as I have said many times, this is NOT a time zone issue. Time zones are all off an even number of hours. I am on mission 3 and have had 36 hours and 41 minutes straight of darkness in AN26 and AN16, east of England. It sucks when your clock says it is 11:16 (on 24 hour military cycle) and it is still pitch black out so you can't see ships in the scope.

And, no, I am not running any mods, as I said initially. It is a plain version from Steam.

I do not run compression higher than 128 times - ever, and most of the time I stay at 32 or 64.

I have checked the file validation on Steam and there are no issues.

I have saved games when I was unable to locate a ship after trying for 8 hours to get a shot, and restarted at an earlier time to try again. I can'[t imagine that this would cause the clock problem.

Again, when you hover the mouse over the clock, it says "Local Time". Maybe the mods some of you are using say "GMT". I wish that the issue was time zones, because then it would make sense.

It seems that you don't understand what you are doing...
There is no Steam version here...lol
Read the documentation and your problems will be sorted out

I never claimed AI purchased the game from SUBSIM. Do they even sell the game?

This site was recommended to me on Steam.

I have read ALL the documentation many times and there is nothing that helps with this issue. I did not have this issue when playing the game in 2005.

Why are you criticizing me for trying to get help from people who supposedly know all the details about this game? The issues I am having are real and I need helpful suggestions, not trash.

its been awhile since i play stock sh3 maybe 15 or more years i remember having that problem but seem like it wasn't different each day since your not running mods you can rule that out im sure you did a save exit reload which usually fixes any problems

[Kal_Maximus_U669]

There is nothing to buy.. you just have to download the mod... then unzip it... create a shortcut on your desktop eventually..that's all..!!
Really read the doc provided... read rather than want to go faster... and not understand anything it becomes tiring to go around the same subjects without stopping... here on the forum.. in the docs.... everything is clear... it's incredible you ramble like grandpas... the cause: everyone wanting to 'eat' without taking the time to understand..that's the today's internet world...everyone devours videos...faster...faster...but I don't read it's too tiring...then I ask someone like that I have nothing to do. ..lol anything.."LOL"

I add @les green01 if it is to provide this kind of response I would abstain in your place besides your posts here and elsewhere it is the same with you...help stop telling your life story..

Thank you for the help. Yes, saving, exiting and then reloading does not fix the clock issue, which gets worse as the mission goes longer. Once I saved and exited at around 21:50 and the sun was just starting to set. When I reloaded to continue the next day it was the same time, only it was pitch black out with stars in the sky.

I have a really fast computer that I use for video editing and wonder if that is the problem.
