A Time Bug

Andross2000 · 05-07-14, 06:48 PM

Hello subsim! [first post woo!]

I been playing the Steam version of SH3 for a while now, and suddenly I have ran into a bug.
Basically, when I load my savegame, I'm in the middle of the North Sea, my clock reads 08:23. Daytime.

But then if I tab-out, come back in...or use time compression...then it turns to night time.

Even if the clock still reads 08:23. Weird right?

EXTRA DETAILS
**This is also a savegame I have only just reloaded up after a few years. I had a bug in the savefile that didn't let me save, so I didn't play SH3 for a long time. Now I have a new system, and have just loaded this up.
**I like to play in real time a lot (do IRL things on the side), and used time compression in the beginning, but once I was past Sweden, I went to realtime.
**Time might be flipped. I was doing some tests...I start at the 08:23 time...and use time compression. Turns Night time. At about 14:30, it turns daytime again. It's daytime at midnight.

**My game time says Sept. 7th, 1939, 08:32, while my save file says Sept. 1st, 1939. This was the same day where I think I ran into the bug on my old system of not being able to save. Have tried to mess around saving on new days/etc. but to no avail. Still says Sept. 1. Only shows actual date if I abandon mission. Ex: "Sept 7th, 1939, In base after mission".

Hope I have not made anything more confusing.

Has anyone else any experience in this bug?
How messed up is my game?
SYSTEM
I'm using Win7 x64
Nvidia 560 Ti
8GB RAM
i5 3570K @ 3.40 GHz
Just got SSD as well. Though game is installed on other drive.

I might just have to reinstall & create a brand new save or something.
If nobody can solve this, but this becomes a google search, know you are not alone!
