Title: "on-screen clock"
Post by: Styx on March 27, 2012, 13:19
i think it's a good idea if mick make "on screen clock" to show you pc clock not with GMT+ because in romania in other hour than in GMT+2. when you have enabled "on-screen clock" to show your pc hour

if the on screen clock in the top right corner is incorrect, go to your options and set your time zone to correct it. I know its not right anyway because im in +8, and it sets it an hour to fast anyway.

Ok guys pay attention:)


While being IG


do /settings  : select Timezone offset : ( select your timezone)


do /time and if correct you will have your own country clock time:)

GMT+yout_timezone+1hr :D

and you will have own country clock time, which works like 8 mins too forward than windows/xfire one :D

Modification of suggestion:
The problem with current clock is, that is takes offset only as integer type and not float type values.

That means it takes time offset as 1,2,3..... etc.
Some players like in 3.5, 4.5 , 5.5 (thats me btw), etc. cannot set there time offset, they will have to do it as 3,4 or 5, which is not the correct time for their country.

So the clock can be improved if float type offset could be set for ingame clock.

Or just use xfire and set the clock to be displayed in game.

I could fix this next time I'm improving the clock. So far I've heard only Tybet having an odd timezone. What country are you from?

btw remember all that..
we are all on DST now!
DST - Daylight Saving Time (Summer Time)
so..
GMT+0 => GMT+1 (GMT+0 + DST)
GMT+1 => GMT+2 (GMT+1 + DST)
GMT+2 => GMT+3 (GMT+2 + DST)
etc..
