RE: Daylight Savings
Like Animal said, the patch would've been in the Windows Update... I don't see why they should changed the date of daylight savings for some stupid games to be honest. I hate when the clocks go backwards or forwards :p. You have to wake up an hour earlier than usual 8-).

They obviously can't warp the universe.

Though they decide on almost everything, even things that you see as common sense have been decided by the government, and could easily be changed, though the people responsible for a stupid change wouldn't be very popular soon after. They have decided that the time system that we use is the time system that we use, though you'd just expect people to give you the time as something like 5:24 PM anyway, not, 42 thonkgs after the sun passed the big tree.

lordy16 posted that New South Wales and Victoria have had the end of daylight savings postponed by one week. Queensland doesn't even have daylight savings at all.

This morning, the clock on my computer automatically moved back one hour, as it would when daylight savings finishes. However, daylight savings in Victoria/New South Wales in Australia doesnt finish until the 2nd of April this year, as it was extended because of the Commonwealth Games. Obviously Microsoft didnt put this information into their time servers, and it was automatically changed.

So if anyone noticed their clocks moved back an hour, and you are in Victoria or New South Wales, it's not the end of daylight savings, so just move it forward an hour again :tongue:



I heard now in Victoria that you have to set your clock back one hour on the 4th of april now. I dont know if that is true or not. Well anyway my computers time hasn't changed.
