The time obviously corresponds to GMT, whereas the save on your computer corresponds to your local time. Issue, yes, but I think we can live with that for now. What I find worse is that the saves’ date and time ingame only reload after autosave or after you load a replay…it’s been like this for like 4 years or so, but I worked previously.

Of course there are worse problems than this, but that is not a reason to not fix it, specially when this kind of problems should be the quickest and easiest to solve.

Could not agree more! This should be easily fixable. Last night I noticed this bug, and was like “what?” since it didn’t make sense to have the displayed times for me. Albeit this is not a “serious” issue, it is for certain something that should be addressed.
