Scenario start's date issue

Post by kondi754 »

When trying to set the start date of the Kiev 41 scenario, a problem arises
The proper start is 31/8/1941, because of operational situation on the map (mainly because AG South armored units got a bridgehead at Kremenchuk that day and started crossing the Dnieper) but the game changes this date to 30/8/1941
Can anyone help me? I want the battle to start on 31/8 :?

At least the leap years 40 and 44 with Feb 29 work.
We should all go back to elementary school that we haven’t noticed this earlier! :oops:

Is this for real? Never thought it was possible to mess up and break calendric functions on computer systems.
Who knew? I always figured those digital libraries came pre-installed with the Windows package... :D

Will it be corrected ?
I think that this bug is not a priority for the devs because it has little even none impact on the official game (?)

The path to enlightenment only leads through another couple of DLCs and updates. :wink:

However, it matters for editing and modding, especially if someone pays attention to compliance with historical realities
ok, I set the date of the beginning of the battle on 1/9/1941, considering that the bridgehead has already been captured and now begins the attack in the depths of the Soviet operational space...
but I'm not happy about it at all... :?
