    The local time is taken from your device. So you need to change the time on your computer or playstation.

    No, it's displaying a different time than the one on my computer. I already made the changes to the time on my computer when the switch happened. I'm very familiar with this situation because every online time sync service on the planet gets the Chilean DST changes wrong. Phones, windows, websites, etc. get the wrong time because said services can't be bothered to keep track of DST changes on all regions and whenever the online services mess it up it's on TV news all over the country here. So we're very familiar with online sync services and how unreliable they can be.

    My point is that if even the local time may be different from my system's then the whole situation is even weirder.

    Ok, I think I got it. On my pc changing the time manually doesn't affect the time displayed by the game, but changing the time zone does. It changes the local time and the server time.

    Edit: nvm, it's not matching either the actual clock time nor the time zone. And after trying with different time zones... I don't know how it happened, but at some point it started showing the time 2 hours ahead instead of 1 o_O and it's stuck there. No matter to what different time zones I try, it's not changing. I have no idea what's going on.

    Edit 2: ok, now I got it for real. The local time in-game doesn't update until you restart the game (and it's still based on the time zone you assign, not your actual clock time) but the "server time" changes as soon as you change your time zone, even while the game is running. So much weird stuff going on. Anyway, there's no reason at all for the server time to change if you change your time zone.
