Forums Bug Reports odd Daylight Savings Time bug..

I noticed this tonight when Daylight Savings kicked in at 2am (jumped from 1:59am to 3:00am).

mIRC (6.12) doesn't seem to want to believe the time that Windows is telling it.
For instance, the time is currently 5:22am according to the Windows clock, however if I type a message in mIRC, it shows up as 4:22am. I can change this by changing the Windows clock.
However, changing the Windows clock to a time prior to DST kicking in results in a 'correct' timestamp being shown, but if I change the time to (say) 2:23am, mIRC will display a 1:23am timestamp. If I change the Windows time to 1:23, then mIRC will display a 1:23am timestamp.



Something weird is happening here - I haven't tried restarting yet though.

DST is tonight i believe, not last night >:P

Forgot to mention I'm running Windows XP Pro (no SP1), not that I think it makes much difference

Aren;t u 12 behind, not aheead?

Adelaide (South Australia) is GMT +9:30

New Hampshire is somewhere between GMT -5 and GMT -8

At this precise moment in time in Adelaide, it is 6:08 on the morning of Sunday the 26th of October.

Nope. Australia is GMT+9,10,11

I've got the same problem. I'm in Sydney.

Same in New Zealand.

mirc timestamp went 1 hour back at 2 am..
but timesaving is at 3 am, now the windows clock is on 2:50 and the timestamp on 1:50

The windows time is 2:03.
OS: Windows ME

wooot now the real timesavings past its the same as windowsclock again... so the timestamp time saving was 1 hour to early on amsterdam(gmt +1) timezone:)

daylight savings time started 3 weeks ago for me on the 5th october, at 2am, and all changed perfectly, but today, sunday 26th I wake to find mirc says it is one hour earlier than all other clocks in my house and computer say........... this is going to make my time stamping very inconvenient in my logs ... I am one unhappy camper!!!!!

Reported here as well, AEST. Currently 3:27pm, timestamp reports 2:27pm. Someone in #mIRC said "It'll fix itself", but it hasn't yet.

answers like that put my back up, it's like saying its not important , and that we are making an issue over nothing

Hello im in Australia and this bug is now driving me f#%^ insane !

Please fix it khaled.

AEST here, winXP adjusted the clock as expected but timestamp is the same. Seems like a pretty simple bug to me.

Got the same problem here...
Have rebooted PC, checked time in BIOS to make sure it's correct, reloaded mIRC and still it's 1hr behind the windows clock.

I HAVE to ask... what POSSIBLE reason would mIRC need it's own region information or any other way of interpretting the time other than by simply using the windows system clock?!!

As far as I can see it's TOTALLY REDUNDANT... Not to mention damn annoying!

Well as a temporary fix, you can turn off the "Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings changes" in the Date/Time properties in the Control Panel and manually adjust your time ... Until there's a proper fix for it at least.

This obviouisly won't work if you run any sort of software that updates your time from a server.

Same in Sweden.
At 2am last night my mIRC clock was changed to 1am.
In Sweden, and most of the rest of Europe, daylight savings starts at 3am, not 2am as mIRC thinks.

well that works, but now Trillian's Timestamps are misbehaving!

weeeeeeird...
