Survival Day Counter

Recommended Posts

I've noticed that when inside my survival counter stops counting when I'm idle/killing time ;) . It only counts minutes/days when I'm repairing, sleeping, harvesting, etc...

I started a new game after surviving well over 100 days because I thought that maybe with an update my game had gotten corrupted. The new game I started is still doing the same thing.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Platform PC

This happens whenever I am indoors.

I was also running windows 8.1 originally. I am now on windows 7 SP2 and the issue still exists so it doesn't appear to be OS specific.

Hmm interesting! Try this: Left click on the Long Dark, select Properties, click the tab "Local Files" and press "verify integrity of game Cache". If that doesn't fix it please post your debug log.

Hello Melody and thanks for the response. I tried you first suggestion and no luck. I loaded the game, watched the counter from inside and it didn't move, went out side for a few game minutes and the counter started again, then came back inside and it wasn't counting. Here is the debug log....

Awesome! Thank you. I will add that I started another game this time with the difficulty set to Pilgrim and the counter works perfectly indoors and out. On my other games, when the counter would stop indoors, It was set at Voyager difficulty.

EDIT* I read the other post and they may be right. I can't say I really noticed a difference until I had survived for a while.

The clocks are ever so slightly out of sync which builds up after a long time. We are working on a fix!

The clocks being out of sync wasn't added to the new update but the clocks stopping sounds like a different issue. Could you send your "save001" folder to melody@hinterlandgames.com ? For PC it can be found at C:\Users\(Computer Name)\AppData\LocalLow\Hinterland\The Long Dark. The app data folder is hidden by default, so you will either have to unhide it or search in the locallow in the windows app bar.

For MAC its Users/(Computer Name)/Library/Caches/Hinterland/The Long Dark. In this case Library is hidden.

Hey there I got your file. Do you remember what version you started this run of the game/ how long ago you started it?

Hey Melody, I wonder if this issue is resolved? I encountered this very same issue in the latest build, v.257, on PC. I wanted to time myself, walking from the waterfall near the Three Strikes Farmstead to the Rural Crossroads in Pleasant Valley, but I was surprised to see the time when I reached my destination (see the attachment). I just wanted to check out the forum before I report this and I came across this post.
