Calendar Man help for PC

[sHIKII]

I realize there are some ways to do this achivement but it doesn't seem like i can find a guide that isnt vague or for console as in I have no idea what im supposed to do, I realize to shortcut it is to change dates but I did that and opened the games 12 total times for the dates i put in. nothing has worked so far please help

Not that hard, you need to set your system time to a specific date. It's months IIRC, so you set your system date to say 1/1/18 and then go to the cell where Calander Man is and initiate the conversation, he will tell you a different story for each month of the year,.

[sHIKII]

yeah i did that nothing happened it says you need to go offline on consoles for time changes idk if that means I should do the same for steam or whatever..

You can't do it from the same checkpoint. Reset your clock, enter the Courthouse, do one date and then exit, repeat to completion. It's 2018 now so start from 2017 or earlier and reset dates in sequence. Look up those specific dates online beforehand for annual consistency.

Yup. You have to trigger an autosave. Best way is to exit out the back of the building. Then change system date, then walk back in, talk to him, then repeat.

should i exit out of the game im sorry if i sound stupid its just this is annoying as hell lol

[EbonHawk]

Oh I didn't see you were in a console.. yeah, you may have to for that then. Timing will be key though. I assume it saves in transitions (indoors to outside) like the pc version does. Maybe someone who has it on console can confirm...?

[sHIKII]

oh im not console im pc Its just i meant Should I say (set time to January first 2017 or 2018 whatever one it is, then start launching arkham city, go to courthouse, talk to Julian, leave courthouse, close out of arkham city so im back at my desktop and repeat the process for february and do that 12 times

[EbonHawk]

No, it was a lot "simpler" than that for me.

I think you have to use dates ALL in the SAME year, too. So use 2017, or earlier. Not 2018..

Standing outside the courthouse, I just Alt-tabbed out of the game, turned back my system clock to let's say Jan 1 2017, with AC running in the background, then I went back into the game, entered the courthouse and talked to him. Then, I exited the building and waited for the spinning game-save icon to stop, then Alt-tabbed out of the game and repeated the process for each date... 12 times.

It was just a matter of making sure I was setting the right dates, while I was outside the courthouse, then entering the building and talking to Calendar Man with the date at the correct one.

That way, the game save triggered when I entered the building and the date was set correctly in the game, then talked to him, then exited the courthouse and generated another save, so that I got credit for that date.

[sHIKII]

Ok, I will try that. Thanks!

Just wondering will I get banned for doing this? Will Steam detects this as cheating? Please let me know. Thanks

You're altering your own PC clock, not using a third party achievement manager. Steam is well aware of this game exploit. Do you honestly believe they'd hold a player's time hostage for an entire year? Might not be legal. Back in my GFWL gaming days I looked up achievement hints on the XBox website, and they were the ones to first suggest resetting clocks.

Or...you can set aside an entire year, just remember to remind yourself of upcoming dates. :-)

Yu can only change time backwards. Also you dont need to go out of game, you can stay in, just be sure you left building see save icon and then pause the game and change time, and come back to calandar man, and repeat same procedure.

PS: After I changed time 15x, my computer started to slows down and after a day it was completely freezes, I thought I have some viruses, but at the end I think there were so much updates because of changed time that computer freezed.

yeah what theyre saying above does work, also you'll know if you're doing it right if the calendar in the basement has the months youve done scribbled in with red marker
