Time of day does not progress and is not changeable?

[Oonahse]

Anyone else have constant day time? Since the start of the game the sun has not moved an inch and I'm in constant daytime. I know it's something many would consider a dream scenario 😋, but I'm missing the different times of day. I can't set it in Photo mode, and I can't change it on the little box in the shelters. It just says "Unavailable".

A reddit blog post mentions that a solution is to "go to Stemmer in the desert and ask him to change the “ornament” to a different holiday theme". But I have not progressed that far in the game yet and would love to find a solution earlier.

Restarted game and have no previous save file to revert to, since it's been broken since the beginning.

Anyone have any ideas? Or at least anyone else have the same problem? I get the feeling it's a rare issue.

Progress the story. There are a few points where the time of day is locked.

Time of day is fixed until you attend to Embassy, since events here are supposed to happen in single day (thus Aloy is in rush). After you leave Daunt, day-night cycle will kick in, and you will also have stools available in shelters that you can use to skip time.

Are you in on active mission that forces day time? If I am afraid you got a bug report it so they'll at least know of it

I am now in a new area of the game and I had my first night and day in game.
This happened in near of the first bandit camp. Maybe it has to do with the region where are you staying.

You have to finish the "tutorial" and progress the story past "Embassy" (as mentioned twice already in here).
After that the game open up and "everything" is available
