Timestamps an hour off?
I know this is a minor issue to most, but I just wanted some clarification. Thanks in advance.

Yesterday, after DST ended, I noticed a few things were off by an hour, most noticeably my achievement timestamps. For example, say I unlocked an achievement at 11:44 AM, shouldn't it now display as 12:44 PM? It still displays as the wrong time.

Is there anyway to fix this? Or is everything going to remain an hour off now?

I'll be honest, I wouldn't expect Valve to fix this.
They should, but they won't.

Yeah, probably not :v so I guess I'm not the only one.

I just found it weird because at first, they did change to the right time. Then they reverted. I know it's not a huge issue, but as someone with slight OCD, it's pretty damn annoying.

They shouldn't change at all.

If you have an alarm set for 8am, it remains at 8am regardless of the timezone you are in. If you unlock something on the 4th November at 8pm, it's 8pm on that date. To change it to say 9pm would be confusing because on the date you unlocked it, it was 8pm, not 9.

I agree. It would be confusing and I'd prefer it to remain the same. But I didn't know if Steam changed timestamps to reflect DST or not. Kinda threw me off is all.

Anyway, thanks for the help.
