December 31 1969?

[bigboy944]

When i go on a DLC it says "Added 12/31/1969" Is there a bug with steam or is it me?

[Joseph Stalin]

Said it for me too.

[bigboy944]

You know why?

[bigboy944]

I think its because theres a date and time bug for DLCs. which it'll say Dec 31, 1969 or Jan 1, 1970

[bigboy944]

Everyone add me.

[TastyToast]

doesnt seem like a bug. are you saying you didnt purchase the dlc in 1969?

[bigboy944]

Yes i dident but why it say 1969 year?

[TastyToast]

you must have bought it in 1969 and just forgotten about it.

[bigboy944]

Check out your OS install date in the sustem info section of the client.

UNIX timestamp are integer values. When it is instead either empty or contains a value of zero, it will default to the starting date. The epoch date (12-31-1969) is equal to that zero value. So your date for that DLC is simply missing or zero.

If the Unix timestamp is null or invaldid, it returns one of those 1970 or 1969 dates. I think due how games are added, some DLC pieces didn't have the information that describes when/how the game is added to your client. If that information is missing, you usually see messages like that.

Not sure how/why it happens, it's either client side (you bought it before those features were added), or serverside.

Guys it's telling us that Lord Gaben began his secret projects in 12/31/1969. He laid the groundwork in a secret soviet base and began construction of the greatest web systems in the history of time and space. ALL HEIL LORD GABEN.
