TRS19 - Early Access Is Coming!

Australian time, my time, your time -- What time? A sane approach would be to use UTC/GMT like others do BUT..............
I have no idea when there will be a release but I am just an ignorant customer. CONFUSED???

Is this a debacle or just a bad marketing tactic. Oh well, there is plenty of political corruption for the USAers to feast on in the meantime.
I have a nice new receiver/transmitter coming today so I have lots of other fun stuff to do....

Dear Ignorant & Confused Customer,

I refer you to post #8 in this thread. If, however, you are unable to access something that far back then I have posted the relevant info, from Tony himself, below:-

Times in various locations are:

Brisbane, Australia: Thursday, 23 August 2018 at 6:00:00 am
Moscow, Russia: Wednesday, 22 August 2018 at 11:00:00 pm
Berlin, Germany: Wednesday, 22 August 2018 at 10:00:00 pm
London, UK: Wednesday, 22 August 2018 at 9:00:00 pm
New York, USA: Wednesday, 22 August 2018 at 4:00:00 pm

Yours.
 
I looked at the countdown last night (AEST) and it said 13 hours to go so I was a bit confused. I looked again tonight and it still said 13 hours to go which seemed correct.

Maybe its Groundhog Day.
 
Tony was sold a perpetual clock program unknown to him. Since he failed to use a universal clock such as GMT we will now have confusion about time. Why did another 24 hours get added? Best explanation is that a last minute plea by some poor programmer that convinced N3V to not release and just take heat for a dumb choice of time zones. Watch the dance begin....
 
Think the clock is doing it's own thing as I was a bit puzzled how it went from 1 day to 4 hours in an hour or so.
 
Tony is using his soon clock
Always soon but never quite now
but we are talking about Queensland their always different

I swear yesterday night at 1 a.m. here on the US East Coast, the countdown said 7 hours. Now this morning it says 22 at 8 a.m., which means it's coming out on August 23rd (tomorrow) at 6 a.m. This goes against the August 22nd 4 p.m. release Tony stated in Post #8.

Methinks either someone at N3V messed up their math a whole lot, or something wasn't ready in time.
 
Yeah it does, I saw it too. I was up a midnight and saw 5 hours left and was expecting it to be out this morning. For whatever reason it says 21 hours until release now. I think the clock messed itself up or someone else messed it up which is rather sad. They could still change it as well to make it correct for what he said was going to be the release time today.
 
All adds to the anticipation. On my browser it is saying 16 hours 40 mins to go which will be 06:00 am 23 August UK summertime, which is what my browser is set to.

As 06:00 am 23 August Brisbane Australia is the advised launch time, it would suggest who ever set up the count down clock, has set it to use the browsers clock (Local clock not Brisbane time).

Easy mistake to make, i have done it myself as you tend to only see the time zone that you are in, and it looks OK to you...

Anyway whether there is 7 hours 40 mins to go or, 17hrs 40 mins we shall just have to wait and see.
 
Well....my countdown is showing exactly correct time....as it has always done since they started the countdown.
 
It does really not matter which time zone you are in, or the clock being used. The screen was an independent timer. A launch of a space craft will occur within 10 minutes, as an example. No matter where you are in 10 minutes of your time the fire begins. If you are in Brisbane, London or New York the timer is totally independent. In this case it counted down but there was no launch. As with NASA the clock was reset and another 24 hour period begins. Did Tony have a bad valve - probably not unless he rekindled a Univac-I computer (valve = vacuum tube).

I am going back to SP3..... Zero credibility in the "new" timer.
 
What ever happened to "it will arrive when it arrives, not a moment earlier or later?" From some of the comments one would think something really important was being anticipated. It's a game, something the while away the hours and entertain.

Soon, there will be plenty of new material for the obligate complainers to rummage through and for others to praise as the best thing since ... whatever.

I mean, i don't know why N3V decided to try and make a different clock for each timezone...someone earlier mentioned how NASA has one set clock regardless of region. Clears up a lot of unnecessary confusion.

Don't worry, i'm sure you'll see a few posts of me and some others "complaining" about how TRS2019 isn't a perfect game. :o
 
Well what I want to know is why it was pushed back a whole day. Granted it could be a mess up but I kind of doubt it. To me it is odd he didn't send out a newsletter or put a message on here that explains why it was pushed back. My thing is I really want to know the specific PC specs and of course the price of the game. I don't care if I can't buy it right away. I just want to know those so I can determine if my PC can run it and if I can afford it right now, lol.

It hasn't been pushed back at all. 6AM Thursday 23rd August Brisbane time, has been the time and date of release since early access was announced. Go download World Clock app. Get your wallet ready about 4pm on the 22nd YOUR TIME

Sigh...again, in Post #8, Tony stated that the release of early access for people on the U.S. East Coast would be at 4:00 p.m. on August 22nd. Now, the clock here on said East Coast reads 20 hours and 25 minutes as of 9:35 a.m. That means the true release of Early Access is at 6 a.m. on August 23rd, like you said.

Tony announced the release of Early Access in the Eastern U.S. for 4 p.m. today in an actual forum post, but all of a sudden it's been shifted back to meet with the Australian release window. So yes, it was in fact pushed back, just not where you live.
