The reason NOBODY from Türkiye can connect to the game

General

It’s because the devs forgot to add the turkish time format into the game.

Turks do not use 01/10/2026. They use 01.10.2026 which had never been a problem before this patch. Devs, please fix this; because literally NOBODY from entire world that has Turkish time settings in their windows can launch the game due to this (.) and (/) difference. Please note that changing “Only” the time format fixes this which leads me to believe that this is a formatting problem and not a time zone problem.

edit: typo and clarification.

I know this is the problem because VPN did not solve it : changing the time and date settings did fix it.

Genuinely curious (& not doubting you), but how does that stop the game from working?

game gets stuck on loading screen. there was another game that had the same issue so i thought that might’ve been it. turns out chosing “English(EUROPE)” was the only solution to get past the infinite loading screen when you launch the game

edit: it could’ve been anything else as long as it is not a dot (.)

how did you change time and date settings ? my windows options doesn’t have any change from “.” to “/” or any other way. some people are saying changing windows’s language to EN(US) works but i have single language edition i can’t change it

Is there any solve for this?

You need to set your Windows language to English and your region to the USA.

Changing time region to USA solved the problem. Thank you

It wouldn’t be because of a formatting difference (. vs /), that isn’t how datetime info is communicated between clients and servers. It absolutely might be a missing or incorrect time zone code for Turkish, with the server not knowing how to handle an exception on the lookup. Changing the time settings is still the correct workaround, just FYI that it’s not due to . and /

assumptions helps very little, i did not change my timezone: i changed my time format. this is not the only game with this problem.

you’re welcome to think whatever you want but this isn’t how computers work

Thank you for teaching an IT specialist about computers, I’m not trying to argue with you, I’m trying to find a solution for the players that have still not solved the problem.

you’re welcome from a software developer

edit: just logged in with turkish date time format in windows. The servers seem in general clunky tonight and I had it hang a few times on english datetime too. That’s why I’m saying it conceptually doesn’t make sense, because formatted dates and times do not get transmitted across packets or OS api calls. Formatting is a transformation of existing data that is passed around in a common format.
