Closed this issue · 4 comments
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
Describe the bug
the format string used to generate the tooltip for saved game files doesn't seem to be getting parsed fully. it's producing strings like %-I:58 AM on %-d Mar 2024
Steps to Reproduce
- open the game load UI
- hold your cursor over a saved game entry for a few seconds
- observe the resulting tooltip
Expected Behavior
i would assume these tooltips should produce valid date-time strings

I can reproduce it on continuous and not stable. I think 3f890aa broke it
EDIT: I can reproduce it on 3f890aa and not the commit before it, so I’m now positive that that commit broke it.
EDIT: A workaround for now is to change the date/time format to YYYY-MM-DD on the second page of the settings tab in the preferences panel
This is a curious issue.
I'm on Windows 10.
When I build locally with clang, I can't reproduce this.
When I build locally with mingw, I can reproduce it.
Though, not quite the same as what @xX-Dillinger-Xx is seeing:
The continuous release build provided by GitHub is also built with mingw, and I see the issue with that as well.
