[0.16.11.0] "Day/Night Mode - Plaza" Setting is Broken

The setting for “Day/Night Mode - Plaza” only functions for the amount of time I am connected to the plaza. Upon changing the setting to “Always Night”, disconnecting and returning to any plaza server, the time of day will become dynamic as default. In settings, the setting will still remain “Always Night” despite not being night. This is temporarily fixed by changing the setting to “Always Day” then back to “Always Night.”

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Set the setting to “Always Night” and confirm that the time of day in the Plaza has changed.
  2. Disconnect and reconnect to any Plaza server.
  3. Go outside of Plaza spawn. You will find the time of day does not reflect the “Always Night” setting you have set, you must change it to “Always Day” or “Animated” then back to get what you were looking for.

What I expected to happen

I was expecting that by setting this setting to “Always Night”, I as long as that setting was there the Plaza would always appear as though it were night time. I expected this to be consistent regardless of disconnecting and reconnecting, and I did not expect having to go back into settings to ensure that “Always Night” mode remained on.

What happened

“Always Night” is temporary and requires fiddling with settings upon every reconnect if you wish the Plaza to always stay in night mode.


Notes / Media

New users cannot post attachments, therefore I am unable to share the video of myself recreating this bug from beginning to end. If requested of me, I can supply my recording through any method that would be most convenient.

From what I remember (haven’t played in a while lol), this setting has had a long buggy history for me and other users in US Plazas. Dunno when particularly it started, but I found it being very very finicky and oftentimes either not even working when the setting is saved OR it not giving the option to Save Changed Settings when you only modify the Plaza Time of Day setting. Other times though, it worked perfectly- and I remember that, for a good while, it worked consistently fine. Thinking that was back in 2020. Maybe an update broke it?

Bump, still occurring in 1.0.0.0

that’s how you fix it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It was never fixed btw.

You’re missing the point, why does a player need to find a workaround for a bug?

Condo? Sure. The rest? No.
