[0.17.8.0] Plaza is appearing in the daytime even when set to "always night" in game settings

I have my plaza set to “always night” in the game settings, but since the newest update it is appearing as daytime. Another player reported to me that this is happening to them as well.

I’ve found inconsistent ways to temporarily fix this issue until a plaza rejoin. Entering buildings seems to sometimes fix the problem, but it isn’t consistent from building to building. i.e. entering the bowling alley and going back outside didn’t change the plaza from daytime to nighttime, but entering the arcade via the trivia door and going back outside did change the plaza from daytime to nighttime.

What I expected to happen

I shouldn’t have to keep manually overriding this each time I boot up the game and enter a plaza

Toggling to Animated and then back to Always Night temporarily resolves it but it’s not a permanent or elegant solution

Agreed. It’s annoying for sure.

Ironic that the Halloween Event is the only time of year where the plaza is in permanent night time

I think Mac may have missed the point about my observation of how Halloween Plaza is the only time when the Plaza is permanently night time, but if he isn’t going to listen to feedback I’m not going to listen to his defences, simple as

The fact that Halloween Plaza being permanently in night mode shows that a fix is possible and be can be implemented

I’d enquire as to why the same method isn’t being applied for Summer and Winter Plazas

Either fix this or remove the setting from the menu entirely

The issue is the always night/day time setting collides with the overall seasonal lighting settings. When it’s Halloween the setting gets ignored, as we have it setup to make it always nighttime for Halloween. I haven’t been able to tackle the bug because I’ve been busy with some other more major issues, but this is high on my list of priorities.

This issue is also a little involved, there’s a lot of different lighting adjustments and tweaks the game does under different circumstances such as the overall theme, indoor/outdoor, and the user settings. I’m most likely going to have to refactor the system to fix the bug.
