Game start times changed midseason? Screenshots and sending FTP

First brought up issue here..
https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...d.php?t=334312
With the lack of answer I thought I had simply missed the times being off which is unusual for me and my anal style.

Digging in I found my start times had changed during the season going from the normal start times on May 2 to all ET start times on May 3,2039. In real life the file was normal on Dec 31,2021. Next time I played was Jan 2, 2022 and the games played that day is when the times change. No idea what happened?

Hope screen shots give a good picture of what I'm talking about as it does get a bit confusing.

May 2, 2039 west coast game played in PT and reported on score screen as CT as it's supposed to. IE game at 7pm PT reported on score screen as 9pm CT.

May 3, 2039 all games went to ET starts so west coast game looks like this.
7pm ET, reported as 6pm CT on score screen, and played at 3pm on the west coast. So a 1pm game would start on ET, reported on score screen as 12pm CT, and played at 10am on the west coast.

Yes, this is all cosmetic and I can play through it but...
I'd like to know if I can fix it now.
I can live with it but don't want it happening again if we can find the cause. Also with v23 being worked on finding the cause now would be a good thing.
Anyone else seeing this? Easy to miss unless you play out your games and this anal player did not notice until almost three weeks of games had passed.

Screen shots below. PC version 64 bit.

FTP being sent "Sweed game times broke" along with support ticket being filed.

Tried to enter a support ticket but got the message..

"Unable to process your request"

I did send in a support ticket and Alex said he saw similar start times on his schedule too. But nobody else has commented either way, ie if they are or are not seeing this in their games.

It is pretty distracting and takes away the fun of watching the out of town score board. I mean you're playing on the east coast in the afternoon and you see the Dodger game updates as the game is being played in mid-morning out in LA

As Alex said he would bring in up with the team I was hoping so see something in the last patch but, no luck

If it's a one season anomaly that will sort itself in the offseason, fair enough. As an ongoing issue, while not fatal to the game, it takes away from immersion in a major way.

I did load up my historical game and it too has game start time issues. So it's not limited to one save. Not surprising as Alex said he saw similar in his game.

Hoping for an update on whether my FTP save was looked at? Was
anything was found, or not, if it was?

Thanks.
