When changing system time from PM to AM, the game crashes. This was able to be replicated 6 out of 7 times (including the time it was discovered), and happened 3 times in game, and 4 times on the main menu(The only time it failed to occur was in the main menu). It is important to note that switching the system time from AM to PM dose nothing, and that only the game crashes, not the system.

All tests occurred between 2:30 AM and 3:15 AM (PST)

(Example) Time 2:45 PM, changed to 2:45 AM. Game Crashes.
Time 3:00 AM, changed to 3:00 PM. Game does not crash.

Does your game crash, or does it freeze? I can't reproduce the crash, but it does freeze for me.

All your links give 404.

It freezes. I had not actually thought of the difference when I posted this, so if you are getting it to freeze, you are getting exactly what I got.
Also, let me see if I can fix the links.

Edit: Links Fixed now!

I found the issue but there is not easy fix and it's not such a major problem as far as I can see.

For reference, this is caused by std::this_thread::sleep_for
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1972 ... adjustment
According to a comment "VC++ 2012's implementation of sleep_for does not conform to the standard."

Using a different sleep function might not be a good idea since it can cause a hundred other unforeseen problems on our unreliable main loop.

This one was fixed when y'all went to VC++ 2017, I think. Confirmed broken on 0.12.35 and working on 0.16.22.

Oh man, I completely forgot I found this. Nice to know it actually got solved.
