When loading a save game its date is displayed in mm/dd/yyyy format.
As the United States is the only country exclusively using this date format
1 it's a bug when it is used outside of the US.
Perhaps the date format could be changed one of the following:
- Use an unambiguous format, such as spelling out the month (Oct 1 2018 or 1 Oct 2018) or yyyy/mm/dd (2018/10/01)
- Query the system for the current user's date format and honour that on all platforms
1 United States, Micronesia (a US associated state), and the Marshall Islands (geographically part of Micronesia)
As someone from the US, I fully support a move to the yyyy/mm/dd format.
I started using this at my business a while back mostly because the sorting on computers is so much more useful.
