Quoting: ripper

DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20151015
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20151016

This shows as a single full-date event on 20151015.

I finally realized that we were doing a wrong thing the whole time. If we use  DTSTART:20150102T000000Z, we're asking the calendar to show an event which starts exactly at UTC midnight and lasts 24 hours. And that's exactly what it did, I'm central European (UTC+2), so I saw an event from 2 AM to 2 AM next day. It did exactly what was asked. But a full day event is something else than a 24 hour event with precise start and end time. A full day event starts and ends at midnight no matter your timezone. And that's what the second syntax is for: DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20151015.

So yeah, it makes perfect sense, we just need to start using the second syntax.

Quoting: liamdaweFreaking timezones, added the Z modifier, give it a bit to update and then it should finally be normal for everyone.

Sorry, I still see it across two days. I also added the ics URL into Evolution and it also displays it across two days. What fixes the problem for me, though, is this syntax:

DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20151015
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20151016

This shows as a single full-date event on 20151015.

It is the same syntax we use in a different project exporting .ics files, so I have verified that this renders correctly in both Google Calendar and Evolution.

Thanks, I now see "(Best Guess)" after Magicka 2, perfect. But I still see two-day events, damn google. I tried deleting and re-adding again, nothing.

Could you please try to add "Z" (denoting UTC timezone) into DTSTART and DTEND? You already use it in LAST-MODIFIED:

DTSTART:20150102T000000
DTEND:20150103T000000
LAST-MODIFIED:20151013T000000Z

In what timezone you live/you have set your google calendar, since you see it correctly?

Regarding the web calendar, it would be great to add "<" and ">" buttons to select previous/next month. It's a bit tiresome to select the next month in the drop-down list and click "Change" every time.

Would it be possible to add "(best guess)" text after the event name into to .ics file as well, similarly to the website? So e.g. "GOL > Magicka 2" would be "GOL > Magicka 2 (best guess)". Because from the website it's pretty visible what is a certain release and what is just a guess, but from the ics file you can't tell and need to check the website anyway.

Quoting: liamdaweAs I posted there months ago it should have been fixed, and no one said anything so I assumed it was. Checking now I see it isn't, will look into it further.

Edit: This should now be sorted.
Edit 2: Okay, now it's really sorted, and covers a whole day on my google calendar for each item.

I missed your reply in the linked thread, otherwise I'd responded. Thanks for looking into this again.

Unfortunately I don't see it fixed. Each event is now a full day event from 2:00 AM to 2:00 AM the next day, so each event spans two days now. See this:

However, if I download the .ics file and import it into google calendar manually, it renders correctly (each event as a single full-day event). I'm very confused why that is. Maybe I just need to wait until Google refreshes the ics URL? (I tried to refresh manually, even re-add, didn't help).

It would be great to fix the .ics file and start showing the events as full-day events. They show up as one-hour events for me 2:00-3:00 AM (that's related to my timezone). This happens both in Google Calendar and Evolution. I provided suggestions how to fix this here:

Quoting: liamdaweIt's actually in the tags on the homepage, and in articles themselves. However, this is a repeating request as people seem to miss it, so I have given the Early Access tag a unique colour to make it stand out as I agree it's one of the more important ones to highlight.

I haven't noticed the tag before, now it's better visible, thank you. I wonder, could this particular tag be displayed in the article headline (at the end) as well? When coming from an RSS reader, I skip the front page, so the first time I see the tag is at the end of the article.

This type of games are usually called "tug of war", as far as I know. Looks interesting.

If possible, please always mention early access titles in the article title or early in the description. There are quite a few people who avoid any early access games and it's a bit frustrating to learn about it only after reading the whole article and then looking at the steam page. Thank you!
