Just started playing X3TC again after a few months off - noticed that all my save files listed in the "Continue" menu are suddenly displaying as US format instead of UK format.
e.g. 20-Aug-16 displayed as 08/20/16 instead of 20/08/16
Have just installed 3.2d patch and this makes no difference.
Any ideas?
X3TC - Save Files Dates switched from UK to US format...

My saves show US date format in-game too (both for Steam and UK DVD versions), but then I thought that they always have done.
Same for X3AP including no-Steam modded games.
Of course if you look directly at the save files using a Windows screen then they will display their date of origin in whatever format you set up in Windows.
I vaguely recall that this might be because, although they had different publishers, the US DVD version could play pretty much with the same feel in the UK but not necessarily the other way round.

You may be right, it was 05-Dec last year when I last played, and I as surprised to see the game reporting 12-May-15 which did not tally with my logbook entry.
Since then, the only major disturbance was that I had to restore my machine from a system image because of Windows 10 failing to work on my hardware (looks like a graphics card problem)...
Here is a novel idea, maybe EGOSOFT should sort out the regionalisation so it matches the systems one.
