    My saved games are totally messed up. They have random timestamps.
    One I've played for hours and hours will say it's only 3 hours in the Shade Lord's temple (well it's his now), while another one I'm in the de'Arnise Hold that I have only played a little will say 2 days & 5 hours???
    Same game, same characters. Is it because of the tweaks mod? That's the only one I'm using.
    How is it possible that I've only played part of the game long after another part but I've some how played it less? Doesn't make sense. Yes same chapter as well.
    All of my games are messed up like this :confused:

    time displayed under the saves is the ingame time that has passed.
    i'm also playing bg2:ee with the bg2 tweaks mod, but my timestamps seem to be doing fine, no idea what is causing this for you.
    did you edit the savegames with a save game editor ?

    I know the time stamp is in game time not real world time :)
    Yes I've messed with EE keeper. That must be it I guess.

    Pretty much the only thing i can think of yeah, i don't recall any of the components of the bg2 tweak pack changing anything about the way game time is handled.

    i'd suggest making any edits to your characters with eekeeper on a throwaway save, then exporting those edited characters and re-import them to a fresh game.

    alternatively you could uninstall bg2 tweaks, then re-install it component by component, testing if any of it causes the error again, though that might be a bit time consuming.
