for people having trouble with this: make sure you complete your desired bounties while offline, collect them and put them in your supply locker. then, completely close the game application and reconnect to the internet. shouldn't have any problems.
@@StateofDecayScience dude I learn a lot from you man honestly I’m not super book smart when it comes to this game I can just fight my way out of most situations but when it comes to knowledge your the man hands down dude keep up the great work
It’s not that new. Some games like Fallout 4 react the same way. I can set my console to December 24 and the game will think it’s that day and change the settlements to a festive theme
it still works as of August 18th 2023. Make sure when you do this to ALWAYS save and quit your game, close the application, then you can go online and keep your items.
I am a little bit scared of doing this because of that fact so like would I lose my progress for my communities or something if I were to do this? I need help.
Just be aware as soon as you re connect it will divert back to the correct month and you'll have to re do the bounties. Not a big deal because they are fun. Just a pain in the ass to keep track of what community has what once it does happen
can confirm if you've done the bounties you can just go back and buy them again, I never had to redo any of the bounties, did this yesteday, today is 7/26/2022
Something to note. Unless you have your xbox to your home xbox, or you actually bought the game itself, people with game pass won’t be able to do this. Going offline and and changing the settings won’t be able to connect you to game pass
the only things that i’m missing are the scarecrow mask and another mask that was a free gift if u logged in during a certain time period, so will i be able get those rewards if i change my date and time?
How do you make sure the weapons stay in your supply lockdr after you're done? I just did a few bounties, closed the game and went back online, and i didn't have any of the guns I earned
Took a bit of messing about on PC to get it to work...I had to put the Xbox app into offline game mode in profile>settings>general then It tells you to start the game in online mode for it to qualify for offline play....once that worked I could then unplug network cable and adjust date and the bounty came available. I'm messing about with Brian's crafting challenge so wanted the Improvised Weapon Bench from Trumbull pack....got it. Cheers RvidD you da man!
How cano I reset the Bounty? I I recently started anothet game on steam and It have the Xbox game pass Bounty done! Só obviusly now i have to buy the armor and cara from Bounty instead do get It from completing the Bounty, like the First time...
Does this still work I kinda have bounties for a pack that I dont see anymore. Got 3 trifecta bounties but I dont see the pack but even when I went back to september the pack wasnt there
@@StateofDecayScience Yeah got every other pack except the trifecta pack and I need that one to get rid of the bounties but they won't give it to me even tho it says that pack is suppose to be available from september to december

Excuse me, I don't know if you can help me with a problem that I have in the game, what happens is that I have a community on the Providence Ridge map, and in this, no matter how time goes by, I don't get random missions, kind of survivors with needs, mysterious transmission and those kinds of missions, and the truth is I don't know why, it happened to me on the Cascade Hills map too, and I still haven't solved it, I have a community on the desert map and there I just Those missions go out, but not in my other communities, I hope they can help me
@@StateofDecayScience I understand, but the detail is that the communities where missions do not appear, I just created them, I do not know if it is a bug in the game or a problem with the console, since I changed from the Xbox One S to the S Series, and I find it strange 😥
Literally, I leave the game there, and time goes by, and only enclave missions appear, the kind you know when you start the map, and none of survivors with needs or mysterious transmission, the weird thing is that it didn't happen to me before
Also from my experience, new missions will not arrive when we leave the game idling. If this is not the cause of your problem, I too have no clue about what's going on. Better start another community.
@@JorgeGonzalez-lc8de it also depends on how long you been on same map. Are you 50+ days. After being on a map for so long only missions that will pop up are just simple enclave missions. You need to reset your map or move to a new one. Some missions also only happen with fewer enclave s on the map,hearts being on the map and how full your community is.
@@StateofDecayScience I tried to do it while just exiting the game, but it only worked when I fully closed down the game. It did not work for me while the game was running. That’s a golden tip dude thanks for the video,
If you missed out on a month and your like to get the pack, is a great idea. And since is your game, you play it the way you like to play it, and so does others.
Game does not have saving system This video is just another confirm to it Character position is not saved Vehicle position is not saved The trunk of the car is not saved Resources are not saved NPCs are removed from the base NPC position is not saved The developers do nothing with the game, the last "bugfix" is a laughing stock The game is dead.
Uh what are you talking about? Nothing you even said makes sense. Do you maybe want to try again, and type something that non-autistic people can understand?
@@ricardosithole7208 yes, if we look at the "content" side of the game, we can say it's alive, but if we look at the "bugfix" side, we can't say so it's my experience, but every time I'm playing, after 15-140 mins I'm rage quittimg, because I'm seeing some disgusting bugs ruining my save every time

Hey, how did you done it? Like, step by step.
This could potentially have an unwanted side effect when it comes to your cloud saves. It may get confused.
No issues at all with your cloud save.

? i did not have to. i kept all of the weapons that i got from the bounties.

Can this also be done to set the weekend in hopes of acquiring the Mysterious Trader?
I think so
Yeah I'm also doing that method since update 24.1 ,and finally found the same logic player 😁
Thank you so much 🍻

I was in september, did the trick, got the cricket bat from october, connected to internet again, it kept in my inventory
wow, this is very useful actually. I always had to use mod to access items that had been removed from the game.
Funciona para aquelas roupas que tinham que logar em um certo dia ?Does it work for those clothes that had to log in on a certain day?

For me, it only works by being offline. I didn't have to set my xbox profile to offline
@@StateofDecayScience I tried that but it just wouldn't start the game at all for me. Still worked though eventually!
Hey I was just looking for a tutorial on how to do this for pc, where do I go to adjust the date? I have the game on steam
@@ksachi. windows settings -> time & language, then toggle off the "Set time automatically" and then change to whatever date you want
@@chemolowks okay so it would work if I changed it through windows time instead of xbox's time?
Does this affect the game pass?
Brilliant 👏
Anyway to get event items you missed, like the Halloween items?
Don't know!
No, i tried
Does this also work for the items that need you to log in during a specific time? Like the Scarecrow Mask?
Don't know. Try that
did it work?
@@k403sachi it doesn't work

I think you cannot reset it.
Can you also do this to get rare traders while playing on a weekday?
I guess so
Can you do a tutorial on how to do it on pc
does it work on pc/ does it also work with the outfits
yes!
very nice bro
Can we buy wizard van using this?
But if you’re not connected to internet you can’t access the game how can Ii do it properly?
You can play offline!
@@StateofDecayScience IF you own the game, something you probably forgot to mention
If I missed free items when login in specific times (like the free items we get on September-November 2022) can this also work?
With all the updates recently, does this still work? Thanks.
It will work
Wonder if this will work on Steam Deck?
You can only do this 5 or 6 times so I suggest doing it all at once, then not again for awhile.
And why's that
@@NativeOfTheLand97 they might be talking about setting the xbox as a home xbox? not sure
The old switch a roo lol I use this to play new games earlier before they come out
Well played
Es septiembre el mes que estaba buscando gracias wey
Do you have to have an internet connection?
That's not what I said!!!
@@StateofDecayScience that’s why I asked do you have to be online
Keep the year as 2022 just change the month this still works on v 29.2 on Xbox

Console players say, they can change the date. Google search shows it can be done. Try that.
Gracias!!! 😁
This worked for me yesterday and now it doesn't I need help
Turned off wifi? or only set Steam to offline?
does it work on Pc
Yesss thank the lord!
Anyone know how to do this on Xbox consoles I’ve tried but it says this game needs to be connected to the internet.
Don't know about Xbox. Check some YT tutorials for how to change the console date!
I think you have to have offline mode enabled through xbox account as well?..., all I got when I first did this was the inability to track achievement progress to the bounty so it was kind of useless in my case?

If you have too many enclaves in your map, get rid of few of them. The enclaves limit is 15. If you reach 15, no new missions will arrive.

Let’s keep this secret
Of course ;)
Do you have to go offline or can you stay online
Does this work for unlocking clothing that I missed out on?
If they are in the bounty, it will work

Can you get achievements Doing This ?
Achievements will only work while online
holy! don’t let developers see this

This still work ?

Can still do it?
Yes. You can
Or you can just get a mod that allows you to access all of them whenever you go to the bounty guy
It doesn’t work on Xbox you need to be online to play state of decay 2
Xbox players in this comment section have made it work. Try again
Have you got it to work ? I can’t get it to work either
