Your system information

  • Steam client version: Current
  • SteamOS version: 3.4.11, 3.5.5
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Opted into SteamOS beta?: No
  • Have you checked for updates in Settings > System?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

This issue has been there since day 1 but it should be fixed as it is an inconsistency.

In gaming mode settings>general where it says something like Eastern Standard Time "Miami, Montreal, New York", if one then goes to desktop mode settings>regional settings>date & time it'll say current time zone is "America/New York (LMT)". But, if one changes that to America/Toronto as an example, it seems fine, but when you return to gaming mode, all of a sudden it's no longer on EST but now Pacific time.

So, changing the timezone in desktop mode from New York to Toronto, does not leave gaming mode's timezone EST as it was before, but changes it to Pacific, which doesn't really make a lot of sense.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Change timezone in desktop mode from one city in EST to another city also in EST.
  2. Go back to gaming mode and view general settings to see if it is now PST instead of EST.
