Fire Emblem Engage PSA

Just a heads-up to anybody out there playing Engage and changing the internal clock to scum out more Skirmishes.

I have no idea what I did, how I did it, or how to fix it; but somehow I seem to have borked the game’s clock to the point that Skirmishes no longer spawn on their own. They don’t even spawn if I make minor changes to my Switch’s clock. I have to manually set my clock three years ahead before Skirmishes start spawning again.

It’s nothing super game-breaking - it’s not even super critical - but it’s annoying as all Hell. From what I understand, it doesn’t even really affect Maddening (apparently, Skirmishes don’t spawn on Maddening at all); but I’m just putting this out there for anybody time-scumming. Time-scum carefully.

I found the same thing on Reddit, but no solutions the last time I checked.

Everybody says this but I’m playing on maddening and I’ve had some skirmishes appear. To be fair a pop up appeared saying that they were available since chapter 11 onwards and so far only 3 have spawn since I started playing and I’m currently on chapter 23 so yeah, few of them, but they do spawn

UPDATE:

No idea what happened, but my game unborked itself today. Shit just started spawning normally and I didn’t do a thing.

I think I heard about an update 1.1, so maybe that knocked whatever was askew back into place.
