I was wondering if the early access program started at midnight.  Could someone fill me in with the information thanks a lot

    It starts at 17:00 GMT tomorrow.  That is 18:00 BST in the UK and 19:00 in Europe.

    British Summer Time = GMT+1.

    GMT does not equal BST (British Summer Time = Daylight Savings).

    GMT is fixed.  It never moves.  However the UK deviates each summer from it.

    BST = GMT+1.

    During the winter UK uses GMT, and in the summer it uses GMT+1 (aka BST).

    Rule to remember:  Central European Time is ALWAYS 1 hour ahead of the UK, regardless of the time of year.  So if its 18:00 in the UK, its 19:00 CET.

    So, when the clocks in the UK move on 1 hour and thus starts to use BST during the summer instead of GMT, then Europe moves 1 hour on as well (CET + 1). 

    Therefore, as the UK and Europe is using daylight savings, if the game is due to start at 17:00 GMT, then it starts at 18:00 in the UK, and thus starts at 19:00 CET

    Yes but not every PC in the world is using GMT.  Like I said, those PC's in the UK are currently set to GMT+1 (BST) and those in Europe are using CET+1.  Which is the equivalent of GMT+2.

    The point is, bearing in mind that the UK isn't currently using GMT, people possibly are expecting the early access to start at 17:00 UK time tomorrow (BST).  When its actually going to start at 18:00

      It's 1 PM EST cause of daylight savings time. Currently EST is GMT - 4. It is GMT - 5 when it's not daylight savings.
