Sorry for the delay in response, I'm just trying to get my brother to sit down with me and write out a txt for it. These big time networking specialists don't seem to get a lot of free time.
I'll get back to you on the powershell question. I know there is a specific way to do the directory/shortcut, I just have to get in touch with my brother on that, as I didn't do any of the work here
My brother David created this powershell thing that changes the date to July 15 2012 and then changes it back to the current date when you exit the game. I hope this helps some people who find it super annoying to change the computer date back and forth all the time.

Any chance of having the schedule automatically updated to 2015? I've had zero luck in any mod since 2005 in getting that fixed. Also, just wanted to thank all the awesome people dedicated to still making this game amazing.
