    any disadvantages if I change the date to a past year?


    Hello, everyone.

    I would like to do the Christmas event in Terraria, which is only available in December. You can simplify this by changing the computer date to the particular reason. Are there any bugs (updates don't work properly anymore, etc) or can I use and change them safely?

    Many thanks in advance.

    :)
