Summary	0005784: Sudden day/night changes when transitioning to new area
Description	I'm not sure what's causing this, but intermittently when moving from one area to another while outdoors, right before the screen fades the time of day will suddenly shift forwards. If it's day, it will go to dusk, if dusk, night, and if night, daybreak. And this may be related or may not: it seems like if I pause for a while to tab out and do something, then come back in and unpause, if the moon or sun are rising they will fast forward up into the sky. I assume some of this is related to time still passing while the game is paused, but it does look a little odd. Maybe the sky should just not pause at all?
