Area(s) with this issue?

This bug is specific to multiplayer

Describe the issue

Sometimes a save will not properly report it's months to the master server causing the master server to automatically purge it from the list.

Even when resetting the date using cheats does not fix the issue.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Create a multiplayer server with save https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/691735032531779684/1268234971064176691/Afflictionland2.park?ex=66abaf5b&is=66aa5ddb&hm=1b439785f923a3db9d457f93f2a431d99cb152bd47ac2dbbc0d5c7f95f0c71bd&

  2. Note https://servers.openrct2.io/ is showing that new server but does NOT show a count for the "Months" column

  3. Wait 1-5 minutes and the master server will automatically purge the server because it is not properly reporting the months

Research direction

Compare the server's reported data with the master server's purge behavior, then verify that valid saves remain listed for more than five minutes.
