I'm on CachyOS (a system based on Arch Linux) running the exact same version of both (Obsidian v1.9.12 and Full Calendar 0.10.7)
I added a .ics remote calendar that my school provided: I live in France, and it's 2 hours off (events which are supposed to occur at 9AM are shown at 7AM).

same here (Arch linux), all events are 2 hours off

So this plugin seems a bit dead....

If you want something that has timezone support (to prevent the calendars to be multiple hours off) - and that is still alive :
YouFoundJK made a fork of this plugin and added that feature on it ! (as well as many others)

The upgrade is also seamless : I just replaced the main.js, manifest.json and styles.css that are in the plugin files by the ones that are on the release page of the fork (without erasing data.json) - and it just worked - thus fixing this issue 👍

thanks @theMimolet !! the YouFoundJK plugin is working great here. it also allows a pretty decent and simple Google Calendar integration - something I thought was impossible! I just hope the developer isn't into stealing data, because the plugin isn't in the official Obsidian plugins so I can't really know if it's 100% secure! lol

I am in Berlin time zone (UTC+01:00) and can also confirm that events from ICS calendar are 1 hour off in my time zone.
