This may help you:

The first step was to locate the player information and see how the data was handled. In this applications case, simply searching for the data is not an option as the data is "encoded" in a manner to prevent cheating from happening easily. (More info on this below.) So I took to debugging to attempt to locate some usable information.

The first thing I came across was the string: "FFFFFFFFFFFFFC22"

Immediately this stood out to me as a double value in string/hex form. So converting this back to an actual value gives us: -990.00

Afterward, I debugged the parts of the code that made use of this string which we see here:
Code:

004B7E4B   . 8B4E 7C        MOV ECX,DWORD PTR DS:[ESI+7C]
004B7E4E   . 66:8941 04     MOV WORD PTR DS:[ECX+4],AX
004B7E52   . 8D4D CC        LEA ECX,DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-34]
004B7E55   . E8 4A99F4FF    CALL <JMP.&MSVBVM60.__vbaFreeVar>
004B7E5A   . BA E46A4100    MOV EDX,challeng.00416AE4                         ;  UNICODE "FFFFFFFFFFFFFC22"
004B7E5F   . 8D8E 88000000  LEA ECX,DWORD PTR DS:[ESI+88]
004B7E65   . E8 2299F4FF    CALL <JMP.&MSVBVM60.__vbaStrCopy>
004B7E6A   . BA 0C6B4100    MOV EDX,challeng.00416B0C
004B7E6F   . 8D8E 8C000000  LEA ECX,DWORD PTR DS:[ESI+8C]
004B7E75   . E8 1299F4FF    CALL <JMP.&MSVBVM60.__vbaStrCopy>


From this if we monitor the data, we see that the string is truncated and copied to [ESI+88]. Next, we let the game run and we will see that the value that was stored in ESI+88 is changing as the game plays. Freezing this value freezes the time.
Bingo, we have the time location.
