Does not matter what time I set server to, it switches to Daytime!

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I rented a server from HFB Servers the other day and have gotten it setup fine, no mods and its up to 1.8 and current beta version. I can change the date and time to whatever I want and it seems to work when I first login to the server. If I set it midnight UTC its midnight, no problems. I have changed these settings alot and on initial login they seem to work perfectly. But regardless of the settings after about 5mins of play suddenly my whole screen goes full bright white cant see anything, and when it fades its daytime, literally. The time on my ingame watch will go from whatever time I have set to about 1-2pm in the afternoon. 

It seems to me that someone was using the server before me and had a program that after a few minutes regardless of server settings, it just switches your client time to 2pm or so. If someone else is on with me this change happens at the same time for both of us and both our watches switch to the new time. Odd thing is if I log out and log back in its suddenly set to the time I am trying to set it to and its night again, while its still daytime for my friends. Somewhere something is wrong here.

I want a normal day/night cycle, set to a static day of the year with a full moon thats all, and actually its one of the main reasons I am renting this server, anyone else had this problem?>

 

*UPDATE*

Well I have found this in the HFBchernarusPrivate\arma2oaserver.RPT log:

 

9:09:38 "Time and date: [2013,8,3,0,0]"
9:10:35 "CLEANUP:TOTAL 190 LOOT BAGS"
9:11:33 "TIME SYNC: Local Time set to [2012,6,6,14,45]"
9:11:35 "CLEANUP:TOTAL 190 LOOT BAGS"
9:11:42 "DEBUG FPS : 50.4732"
9:12:35 "CLEANUP:TOTAL 194 LOOT BAGS"
9:13:35 "CLEANUP:TOTAL 194 LOOT BAGS"
9:14:35 "CLEANUP:TOTAL 239 LOOT BAGS"
9:14:35 "CLEANUP: DELETED 11 LOOT BAGS"
9:14:43 "DEBUG FPS : 50"
9:15:35 "CLEANUP:TOTAL 228 LOOT BAGS"
9:16:33 "TIME SYNC: Local Time set to [2012,6,6,14,50]"
9:16:35 "CLEANUP:TOTAL 228 LOOT BAGS"

9:19:35 "CLEANUP:TOTAL 333 LOOT BAGS"
9:20:35 "CLEANUP:TOTAL 333 LOOT BAGS"
9:20:45 "DEBUG FPS : 49.6894"
9:21:33 "TIME SYNC: Local Time set to [2012,6,6,14,55]"
9:21:35 "CLEANUP:TOTAL 332 LOOT BAGS"
9:22:35 "CLEANUP:TOTAL 333 LOOT BAGS"
9:23:36 "CLEANUP:TOTAL 333 LOOT BAGS"
9:23:46 "DEBUG FPS : 49.5356"
9:24:36 "CLEANUP:TOTAL 333 LOOT BAGS"
9:25:36 "CLEANUP:TOTAL 333 LOOT BAGS"
9:26:34 "TIME SYNC: Local Time set to [2012,6,6,14,0]"

 

You Can see when I first login the day is set to 8-3-13, but a few minute later it does a time sync, and continues to do time syncs. The config file for time has been set every which way, and currently set all to static day and time and still, this happens. How do I stop this syncing?\

This is a private hive so should not sync to local like a Public?
