Got same issue, found no informations anywhere, even sent a ticket to my host to see if they have any information about it

[Atnas666 6]

you need to set it in the correct format like so                   2018/06/07/08/01   works for me

[ut marsian 2]

I got it work with

serverTime="2018/07/01/07/45";

With my older server time from 2015/.... it didn't. Maybe try to update your time value.

[marcheur 5]

serverTime="2015/6/15/06/20";

not working.

so I did accelerate time to get day time, then lowered acceleration VERY strongly, so it's basically same time every minute of gameplay. Until this issue is solved.

how did you do that can you please share

[BeaverProductions 441]

Having the same issue.

 

Have tried all sorts of options to sort the time.  Would love a solution.  The serverTimePersistent variable doesnt seem to work anymore, not sure about acceletrated time

1. Open Mpmissions - dayzOffline.chernarusplus - init.c
2. At the beginning of the file add:

#include "$CurrentDir:\\mpmissions\\dayzOffline.chernarusplus\\Correct_InGame_time.c"

And after the line

weather.SetWindFunctionParams(0, 0, 0);

adding:

GetGame().GetCallQueue(CALL_CATEGORY_GAMEPLAY).CallLater(Correct_InGame_time, 1000, true);

3. Create a file manually with the name " Correct_InGame_time. c" and fill it with the following text:

static void Correct_InGame_time()
{
	private int year, month, day, hour, minute;
	GetGame().GetWorld().GetDate( year, month, day, hour, minute );
	
	if ((hour < 7) || (hour >= 20))
	{
		if (hour < 7)
		{
			GetGame().GetWorld().SetDate(year, month, day, 7, 3);
		}
		if (hour >= 20)
		{
			GetGame().GetWorld().SetDate(year, month, (day + 1), 7, 3);
		}
	}
}

4. Set up the file as we need As we can see, from 7 am to 8 pm in-game time

 

thanks to 123new

Seems to be working. Thanks!

This works fine for me:

Quote

serverTime="2018/7/27/06/00";    
serverTimeAcceleration=6;
serverTimePersistent=0;

Server starts at 6am. Four hours later, when it restarts, I've gone through a full 24 hour period.

It looks like it changed the time in-game, but which file do we edit to set the actual time? Or is there a way to make it so it's just always daytime?

[marcheur 5]

that little script exactly does that : to skip night. When it's 8PM, server sets itself to next day at 7AM, so its always day time

[mrwolv 46]

so do we need to remove the time bits  from serverdz  and enable the script beacuase if we run the script and the code below at the same time nothing will happen

serverTime="2018/7/7/8/00";      
serverTimeAcceleration=0;       
serverTimePersistent=0;

This is the the config i use time works perfectly for me

[mrwolv 46]

dosent work for me time wont change with the script from 123 how can i set my server time to always day in the files

[Karl Pearson 0]

I'm still at night most of the time on my server, I have it set to 12 hour reboots and the server.cfg file looks like this:-

maxPlayers = 20;
verifySignatures = 2;
forceSameBuild = 1;
disableVoN = 0;
vonCodecQuality = 7;
disable3rdPerson = 0;
disableCrosshair = 0;
serverTime = "2018/6/12/06/00";
serverTimeAcceleration = 0;
serverTimePersistent = 0;
guaranteedUpdates = 1;
loginQueueConcurrentPlayers = 5;
loginQueueMaxPlayers = 500;
instanceId = 1;
lootHistory = 1;

Just about everytime I login it's night. 

[mrwolv 46]

It seems like persistence is on for time even though I have it disabled. I cleared persistence and my server time was correct at first reboot then it seems to just keep going after restarts.

It'll be fixed in the next day or two hopefully.

fingers crossed but they seem to be focused on xbone atm

[Emazeg 4]

I simply added    GetGame().GetWorld().SetDate(2018, 6, 12, 7, 3); in the init.c file immediately after the weather settings and it seems to be working so far.  I tried all the other fixes and they worked for a few restarts then the server was dark again.   This keeps the server at a set time until the Dev's fix the issue.

Thx, can confirm this works. Also tried the other solutions, but didn't work in my case.
