Sun up/down times?

Recommended Posts

Hi to whoever is reading this.

I have been playing DayZ for a while now, and recently switced to play on a singe server. But problem is that I dont know what time the sun goes down/up on servers.

Ive been doing a little research, but i cannot find it anywhere! If you know the times, please take your time to tell me with a reply.

Thanks

DayZ has a 24-hour day-cycle. The time of day where the server is, is most likely the time it's in the server itself.

First, keep in mind that a server admin can decide what time it is on a certain server. So a server located in europe could be on for example australian time if the server admin wanted it to be.

From my experience it starts getting dark around 6 to 8 PM server time, depending on weather and sync to the HIVE it seems. Sometimes I'd reboot my server at 7PM and it'll be daytime, then it boots up and its dark out. Sun seems to start rising around 4 to 6 AM server time from my experience. It starts being light around 6 to 8 AM.

Sun come up in the day and goes down at night :P

No J/K...I've noticed that most of the time the sun comes up at 0500-0530 (Server local) till 2015-2045....Remember this is based in the Czech Republic. If you look on a global map or a sunrise and sunset time for let's say, Budapest, it should be close to this time. Now as far a the server itself and figuring out the local time you will need to find a in-game watch (sometimes this is off between players too)

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the quick response, but I already knew that. Well formulated though..

Thanks, this is just the answer i was looking for!
