Night or Day?

Recommended Posts

Okay, I'm frustrated looking for info on this so apologies if the answer is everywhere.

How do I tell if a server will be night or day? At first I thought what was wrong was I was always logging in at night (IRL), and for an hour it would be night, so tried back during the day and okay, it's daytime. Then I leave the server for about five minutes (at 3pm IRL) come back and it's pitch black. What's going on here? If time in game does not correlate with server time IRL, how does this work?

Where ever the server is hosted, is what time the server will be running on.

look up DayZCommander.com It's a server browser/updater which has filters to let you choose night or day servers. It's quite good.

The game syncs ingame time to the server time at boot. Desync can cause time to go "slow" and will be corrected on server reboot.

Easiest way is probably by looking at the UTC+/-X part in the server name and match it to your own timezone.

Night time starts in game at about 20.30
