UK 222 Admin, why is the server time messed up?

Recommended Posts

Not sure if any Admins of UK 222 (hosted by Nebis) browse the forums, but I was wondering why over the past couple of days the time on the server has been different, DayZ Commander states the time as GMT, which it has been for weeks, and I have been using it as my regular server, I have a camp set up and such.

But over the last 2 days, when I have been joining between 7am - 4pm my time and the apparent server time, it has been pitch black.

Just joining now to check, where the server time should be 09:50am, my watch in game says 11:50pm. And it's supposed to be GMT, and it's GMT -10.

Can this be fixed?, or is completely changing the server time a permanent decision?, I need to know if I need to find a new server :/

Also, why were nametags randomly turned on during one of the recent patches over the past week or two?, pretty much cost me my life at the Airfield when my name just flashes up to other people :/, makes a Ghillie suit useless.

Did searches and I couldn't find anything on UK 222, some servers have websites and people associated with them to contact, not this one. It is being regularly updated though, the latest ArmA patches are applied quickly, same with DayZ. (Also, not sure if the forum user nebis is associated, but I sent him a message anyways asking)

It sounds like they've just updated their server. I think they need to adjust the settings server side after an update to remove player tags again ect. If you like using it as a home server I would wait to see if it get's fixed, it can take ages to find a good server.

Well not too long ago the server spent about 3 - 5 days or so offline, broken. And I was just about to find a new server when it suddenly came back online, so I jumped on to save my tents, since then nametags have been turned on, I initially chose the server using the DayZ Commander filter, CH on, 3DP on, Nametags off, it was perfect. And for a good few days it was regularly updating to the latest ArmA patches and it updated to 1.7.2.5 no problem. And worked fine running proper GMT time, I just sort of ignored the whole nametags being on and hoped it wouldn't be a problem, and also hoped it would be turned off again.

It's just the past 2 days where the time has been changed to GMT-10, DayZ Commander still reads GMT since the server name still states that, -10 though is horrible for me as you can imagine. I don't like playing at night, and I don't have NVGs or anything to see in the night, just a flashlight which is dangerous as hell to use at night.

I'll wait to see if this thread gets a response, or if the server changes. Worst case scenario I'll need to find a new home and get some tents set up to transfer my gear over. I'll just risk the use of a flashlight to see, either way one of the servers will be night since I'll be transferring stuff from GMT-10 to GMT.

Thanks for the advice.

Is there a chance that maybe during that 3-5 day downtime, the server was swapped to a new owner? Happens all the time.

I guess so, the server name didn't change though, still hosted by Nebis and still updates with what versions it's running, as well as the time being GMT.

If so, I guess I just hope the time isn't going to be GMT-10 from now on.
