Hi Geez,

Thanks for the prompt response. I don't have access to the system time, however the current file has the following headings in it:
AdminLog started on 2022-06-27 at 09:34:22
AdminLog started on 2022-06-27 at 13:54:55
AdminLog started on 2022-06-27 at 20:33:16

In that order. Those time stamps coincide with the server restart events (which were all done manually). Deleting the file does force a new one to be created. But the next restart its still using the same file.'

Also, it is not creating the rolled over copy of the ADM file (for example DayZServer_x64_2022_06_27_210044858.ADM) as it normally would after a restart.

Thank you.

Hello ZRaider.
All of these AdminLogs were created on the same day, which will not make it create a new file. Only when new day is detected a new .ADM file is going to be created.

Geez

When it's working "normally", it creates a new DayZServer_x64.ADM each time the server is restarted. I just now restarted the server manually and it created a new file. The previous file is named: DayZServer_x64_2022_06_28_224130454.ADM and contains the heading: AdminLog started on 2022-06-28 at 10:19:28

After restart (on the same day) I have a new file named DayZServer_x64.ADM which contains the heading AdminLog started on 2022-06-28 at 22:41:30

As you can see they both were created on the same day. This is how it behaves 95% of the time. As for which behavior is correct, that I don't know. The reason I'm trying to find out why it behaves differently is that I'm working on a script to parse the events. This is a minor inconvenience but I would like to know how it is "supposed" to work so that I can design accordingly.

Thanks again!

Hello ZRaider.
Can you please send us your server setup and modlist (if you are using any mods)?

serverTime="SystemTime"; Initial in-game time of the server. "SystemTime" means the local time of the machine. Another possibility is to set the time to some value in "YYYY/MM/DD/HH/MM" format, f.e. "2015/4/8/17/23" .
serverTimeAcceleration=8; Accelerated Time (value 0-24) This is a time multiplier for in-game time. In this case, the time would move 24 times faster than normal, so an entire day would pass in one hour.
serverNightTimeAcceleration=5; Accelerated Nigh Time - The numerical value being a multiplier (0.1-64) and also multiplied by serverTimeAcceleration value. Thus, in case it is set to 4 and serverTimeAcceleration is set to 2, night time would move 8 times faster than normal. An entire night would pass in 3 hours.
