Seems like the "rain" is disconnected from the "overcast". You'll often see light rain or even downpour during a clear sky. Also you'll hear thunder sometimes. I feel like it's raining half of the time I'm playing. Played on Community server.
I haven't noticed this issue in Chernarus.
I've also seen this on couple of streams ( Smoke, SourSweet, and few other people )
Hello WeirdXone.
Does this occur approximately 15 minutes after restart by any chance?
Does this happen shortly after reconnecting to the server?
It would be helpful, if you could provide the cfgWeather.xml from the server
Do other players on the server observe the same issue?
@Geez Sorry I can't provide the cfgWeather.xml.
I was playing on DayOne Livonia server. Honestly this might be DayOne Livonia server specific issue/setting since I was watching Smoke's stream on twitch today, and he didn't have a single cloud in the sky during his like 6 hours playthrough. The same was when I played, and it wasn't related to first 15 minutes after restart. It was happening constantly throughout 3-4 hours of my playtime there. And since I was playing solo I wasn't able to ask anyone else if they're having the same issue... I didn't have the time to test other servers or official.
Since I won't be able to check it out for few more days, unless you guys can reproduce the issue, it might be best to close the ticket for now ( if nobody else reported it ).
sry...
@WeirdXone I think DayOne just had some weather persistence weirdness when going from vanilla weather --> cfgweather.xml. This was done to make it always sunny (which DayOne often does with Livonia), but we could sit there in Community Online Tools and watch the rain value increase despite overcast was pegged at 0. We even set the reset flag in cfgweather.xml to '1', and we were stable to observe the same issue.
Not sure if that's a bug with cfgweather.xml, but it did seem to eventually resolve itself over the course of several restart cycles.
