[EXP 1.28] Inconsistencies with the<cfgweather.xml>
Acknowledged, NormalPublic

Description

After performing a server wipe, the cfgweather.xml file present at the moment the new server data storage file is generated appears to become permanently cached or locked in. Any subsequent changes to the cfgweather file (including updates or complete replacements) do not seem to take effect.

Reproduction Example:

  1. Enable snow in cfgweather on Chernarus.
  2. Wipe the server.
  3. Modify or replace the cfgweather file to use rain instead.
  4. Restart the server.

Expected Behavior:
The server should apply the updated weather configuration (rain) after restart.

Actual Behavior:
The server continues to use the original (snow) configuration from the moment of the wipe, ignoring any later changes.

Additional Issue:
Post-wipe, weather behavior becomes unstable. Regardless of the defined parameters, values such as overcast, thunder, and fog often ramp up to maximum intensity shortly after the server starts, overriding the configured settings.

Did you try manually remove dynamic. files from the storage?

I have, but weather behavior still acts unpredictable regardless.
I've also noticed that there might be desync between the client and the server's weather controller.

I meant event files I think.

Anyway, now I have been playing with weather file, been cleaning files each time.

Despite doing everything I could to limit rain to minimum, it was constantly raining lol
Literally.
I changed overcast transfer time to like 40min and increased minimum overcast for rain from 60 to 80%, so it should rain less, I also changed maximum overcast shift, to be slightly below needed treshold for rain.... (after 1st overcast change, it should stay like that for 10 minutes [should take 40 to change overcast itself from A<current> to B<desired>]) after that there should be second overcast change AND this one MAYBE would trigger the rain... Gues what.... non of this happened. Constant reports of downpour...
