Private server here - I fresh spawned in Cherno earlier today.
Found the 'normal' loot situation to be on the low side but bearable.
After not so long I was energised/hydrated/healthy with a loaded Mosin and backpack, supplies etc.
However Pavlovo milbase, Zeleno milbase and on to Vybor milbase had no weapons whatsoever. The server has been very quiet all day (numbers came back immediately after patch but now have died). The only things worth picking up from all three sites was a plate carrier and a single SVD mag (which was invisible as it appeared to spawn under the floor in the 'new' barrack building at Zeleno).
Another friend on same server was at NWAF as I was travelling from Zeleno to Vybor and he found nothing of use in all of the airfield/tents but did find ruined gear that had been left behind from previous gunfights.

Hi,
Thanks - I have had a ticket in with Fragnet since 01/07 about this but unfortunately they are useless. They just suggested waiting for the next patch or their old favourite - reinstall the server.
Although the testing we did earlier suggested that the above 'rule' were working it seems like it has a mind of it's own right now.
We tried to set a 4x period of 4 real hours (so 16hr in-game period) but it didn't work (we set 5x).
It is currently set to 3x in their control panel - the current session has been up for ~106mins and the in game time is currently 10:14 which is 194mins since the 0700 ingame start time - so as you can see it isn't 2x or 3x or anything really!

Ok I've checked and at least on Fragnet server the config is broken as follows:
Set 3x in control panel - get 2x time in game
Set 4x in control panel - get 3x time in game
Set 5x in control panel - get 4x time in game

Is this you guys or Fragnet?
