How to Change the Time Acceleration Speed on Your DayZ Server

Both day and night time duration in DayZ can be increased or decreased to make them longer or shorter.

  1.  Log into your control panel and Stop your server
  2. Navigate to Files Config Files.
  3. Open DayZ Server Configuration.
  4. If you wish to change the overall time duration, locate Time Acceleration and edit this to your preferred time.
      • The numerical value you set is a multiplier of the default time. The value options range from 0-24.
  5. If you wish to change the night time duration, locate Night Time Acceleration and edit this to your preffered time.
      • The number value you set is a multiplier of the default night time. The options can range from 0.1-64, and is multipled by the Time Acceleration value.
  6. Click Save and Restart your server.

 

Here is an example to help you better understand the acceleration values:

Setting Time Acceleration to 12 would mena that time would process 12 times faster than the default, resulting in an entire day passing in 2 hours rather than 24.

Setting Night Time Acceleration to 3, whilst Time Accleration is set to 2, would mean that night time would move six times (3 * 2) faster than normal. Resulting in night time passing 4 hours rather than 24.

Additional Changes you can make to your DayZ server could be changing the loot tables, information on how to do this can be found here.
