Server restarts
What happens when the server restarts: warnings on the radio, no new missions in the last minutes, and everything saved.
The server restarts twice a day, at 06:00 and 18:00 UTC, and sometimes for an update. Your progress is always saved first: your character, gear, car, base, storage and the step you're on in a mission.
- Everyone is warned on the Haven radio and on screen 30, 15, 10, 5, 2 and 1 minutes before. In the last 5 minutes a small countdown sits at the top of the screen.
- In the last 10 minutes nobody hands out new work: quests, faction contracts, trader runs and Blackzone flights all say not now. Anything you already started carries on.
- If people are in the middle of a story scene, a mission step, a siege, a boss fight or a fast drive, the restart waits for a quiet moment, up to 20 minutes.
- At the end the screen fades out, you're disconnected with the time the server will be back (usually 3 minutes), and you can join again then.
When the warnings start, finish what you're doing, get off the road and find somewhere safe. The restarts are also posted in #server-restarts on our Discord.
