Server Restarts

From Dawn of the Dead Wiki

Scheduled server restarts

Daily scheduled restarts keep the server running smoothly and intact by refreshing the world state.

Before one occurs an announcement will be made in-game 10, 5 and 3 minutes beforehand. Please log out before the restart to avoid rollback or losing vehicles and items.

🕒 Daily restart times (GMT)

  • 03:00
  • 09:00

To see this in your local time check # knowledge-archive > Scheduled Server Restarts on Discord.

Restarts for mod updates

When a workshop mod gets updated, the server keeps running the version it booted with until it restarts. This prevents players from joining who have the latest mod update.

Staff have no control over when a mod updates.

The server checks the Workshop every 10 minutes. If an update lands within ~13 minutes of a scheduled restart it waits for it, rather than restarting the server twice.

As with scheduled restarts an in-game countdown begins, warning at 10, 5 and 3 minutes.

How long until the server is back up?

It's usually only down a couple of minutes. If you'd like to be notified when the server is back up, you can gain the Server Pings role.
