How To choose a time zone

caution

Changing the time zone will affect the timing of automatic restarts.

example

If your current time zone is set to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), scheduling a restart for 6 PM will result in the restart occurring at 6 PM in the UTC time zone. However, if you update your time zone to UTC+2, which is two hours ahead of UTC, the restart will be shifted to 8 PM in UTC.

1. Log in to the game control panel at https://gamecp.hyperlayer.net/, go to My Profile on the top right-hand side.

2. Locate the editable content section and change the time zone setting.

3. Click Save Changes

By following these steps, you can easily schedule actions and tasks for your server, ensuring automated processes and timely restarts based on your desired schedule.
