Messages.xml not restarting

This is a Nitrado issue, it's happened for the last year. They have no fix or solution; i've reported it numerous times.

yes this is happening to me and i've contacted the support and they said it's something to do with the XML files and the devs are looking into it

i would recommend you, setting the restarts with Automated tasks and using this code:

to display them in-Game

Hi guys,

I have set my server to shutdown via the Messages.xml file but every so often it won’t restart itself. It does it most the time but I’d say atleast once a day, myself or one of the other admins have to manually restart it.

Anyone else had this issue and if so, how they resolved it?

Hi,

Personally, I use the "automated task" and I never have any problems at this level.

my server restarted well after the hours that I put in the automated task.

give it a try, it might solve your problem.

i would recommend you, setting the restarts with Automated tasks and using this code:

Code

1. <message>
2. <deadline>??</deadline>
3. <text>Server Restarts in #tmin minutes.</text>
4. </message>

to display them in-Game

So if I use this, the automated tasks will restart the server and players in the game will still see the messages for the restart?

The Automated tasks is only restarting the server on PS4, and the code is used to display the restart messages, in the in-Game screen.

For example, a server restarts every 120minutes. When you use: <deadline>110</deadline> its perfeclty matched.
