Is it possible to turn off the sun/shadow mechanic?

[anicKin]

Yes, i know it's vampires and sht.

Just want to play without this time waste.

I feel ya but I don't think so. Try and time what you want to do with the night/day cycle.

Why is it a time waste? You can still play in the sunlight, it just changes where you can stand.

it’s simply annoying

There are options to reduce the daytime to as low as 1 hour in the server settings when making one.

Tweaking the server's day/night cycle is your best bet.
Do beware that some environmental factors change during the day.

I don't know how you see it as annoying.. but yes, you dial sun damage down to 0.
I've literally never had a problem with sun damage in any way, shape, and or form. Even in V Blood fights that are outside.. like how are you gonna handle holy damage?

The guy in this game controls like ass. Getting stuck on fences, trees rocks, baddies, or any of the countless things that can stop movement completely. The sun gets you when the vampires boot seems to snag on anything at all, the sun isn't the issue it's the movement IMO.

They've already flipped the day/night cycle backwards. The amount of daytime they show should actually be night. Nighttime doesn't take up 2/3rds of a 24 hour day. But it does in this game. That's a playability thing, because waiting around for 2/3rds of the day for night to fall would be pretty boring.

There's a lot you can do during day. I travel to places during the day, so that as soon as night falls I can start farming tougher areas. And it's not impossible to fight during the day... The first time I killed tristan the vampire hunter, it was during the day.

You can also make it perma night too. Just need to get into the file settings for the game and change the timeframes, then turn off sun damage if you feel like it.
Find your save files, ServerGameSettings.json
DayStartHour 0
DayEndHour 0
Save. Done.

that depends on how far away from the equator you are, and what season it is. there are places that people live, here on the real earth, that only get an hour or so of the sun being above the horizon, during the winter.

There are places that people live, that gets no sun during the winter.

There are places that people live, that gets no sun during the winter.

most of those places, there's only two days where the sun truly never rises or sets (depending on winter/ summer.) only 4 million people worldwide live in this zone, which we call the arctic circle. there's not actually a lot of land in the arctic so far north where the sun doesnt rise/ set the entire month of the solstice. so very few people actually live there. and of course, no one really lives on antartica.

By default, saved game files are here: (for PC)

C:/
Users/
(Whatever your computer login user name is)/
AppData/ (may be hidden file, properties>show hidden files)
LocalLow/
StunlockStudios/
VRising/
Settings/
Saves/
v1/
(some buncha hexadecimal 123abc stuff)/

Open "ServerGameSettings" with notepad, and look for the following segment (it should be about half-way down)

"GameTimeModifiers": {
"DayDurationInSeconds": 3600.0,
"DayStartHour": 13,
"DayEndHour": 14

Notes:
The in-game clock is a 24 hour system
Day Duration <- can be any non-zero real number that you want, the number is in seconds of time
Day Start Hour <- on the in-game clock, which hour starts daylight
Day End Hour <- on the in-game clock, which hour starts night

For day-length reference:
1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds
30 minutes = 1800 seconds
15 minutes = 900 seconds
10 minutes = 600 seconds

Yes, i live in a country that spans into the arctic circle.
