How To Change Playtime on Your ECO Server
Adjusting the playtime schedule on your ECO server ensures that your server runs according to your preferred active hours, helping to optimize performance and gameplay experience. Whether you are managing a private server for friends or a public server with a large community, GGServers makes it easy to customize and control your server’s timetable for maximum convenience.
Step 1: Log Into the GGServers Control Panel
Visit panel.ggservers.com and log in using your GGServers account credentials. Our intuitive control panel is designed to make server management simple, fast, and accessible to all users, regardless of experience level.
Step 2: Stop Your ECO Server
Before making any changes, stop your ECO server from the control panel. Stopping the server prevents potential conflicts and ensures that your new playtime settings are applied correctly.

Step 3: Access Server Settings
From the left-hand navigation menu, click on Server Settings. This section contains all the key server configuration options, including player limits, passwords, server names, and advanced scheduling features.

Step 4: Open the Server Tab
Within the Server Settings section, click the Server tab to access advanced options, including the playtime schedule. This tab gives you full control over how and when your ECO server operates.

Step 5: Find and Edit the Playtime Field
Locate the Playtime box. This field is automatically filled if you created the server in the ECO client and set a timetable (schedule of preferred playtimes). If the field is blank, the best approach is to use the “Set Playtime” feature through the in-game menu (press Esc), then copy and paste the resulting schedule from playtime.eco into this field. This allows you to define exactly when your server should be active or offline, giving you total control over your gaming environment.

Step 6: Save and Restart Your Server
After editing the Playtime field, your changes will save automatically. Simply restart your ECO server to apply the new schedule. Your server will now run according to the playtime timetable you configured, ensuring optimal performance and player availability.
