Alfie (DayZ)

Admin from UK6 here. Sorry to hear that happened. A few of our community guys have died to hackers doing this now. It is frustrating. Hopefully it doesn't put you off the mod, or our servers. Keep in mind, if you are on our servers and notice low zombie counts, or absolutely no loot then feel free to post on our forums. We'll throw a reboot down if it's needed.

Could this be caused by server keys? Are we only supposed to have dayz as a server key now?

The profiles are set right. It's a copy and paste job. If they weren't set properly the server wouldn't name properly for starters. Everything thing in the BattlEye area seems good as well. I'm not sure what the issue could be. Lets assume the profiles are all set up right, and the config is following with the normal cfgdayz config stuff, what else is there?

// JOINING RULES maxPlayers = 50; // Maximum amount of players. Civilians and watchers, beholder, bystanders and so on also count as player. kickDuplicate = 1; // Each ArmA version has its own ID. If kickDuplicate is set to 1, a player will be kicked when he joins a server where another player with the same ID is playing. verifySignatures = 2; // Verifies .pbos against .bisign files. Valid values 0 (disabled), 1 (prefer v2 sigs but accept v1 too) and 2 (only v2 sigs are allowed). equalModRequired = 0; Copy + Pasted straight from our server.cfg. Those are the same set in the config files we're given as hosters so honestly, i'm at a loss. If my config somewhere is at fault, I'll make whatever changes needed immediately, but I don't see how that's the case.

V2 Signatures are enabled. What "more" are you talking about? What you as DayZ staff provide us as configuration files' date=' I'm using. I don't understand. Why do they only effect us specifically then?

I'm sorry it happened to you Bonnis, but it happened to all the AQ community guys that were playing too. Not the first time it's happened either. Some people seem to get a kick from mass slaying servers. Hopefully the horrible experience hasn't put you off the mod, or our servers.

Dunno if anyone is interested in seeing if they can spot a bad guy in the log I've linked with this post. I just don't physically have the time to look through it at the moment due to work, and even when I do I'm still not 100% sure what I'm looking for. Basically, it's one of the scripts.log from one of our servers where people got mass killed early this morning. Maybe if one of you has 5 minutes to spare you might manage to find another one of these idiots. www.anquer-quare.com/main/uk6_scriptlog.zip p.s. thanks for the extra bans for the list.

Good idea.

Rocket controls who is black listed.... hello? anyone there? I'm assuming that English isn't your native language because it's very clearly underlined that kicking for clan members is not allowed. I mean christ, I'll make it more clear for you. Forum thread title: Kicking of players for Clan members (the subject) It's so clear as sunshine what his saying, but please, twist it how you like. This is true. Yup, you have the right to do whatever the hell you want on your own box under your agreement with your host. I mean, you haven't agreed to a contract with Rocket, But your actions still have consequences. It's up to Rocket who he allows to connect to his database, and who he doesn't. If you want to start breaking the "administrative tips" that Rocket has so kindly provided, you may find yourself unable to use his database, rendering the mod useless.

There is a forum section on this forum for server hosts, and there's a google group. There was no direct announcement about the hive update no, which was an issue for me as I did the same as I was totally unaware. I always stalk the announcements and server sections for information. Luckily when checking the file directory of the link I was sent via email in the past, there was a hive update (though it was labelled to the current version numbers. Would be greatly appreciated if updates like this were mentioned in the server hosts section every time a hive update happens. Though there was no mention about a hive update at all (which isn't good), the staff are usually good at posting an announcement somewhere with info if there's an update (like the change with mission files). The problem they have at the moment is there's still a lot of server hosts that 1. aren't stalking these forums enough and 2. aren't added to the google group/forum section, so the staff are forced to post in the public forums so it gets coverage.

This if they're all hosted by the same person/group.

Interesting. I'm on Win 2008 r2 and haven't experienced anything like this; Only time we got that was when the database seemed to be overloaded, and it tried to connect a few times till eventually it got a connection. Anyway, Glad you got it sorted though. :)

May I ask what Server OS you are running?

For me personally I've been balancing server load this week, so I've been restarting every 4 - 6 hours. I did have an issue this morning which led me to restart the server twice within 10 minutes, but I always give repeated warnings. The other thing to keep in mind is servers sometimes crash which is out of control of the server admin. It happens. Though as far as restarting to change the time constantly makes no sense. Surely if you wanted it to be day 24/7 (which I don't think is allowed, but that's besides the point), you'd think they'd change the time every 12 hours, not every 2 hours.

If you just knock off the dayzserver.zip from the end of the link you were given for downloading the files, you will be given a directory listing. You will find the update there.

This isn't something that is banable. The thing is with TS3 ghosting, you can just ban/get them banned from the TS server you're on, but they're technically doing nothing illegal in game which was clarified by Rocket. This is the risk you take when you stream. Delaying your stream can be a way to slightly counter this.

Download the latest version of the Hive. V0.9.1 is not the latest version, even though it's still part of the download that is sent to hosts. I can only assume that the Devs haven't updated the Dayzserver.zip yet. I mentioned where to find the update in the server hosts section of this board.

The server DL link that was in the mail doesn't have the latest version of the Hive. The latest version of the hive is V0.9.2, whereas the one in that file is V0.9.1. I had the same issue, and there's been no announcement of an update. I don't know what the rules are for posting links here, but there is a link with the updated version on the Google server hosts group, inside the Hive discussion topic. It's the second link given in that topic.

I also need an instance ID and a UK number, so I can stick up another server on the same box I've got one already. Also had no responses by email :P
