You have to have 2 separate CD keys 1 per computer. Otherwise, the server will kick you as it sees this as a duplicate client, I have had up to 3 players with the same ip on my server with no conflicts.

Wow, get it from the server hosts directory. If you don't know how to get access to it instructions can be provided by your host or by going to support.dayzmod.com and logging in and viewing your server. P.s. that update was many weeks ago.

Why would yo need a chat log? Text chat is logged to the file you named above. It is in your "\ArmA 2\Server Profile" Name folder.

Install this. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851

As apposed to DayZ Commander Six Updater/Launcher is useful beyond DayZ. It's a valuable program to any ArmA player, if it's not working then you will be at a very annoying disadvantage when setting up mods.

Since you nearly capitalized your title correctly I will help you. Try re-installing six updater, when prompted if you want to keep configuration files click no. After re-installing if you get the same pop-up please tell us what it says.

if it disappeared that means it blew up, it should come back after a server restart.

Holy hell it's [email protected] try again...

So let me get this straight, hackers know your rcon password and actively use it to steal guids? Secure your A2 config directory already!!!! also change your damn rcon password if this is a common issue, make it more secure as well. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?121438-How-to-secure-Your-server-Read-here!

don't use checkfiles[]={ instead use verifySignatures = 2; and regularCheck = "";

Shut up, you know nothing about battleye or how the game/server takes commands. Until you have some knowledge of why it's so easy to exploit and cheat in ArmA 2 refrain from voicing your opinion. It's not battleye's fault, it's ArmA's fault, granted that this game was never made to be persistent. It's a mil sim, anyone that plays it or bought it for ArmA 2/sim aspect is most likely mature enough to enjoy their purchase without cheating. People that don't work for what they want, can't handle the challenge or want to troll are simply here because its a persistent and extremely popular mod.

bump, its been happening for a while now.

CONTACT BATTLEYE.

Get better recording/streaming software.

That's the only way I could see this happening.

If you own the server use the latest scripts.txt from the server hosts file repository. If you don't own the server and you are getting kicked find somewhere else to play/test. Do NOT open the dedicated server control panel

You cannot charge for people to play on your server as you do not own the application or with hold rights to monetize the free A2Server. You will never be able to lock players out or allow them in by guid.

I pre-ordered ArmA 2 CO and would pre-order DayZ given the option. Personally, I bought it for ACE and would love to see some sort of bundle deal i.e. save 10 percent if purchasing DayZ and ArmA 3 together. Just a thought.

And I don't get any, even though I answered your question... meh.

You won't be able to keep it. It will despawn after server restart.

Virtual box is a hypervisor type 2 which means that it has to run ontop of a host operating system, which uses ram and processing power, which creates a small amount of overhead. On the other hand VMware ESXi/VSphere as well as other are type 1 hypervisors which means it does not have any overhead and is able to directly access all resources and components. Not to mention, having setup both, that virtual box is pretty slow compared to type 1 hypervisors, like VSphere/ESXI; and have a slightly increased latency and decreased network efficiency because, in my set up at least, the network adapter is shared between guest and host OS i.e. one port for the 2 machines. On the matter of server stability, I have only had 1 or 2 crashes (1 yesterday) in the month the server has been up 24/7. Obviously this is normal running betas, running the stable version the server has never crashed once in over a month. Also, I'm fairly sure that the A2 OA server is native to linux, and compiled on linux as well, at least for the newer versions; IDK completely as I don't host on linux since ArmA 2 OA server is not compatible with DayZ (which may change soon). As for bandwith I don't know your limit, which would be the only problem, so you should contact your IT or someone that would know if it's limited. The traffic is simply generated due to the way DayZ, and ArmA 2, allow reporting of data back to the server. I'm not sure what exactly the issue is but I know that it has been greatly improved recently, the only thing that can help is more DayZ updates. CPU utilization shouldn't be a problem, you can lock ArmA 2 to use only a certain number of cores using -exthreads http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma2:_Startup_Parameters#exThreads The default is -exthreads=7 for a quad core cpu, recommended is -exthreads=1 for more than one server. Alternatively you can lock the process to certain cores by setting CPU affinity in task manager.

ADMINS CANNOT SPAWN ANYTHING, why can't anyone seem to get this through their thick skulls... by design/purpose this thread will contain misleading info on servers.

There are ethics in a game?

you will generally need at least 5-6Mbps upstream bandwidth for a 50 player server, if you can't handle sustained amount of high data transfer you may not be able to host a smooth, reliable server. The ArmA 2 server is actually very stable, you are using beta builds so obviously, as with ANY program, will be more unstable. I have no idea where you got this impression. ArmA 2 will use a different amount of CPU depending on which CPU you have, mainly it's speed and the way it handles data. More efficient, newer, processor will have lower cpu usage. The DayZ server I manage is on a virtual machine, well virtualized machine, we use a vmware product which allows low-level access to all the instances of operating systems. There is a free, similar, version of the product we use called vmware sphere. Please note when installing such software you will only have terminal access to the physical machine, you will essentially only be able to remotely access the machine if you want to enter an OS. Virtual box is generally a decent option for hosting servers, but there are much better solution that offer higher performance and reliability.
