A lot of us that run servers through 3rd party providers get updates automatically. My server was updated to .2 whilst I was tucked up in bed and so I had to change the name this morning when I spotted it. With such quick updates, hosts are playing catch up all the time. Anyway, there is a solution to your woes; use six launcher. It allows you to see the server list before joining and when you click on a server it gives you the option to view the ACTUAL versions of OA and Dayz and automatically upgrade / downgrade to the correct version prior to joining. It even allows you to run through steam with the overlay!

On a 40 or 50 slot server there are people leaving / joining all the time. I never have trouble connecting to my server that stays full all through the daylight hours. I host the server because I love Rockets mod and I want to support the DayZ community all whilst making sure I have a stable, up to date home server for my clan. I'm hosting with Vilayer.com and its ~£30 for 50 slots, which is almost a third cheaper than hosting a battlefield 3 server. Our server runs at 20% cpu and ram, and never saturates its bandwidth. EDIT: Battlefield 3 servers only just got VIP slots this month, and that game came out last year!

You need to edit this file: "cfgdayz\Users\cfgDayz\cfgdayz.ArmA2OAProfile" If its set to regular, then just edit the regular section to your liking. Turn off the server first. I don't know how legal this is in the devs eyes, so I just set my server to veteran and deal with the 1SP only setting.

There is UK13 by Team Delta Pigs, which was created around 2 weeks before the second one hosted by the 51st. The 51st need to change there number to avoid confusions.

I have set the motd on my server to advise players that DCing during firefights will result in a ban. Its utterly the worst kind of grief for players and i wont tolerate it.

Can you have a gander at my server. Hasnt worked since the move.

So far not impressed with the new servers in holland. Very slow connecting and fails to load the game every time. "this server is running the incorrect version of the server side application" or some such message. Also higher ping.

This is my server and I've spoken to those guys in game! Never even guessed!

I host a bf3 server. It gets hackers on it all the time. Its easy to tell them because all the players are so close to each other and the kill feed is pretty obvious. In arma is more difficult as an admin because you cant see whats happening. Eventually we will need tools like procon for battlefield BC that shows player / vehicle positions and loadouts so we can spot people hacking. I just hope that the devs dont have to spend all their newfound cashflow on antihack tools and spend more on fixing bugs in arma 2 and making arma 3 awesomer.

+1 for vilayer.

I have a server from vilayer as well. AFAIK they have plenty of stock so you wont have to wait for whitelisting etc but are getting lots of orders on top of trying to solve numerous issues surrounding dayz (lag, security issues etc). FYI there was an 80 person queue on their live chat last night so stick with it. I got my server from them before this whole server lag, security issue came up and it took around 5 hours to get set up properly.

Most likely this means that you don't have the mission file set up correctly. Or there is a problem with the arma settings file. 1. Check the MP missions folder, there should be a .pbo file with a number in the name. That's your server ID code. If there's no number, you need to wait for your host to set it up. 2. Check the logs for errors. These are in the cfgdayz folder. They are RPT files. Download it and scroll to the bottom of the text file. Might be some useful errors.

I was on a voip call (I could here the live chats beeping constantly in the background!) with Lee from Vilayer last night and I can testify that he was doing his best to get all our servers running smoothly again, even offering to help the devs out with the hive server.
