This really has been answered repeatedly by the Devs. Helicopters cause uncontrollable lag. It is a problem that BI has to fix in a beta patch. Use the search function and I guarantee that you'll be able to find it (either Anders or Viper was talking about it, and I'm pretty sure it was Anders)

It seems like there is some confusion of issues here. Some people are saying that, as of 1.7.2, the HIVE does not update in real time, and that not logging out before restarting the server will lose your process. I think this is incorrect: the HIVE, especially last night, was having serious connection problems. I do not think that any change has happened on the back end. See, e.g., the ghillie suit bugs. Maybe the servers were dicks, maybe not, but it seems to me that you just had an unfortunate run-in with a laggy HIVE. My server, US 188, restarted last night without any apparent problems.

Devs have casually mentioned a few times that there are behind-the-scenes discussions about making it a server setting, but who knows if that will ever happen.

There is no way to prevent them from coming back. We have tents from a month ago that continue to respawn.... It is possible that, with recent changes to the HIVE, tents that are not touched for more than 7 days will permanetly despawn, but I don't think there has been enough time yet to test this.

I absolutely agree!

Ooo where was this?

Yeah, that's what I read.

Server hosts can still append the local name to the server name, e.g., US188/NY84

This is not a server side setting, but a setting that has to be enabled in the mission file (aka Rocket has to enable it in DayZ). If I'm wrong, please correct me, but I run US 188 and tinkering with the server settings did not fix this.

That's not true. Go into first person mode and try looking at the corners of the A. You'll get into it.

Ah, but they will respawn on server restart.

Did they at least fix the backpack duping bug in 1.7.2?

Yes, there are problems, so you may want to stick to 1.7.1.5 until they're addressed.

Why don't you just post what the server was called, and maybe someone can help you by giving you what the name is now?

Also, I have been told that some hackers can force others' clients to run the scripts, so banning those people might be a waste.

Interestingly, his forum status has now changed so he is no longer purple.

I use Vilayer. They have datacenters on the East coast, in Texas, and the West Coast. My server, US 188, appear to be in Philadelphia (based on the IP). Anyway, I've had nothing but positive interactions with them. We pay around $48 a month for a 50 slot server.

Yes, I would like to echo that, also.

There's a thread in the general forum also reporting that all of the UAZ military offroads are gone. :-(

How long does it take vehicles to respawn?

I couldn't agree more!

I think we already had a thread like this :-) http://dayzmod.com/f...d.php?tid=22078 Oh nevermind. Old links no longer work on the new forum. Ignore me!

As a real life vegan (and I am only a mere real life vegetarian), I cannot believe that you don't subsist on beans and pasta alone!

Well said!

You could also try JStillJr@student.dwc.edu or lee.netarus on Skype I've been trying to catch them all day to no avail. Edit: Someone on Teamspeak ("Ben") told me that he e-mailed Johnny who said customer service would be available again tomorrow morning around 9 EST (more precisely: 12 hours from when Ben e-mailed him). So I guess just wait another night!
