BTK (DayZ)

No offence, but 50 bucks is waaay too much... You can almost rent a decent dedicated box for that and host 2 or 3 DayZ servers + a ton of other game servers on it... Just a heads up.

My servers didn't crash once with 1.7.1.2 in the last 8 hours.

Not much I can do about it. Sometimes they appear' date=' sometimes they don't. We have scheduled auto restart every 4 hours, so I'm not doing manual restarts very often. Just wait for the next restart and cross your fingers... Thanks! Glad you like it! Yes I think so too. Most people are pretty civilized on the FR servers. :)

I get a lot of complains about this too on my servers. I myself had no problems finding loot, but the Zombie count surely is quite low all the time, compared to 1.5.3 and below. I'm currently performing up to 3 server restarts a day to please the people.

Well, we have crosshair on, so you have nametags when you open up your action menu. Not possible to disable it in conjunction with that unfortunately. But nametags itself are disabled.

FriendlyTag=0; EnemyTag=0; I don't get why people leave that on in a sorta kinda PVP game. You can spot and shot people over 1500m in pitch black, without seeing anything else.

With regular ArmA missions, below 5 FPS is critical, but not so with DayZ. It's designed to run well with just 3 FPS. DayZ is using cluster-computing after all. So don't set your goals too high. Hive and Hive Auth didn't crash once for me. So i didn't bother creating services. I'm just running them as they are. Changing the AI skill won't make a difference, the Zombies are agents, not really AI. Which is a great thing. I don't really have any tips as of yet. I'm still experimenting with my cfgs. Traffic is around 200 GB a day per server. RAM is a joke. CPU is around 10-20% per server. I'm using an Intel Xeon i7 W3520 4x2x2.66+ with HT enabled.

I did not make the Screenshot, I got it straight from the Cheater's HQ. I'm doing reconnaissance there. Know your enemy. Unfortunately, I have to admit, that this group is quite skilled, when it comes to scripting and injecting their crap. They have been around since Operation Flashpoint. There is not much we can do about at the moment. ArmA UID nor BattlEye GUID bans can't stop them. They know how to overcome it. The only way to stop them, permanently, is to get their Keys locked by GameSpy (as rocket is trying). Best defense for server admins, currently, is to keep their BattlEye script detection up-to-date. That's why I'm spying on them. The worst cheats are those that you will not notice. They can see all people on the map, spawn vehicles, weapons, items, you name it. Some of them are eager to ruin the game for everybody else, some are just regular cheaters. It's a very bad situation at the moment. We can just hope that they will loose interest soon. I'm sure they are reading this forums and giggle about it. Hi there.

If you are talking about this It's cheat. I recommend leaving the server immediately, if no admin is around. A well known cheater group is currently very active on DayZ servers. ArmA veterans know who I'm talking about.

We're moving to a new box, they will be back up soon. :)

Yea it's a bit weird. Stupid ArmA with its local time'n'weather. On FR3: When I joined it was around 7pm for me, my buddy had 8:30ish pm (he was on the server for 2 hours before I joined). After 10 minutes or so the time sync kicked in and skipped to 9pm. For all players. Everybody was complaining that it went pitch black suddenly. :D

Hi there, sorry about the lags, i don't know what caused it... I'm restarting all the FR servers at least once a day.

I can confirm this with 1.5.4. Tried it twice today on FR3. Both times the tent was there but it's content was gone after server restart... It was working perfectly fine with 1.5.3

This bothers me as well. The viewDistance is too low since 1.5.3 :( Fog in the morning or during/after rain is OK, but fog on a clear sunny evening just looks wrong.

Gametracker is tracking only server based stats and admins have to claim their servers for that. FR1 http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/176.31.228.126:2333/top_players/ FR2 http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/176.31.228.126:2399/top_players/

That can happen, when the server / network / database is overloaded. Try again later.

Servers are desperately needed, so you're more than welcome to join the network! All you need is Windows. (And good enough hardware of course, should be a quad core) Just send an E-Mail to dayzdevteam[at]gmail.com and they will help you setting it up!

I have to agree on this. It's a bit too fast. I spend about an hour today in the same town (was waiting for a friend there, i was kinda trapped), and there were almost non-stop zombies present.

Player corpses will stay forever. (Just asked Rocket) Unless someone hides the body, of course. I spend nearly an hour today defending the dead body of my friend, in the middle of a village, so he can get his stuff back. :D Edit: I doubt that they will stay after a server restart though.

Bohemia send it to me. I think, it was because I bought Arrowhead on Sprocket. Takistan is on the backside. It's a really great map. Maybe you can contact Bohemia and ask if they still have some? :)

Regroup with friends can be a bit frustrating at times... One time I used all my flares just to get to the regroup point. And I sprinted on the beach all the time. This is usually what we do. We check where we spawned and run along the coast... I'm having this lying next to me to navigate. :D

My server (the FR one) didn't crash so far... But I'm stuck on "Loading..." since 1.4.3 :(

Hi, my name is BTK, and I'm an DayZaholic. :D Some of you may know me as sxp2high on the Bi Forums. I'm the admin of the FR server. Although I'm not French.
