I couldn't disagree more. While there are some out there that just want to shoot, I would say there are a lot of us out there looking for interaction, and working together. My buddies and I offer rides when we have vehicles, food, fire, whatever. We had one night where 7 complete strangers somehow bumped into one another, no joke, in the middle of elektro. We ended up setting up a fire and sitting around talking. One shared his pumpkin garden to feed us all. It was so rare we all posed for photos.

All I want to know is when will I be able to walk and eat/drink, or do so while a passenger in a vehicle. Passengers should be able to mend, eat, drink, warm up, etc. while in a vehicle.

So glad the Dev's idea of what DayZ should be is the same as mine. The only real concern I have is how long does it take to find that balance of surviving vs. constant desperation. I enjoy the thought of having to stock food and supplies due to scarcity but at what level of scarcity does the game still remain tough, but fun...

That's the problem with Vilayer. They are unresponsive. Heaven forbid you have a problem on a Friday, you won't get any service until some time on Monday. That's ridiculous.

I just cancelled my Vilayer server. I'm done with those yahoo's. My server has had more issues than I care to type out here, but the general response from Vilayer is "oops, sorry about that.". I'm looking for a new GSP, and I think it's going to be Fragnet. Anyone know if public server hosts have access to logs on Fragnet?

Anyone else having problems with their Vilayer server? Mine appears to be in a constant reboot loop.

I ended up having to restore my persistent server from an 8 hour old back up to bring it back online. A complete bummer for anyone that had found any cool stuff during that time. Vilayers response was lacking as usual. They blamed it on an issue with branding, which of course was not the case. My server has the Vilayer tag and is under the 64 character requirement. Honestly, I've only used them for a couple of months and I'm losing my patience. On busy nights I can't even access the ACPlayer interface, the new logs are spotty at best, their customer service is horribly slow, and just all around I'm not impressed. I would really like to change but not sure I want to deal with the hassle. VanValdenburg, have you been happy with Fragnet? Do they allow DaRT access for public servers? I'm thinking I may switch before I waste any more time building up a persistent camp.

I would love to know too. This will determine on whether or not I turn persistence on for my public server. With the new patch, loot is no longer a consideration since the loot spawn seems to have the same issues that persistence has. Tons of food, little of everything else.

Logs are up on ACPlayer for Vilayer now. Under services/log viewer.

This is going to sound like a total noob question, but how did you know where to find all 5 trucks in such a short amount of time. Did you have team members spread out at all the different spawn points prior to server reboot? 2nd, I've found the trucks to be quite slow and un-driveable, particularly if you have to go through any hilly regions. Am I doing something wrong, or do you guys experience that too but just push on through? I've actually had people on foot out pacing me in a truck...

I look forward to the persistence fixes. I have held off from switching my server to persistence because you just can't survive when you can't locate food, or items. Some consistency with loot on the persistent servers would go a long way in convincing me to switch my server over. -Jarhead POG's

I keep trying to use the #Say -1 command from the ACPlayer web interface with Vilayer, but nobody seems to see the messages I send. Does this command not work? Do any commands work from the ACPlayer Rcon interface? It's so difficult to determine what information on these forums pertain to the Mod, and which to Standalone. I wish there were separate forums.

Thanks guys, it seems like that is definitely the case. Not sure why they even bother to have an Rcon interface for public servers. It does allow kicks, but it seems like that's about it. Next problem is on to getting my scheduler working. Thanks again for the confirmation.

I just recently launched a new SA server and I'm very new to this process. While playing on another host's server, the admin was able to voice chat to the whole server. How did he do that, is it legal, and is any third party product needed for that?

Thanks for the info. I'm not a jabber-er, but I know sometimes people miss chat messages. I like to give a heads up before doing an unscheduled restart. I don't do it often, but I've been doing some testing. Particularly with the scheduler. Still can't get that working.

Evverything I've read says that there are no Rcon clients that work with the DayZ Standalone servers. I tried to use DaRT V2 and it won't connect.
