According to the server rules you aren't allowed to ban on public servers. That being the case, there are MANY servers out there that actively ban people, I imagine some justified and some not. How is it that they are able to ban? I ask because I have had multiple DayZ servers that I have rented in the past and I know there wasn't even an option. Are these people somehow modding the server? Main reason for asking is I joined a random server I have never played on before last night and I killed a couple guys then got kicked and banned. Now, I will admit one of the kills was complete BS. The guy was desyncing and clipping through a building for about 20 seconds so I shot at him and ended up killing him. My guess would be he thought I shot him through a wall so expected I was a hacker. Fair enough assumption, would be my first guess also. I guess the Brazilian clan that ran the server took that assumption, no big deal as I will just play on other servers but that still leaves the question as to how they were able to ban.

As everyone is probably aware by now, persistence is forced on for all server. That along with the new loot system being implemented I have changed the server from 2 hour restarts to 5 hour restarts. We will adjust the times as needed, but restarts no longer affect loot :(

I had them check the affinity and they said everything was set properly, they also said they re-ran the "query script". I am still experiencing the issue but have been keeping them updated. I got another reply from them this morning, this is what they said: "This is most likely related to a player with a corrupt inventory joining your server, essentially causing it to crash, If you could supply us with time stamps we could check your BEC logs at those times to verify this theory, else I'd recommend attempting to re-install the server." I have sent them the time stamps and look forward to their reply, I will update when I get a response.

Encountered a guy last night on my server who was using global voice comms in game stating he was the admin. Started telling people to log off because the server was about to be restarted. He was clearly messing with people because he mentioned increasing loot on the server. Now I know he wasn't the admin because I am and was logged in as such. I found out who he was and kicked him, has anyone else experienced this? Is it some sort or glitch or hack?

Hey guys, I figured it was time I made a server page since the server is becoming more popular. The server is hosted by Fragnet and located in Chicago IP - 108.174.62.178:2402 Steam Group - Professor Presto's Playground Mumble Info is located on the Steam group page The server is scheduled to restart every 2 hours with multiple warnings before the restart When the server comes back up the start time is 13:00 We try to go for a lot of good PVP on the server and encourage group play. The PVP hot spots seem to be Elektro, Kamyshovo, and Berezino. The server has active admins who are on every day to deal with minor issues such as server crashes. We also try to keep an eye out for any hackers, feel free to report any hackers to the Steam group page or here directly. Hackers cannot be prevented but we do our best to kick and report any that we have evidence on. We look forward to seeing you and your friends/crew, enjoy your time at the playground! Feel free to add us to your favorites!

Thanks for the info, I have noticed it happening more when the server is full also. It seems to have been freezing up for me more frequently lately though, which is strange. It seems like since the most recent patch it has been a lot worse. It would do it periodically before, but it must be happening at least once a day now. I will continue to keep Fragnet updated and hopefully they can figure out what is causing it.

Hey guys, just wanted to check with any other server admins out there and see if they have experienced any issues. I am the admin of a public server that is hosted through Fragnet, it seems like multiple times a day the server just hangs up or freezes. When this happens there is no waiting it out, I have to manually restart the server. I issued a ticket to Fragnet and they finally did an update to the server yesterday by adding an additional CPU to it. I thought maybe that was the problem, but it still locked up last night and I had to restart it. Has anyone else had any similar issues and if you have were you able to fix it? Any advice/help would be appreciated, thanks guys! Server name is Professor Presto's Playground As a side note, it seems to happen a lot in the midst of some PVP when either one or a few geared people are killed. Not sure if that is just coincidence or if it is somehow related.
