I am noticing several posts about servers having the Loading, waiting for host, server mismatch errors. There are two servers from HFB hosting (Seattle 23, and 24) that are experiencing those issues. There is also the thread about Vilayer LTD having issues. I just purchased the server (Seattle 24) yesterday and it was running fine last night. Naming convention was normal. No special settings at all. Try to play this morning and everyone starts having these issues. EDIT: I am in the process of communicating with the hosting provider but can one of the DayZ dev's comment on this? It sounds like scores of servers were pulled.

Looks like Rocket was able to fix some of the problems.

Convict, if you hear from him ask to check ours as well. (Seattle 23/24) Also, if there is any explanation for what happened or if we were all just collateral damage?

Well this has been going since I woke up (about 6 hours ago). Haven't heard anything from HFB or DayZ dev team. So I doubt this is going to get resolved today. Awesome.

All three of us use HFB : http://www.hfbservers.com/ Are you saying Vilayer and HFB are one in the same?

Nothing yet. Haven't heard back from DayZ people or HFB. (Though I know DayZ people have viewed this thread :) )

Same deal. After the server issues this morning I tried modifying the difficulty. That is about the only thing similar we did. However, the problems were happening before then. I'm curious Epsilon, did you have vehicles spawn in your server? I put in a ticket last night because we scoured our server yesterday and never found any vehicles. There are about 5 locations where we know vehicles spawn (We can hop on any fresh server and always see the same vehicle at the same spot) I put in a ticket but they said vehicles were definitely spawning according to the server RPT. I'm wondering if this is at all related.

Yea I figured from your post in the HFB thread that we are having the same issue. So far they are saying to contact the hosting provider - but idk what might have changed. My server was as default as a server can be, not even 8 hours old.

Hey Epsilon, I am having the same issue on my server (Seattle 24) I submitted a ticket. This forum post is describing exactly what I am experiencing: http://www.dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=7008&page=5 (near the bottom)

Just wanted to update. Got the ticket responded too (fast as always). We'll definitely spend more time looking for the vehicles, we had a clean server and searched for a few hours in spots we always encounter them on other server. I'm guessing there must just be a few different vehicle location profiles of sorts. Besides that, our server appears to be down at the moment - cant access it from the control panel. Not sure if this is related at all. I have a ticket in. But I do want to say, overall you guys are great and definitely deserve more business! EDIT: And just like that it is back up. Thanks!

Three Bugs: 1) Hacking/Duping exploits 2) Camo swapping sending you to ocean 3) Vehicles being so temperamental (toughen em up) Three Features: 1) Player customization or unique models (not PMC skins) 2) Booby traps (flare tripwires, placing a live grenade in loot...) 3) Tent/Cache variety: There are a few different tents already in the engine from stock ARMA2. I think those being an option instead of only the old camping tent would be nice.

Will do. Yea not sure why it went down for me, tried a few different browsers. Server: Seattle 24 Thanks!

Hoping in live chat now inu. Edit: Was talking to Adam but got disconnected from chat, unable to get back in for now. Will retry. Ninja Edit: I just wanted to say thank you for obviously staying up late on a Saturday getting these servers up. The Control Panel looks great and really streamlines the whole process. Thanks again.

Just got our server up, and its running great. Really appreciate the quick response and turn around. I've noticed there are no vehicles spawning though, we know where at least 4 confirmed vehicle spawns are on several servers and none of them had vehicles. Is there something I need to update or a server setting that needs to be modified? Thanks!

Ninja Edit: NM, chat is back up.

I completely side with the Dev's here. He was polite, apologized for the situation, and thoroughly explained it. You have to understand these guys are going at 110% right now. A small server does go against what they intend for the mod. If you have fifteen people on the server, it is basically open season on great loot locations. You can then hop into a 50/50 server and have a distinct advantage.

Yep its #1 now Worldwide. The amount of money this is generating for BIS, I hope they look into buffing up the central server(s). And/or announcing official support for ARMA 3. Maybe roll that out with a pre-order for cash infusion :)

You can drop out to character selection and come back in to make a new fire.

I don't they have opened up at all about how to donate to the back end.

It was more than one of their members that were hacking btw.

No. It's not friendly fire, it's part of the game.

Welcome to ARMA 2: Deathmatch Scavenge!

Yep still definitely happening. Was just on Chicago 5 joined right at server restart. Game worked fine with 60 players (zombie level was about 700, plenty of loot). About 2.5 hours into the server zombie levels start dropping considerably. Walking through empty towns, no zombies no loot.

What is this? To be frank it sounds like someone looking for validation. Credit where credit is due? What credit? BTW, websites like Armaholic or the popular BIS boards were instrumental in sharing this. I guess I just don't understand what this post is about.
