Uh, setting affinity rules to seperate the cores is an easy job, so no virtual machines please. @Hungoverfurball, contact an admin on IRC or send an email to [email protected] and it should be worked upon tomorrow. Bedtime now!

My post was meaningless ;).

I rarely reply to a post with something meaningless as this, but your last line... :D

Just leave the affected IPs here (or mail them to the same address you contacted to have them orginally setup) and it should be fixed quickly. It's a simple fix.

Generally speaking that's not a great thing to do, no. Restarting a server doesn't matter and you can leave the Hive running, when it comes to the other way around, it's a lot better to restart the server(s) too.

It's the Gamespy-query port. Everytime someone tries to join a server, it starts a new connection. They only close after an extremely long time and sometimes not at all. A DayZ server can easily run on <500MB with 50 people in it, but over time all the join-attempt spams cause it to use over 10GB (no joke, let it run long enough and it uses 20 times as much as required to function). Block the Gamespy listening service on a server and have people only connect directly and joining is instant, any time of the day/week.

You probably can, if you don't join the same server.

If you mailed [email protected], can you PM me the email that you used? Maybe I can actually find your request then. :/ If not, feel free to PM if you want it fixed now, as I can't find your RPD info anywhere.

@Vladivar, no due to the Hive apps, @HowIChrgeLazer, what's the error? Couldn't find any server, by the info you provided, in any of the documents sadly as some people skip storing info of setups :(.

@VPope, it's a trap.

PM me with some other details.

Come on IRC :).

Where does this whole imagination come from regarding the database server being too slow? You can't instantly connect so we just start pointing fingers at the database because others do so? The database server is NOT the problem. Really it's NOT the problem. If you don't believe me I'm even willing to have you contact me either by PM or IRC and I will give you the required info to connect to a server that is connected to the main database just like any other server, no tricks, no special methods, just the standard Hive setup that is being shared by 4 60-slot servers (Chicago 5-8). There is absolutely ZERO, I repeat ZERO, waiting time in entering the server apart from your own loading screen. The gigantic delays are caused by the massive connection spam the servers get. Everyone mass clicks join on every server and with 4000 people doing that, the servers get hammered upon and before having recovered from the first attempt, 20 others have attempted a join as well. Now regarding that: "Feel free to contact me for proof", said server will go down shortly after you enter as it's not intended to be up, but it does proof that you can't blame Rocket, or any other staff member, for the delays that you experience upon joining a server.

Might want to avoid to have this become just another war game, as adding a tank means you might as well add another and thus more rockets etcetc. If anything it should be possible to hear it from miles away too, as they make gigantic amounts of noise.

Nice to see that you enjoy the game and see/play it as you should: trying to think your life is at value and survival is all that matters (instead of just respawning every second because you couldn't find in 2 minutes).

I have a GTX680 and see what you have at the bottom with my Gamma up, though I think boosting the Gamma is lame (just like alt-F4 disconnecting, locking servers to gather loot etc) and I play default (1.0) anyway.

So in essence you want both city and non-city areas to be a deathwish. I don't see myself putting up my Gamma to avoid darkness, thus I'd better not play at all, as he will kill me before I can see him?

The same devs that made the game itself? Good job on that post... Err, not.

Or you actually use the CZ550 as intended and don't shoot from <750 meters...

You probably joined them already :/. Chicago 5/6/7/8.

It's currently 7:34 AM on mine, and all 4 are also running daylight. If it stayed dark for a long time I'd assume it's indeed caused by delays over time as Felix has stated.

Had my own for Chicago 5/6/7 & 8 from the get go and soon there should be an official one coming out. Restarting them on crashes, after a fixed amount of time & when the memory has stacked up too much due to a leak. It does the same as mine, but I wrote mine just for myself, the new one will have a config so anyone can use it, that should fix a lot.
