Overly hopeful!! Can now join the server but get insta kicked for 'Battle eye script restriction 21'

As a Vilayer server admin I can tell you that there have been 2 major updates in the last 24hrs, I'm installing 4.5 at the moment and it's already taken an hour to get to 46% I expect it's these updates that are causing part of the problem. I couldn't join any 4.2 servers this morning, so hoping that this new 'fix' will sort things out.

I've had a Vilayer server for 2 months and what can I say, it's been emotional....if frustration is an emotion. Once the server was up and running it was very good, the trouble comes from the constant updates that appear from nowhere with no warning! You just get things setup the way you like them and BOOM! "This update fixes vehicles joined together when they spawn" But we've never had that problem (installs update anyway)... ahhh, now we do! Did you like setting the time on your server? Well FU! we're taking that away for no good reason! Every fix just seems to generate another problem for someone somewhere else. It's a computer version of the old lady who swallowed a fly! I'll give you an example. Yesterday there was an update to 4.2 (fixes this, updates that) YOU MUST UNINSTALL YOUR MOD BEFORE RUNNING THIS UPDATE! Well ok, except once you've uninstalled the mod, the message for the update is... UNABLE TO UPDATE AT THIS TIME! (this continued all day) Fine, I'll just reinstall my mod and wait til they sort it.... YOU CANNOT INSTALL ANY MODS UNTIL YOU HAVE UPDATED TO 4.2. No one on TS to help or give advise no answer to the ticket.... ARRRGGGHHH! TODAY.... new update (to be fair, they'd fixed the server over night.... except there was something stopping us from joining) ANOTHER update to 4.5 along with an unfathomable email telling us about the 4.2 update and how we should DL some files from them and then overwrite the files on our client Arma! Not going to happen Vilayer!!

I have to agree, I paid for mine 2 days ago and it still isn't up and I've had no response from their ticket system. I went onto their TS server yesterday and there were a load of pissed off people, but no one to answer the queries. However, it did filter down that my problem (unable to install an update essential to the server actually working) was a common one. Today I tried to join the TS server and everyone is muted (i guess to stop the formation of an angry mob) so there is no way of working out what's going on... useless!

I don't really understand where you're coming from separating Racists and Hackers as far as gaming goes, neither traits offer any anything positive and both are equally undesirable.

Being a nasty little racist may not be a banable offence, but in this guys case it should be! Plus he combat logs at the end... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFW-YPKfx4A zFW-YPKfx4A

Refreshing attitude on here guys!

I have no clue if this is possible! Set up a hive that only uses steam account unique IDs, (if this costs money then charge people a few dollars to get a login, if it removes the threat of hackers it'll be gladly taken on by the community) if you get caught hacking, you lose your steam access (for the DayZ mod). No one with less than X number of paid for games can pay to join the steam hive. It'd be like a premium membership that can be taken away. Or Team servers with FF off. Two teams competing against each other for resources, for those who want a bit of team play with more of the danger that makes the game more interesting. Most people hate cheaters, even if they are on there team, so the hacker would never know if he was being Frapped by a friendly and find himself banned. This was probably one of the best deterrents for games like CS back in the day and APB right now.

I was getting random coast spawns before this patch tbh, now I don't seem to be able to join any servers (despite updating using DZcommander) but I guess it'll sort itself out.

You get destracted from driving the car because of the potential heli crash site on the hill you're driving past!

Cherno and Electro are great for looting but don't climb buildings!! Why would you do that? Stay at ground level and keep moving, if you aggro Z's and you can't despatch them silently, get up and dodge you way north out of the city and into the trees. Once there don't stop running until you're sure you're alone, if you still have Z's walk backwards and shoot them.

Hey, I'm a mate of Hammah, only younger and better looking! Will you be about for some co-op later this evening? If so you can PM either of us for our TS details. Ahh, ignore that, we'll PM you for yours.

I know admins are not allowed to kick players or lock servers, but what about all the server admins who don't update there servers? Basically they're achieving exactly the same thing, as they are preventing players who keep their client up to date (that is everyone who uses Six Updater) from joining their servers! I'm not suggesting that this is always a cheat as such, but does it count as an exploit?

Yeah, thx guys. I rejoined another server and all is well, I guess it wasn't connected to the hive.... it was more a heads up for other players! That said, I have to disagree with the commonly used and afore mentioned 'don't get attatched too your gear' statement (though I completely understand what is meant by it.) Good gear is hard to come by legitimately, finding good gear is a massive part of the game, the threat of losing your good gear gives you the sense of jepardy that makes you think about almost every action I take. I enjoy this game for many reasons, but I'd be lying if I said one of the biggest ones wasn't good gear!

Hi Just joined (with friend) GB-1 Mixxit We spawned on the coast with nothing.... is this a bug or what, any chance we can get gear back?
