Do you have any video or screen shots from the incident you are describing?

Cyberkitten I suppose that could be true but most servers will not and if he is being trusted to restart the server regularly I am sure the owner could provide him the BERcon password.

This is actually my server and it was under a massive DDOS attack yesterday so I took it down. I am putting it back up as soon as I white list another IP. UP

The official stance at this time is you must have 40 slots on all of your servers or at least 30 in places where bandwidth is expensive (developing countries).

If you have the server admin password you will be able to use the tool I linked to log in.

Hey sorry to hear about that, obviously this is still an alpha and bugs are prone to happen. We are currently focusing on a huge backlog of bug fixes and issues right now and the process of restoring characters for a single person is very time consuming. I'm sorry you lost your gear but unless you are facing an account crippling issue (ie you can not play the game) we can restore your character.

I am not sure what you are calling a 'normal' admin or a 'global' admin however you can use the remote Rcon tool: http://www.battleye.com/downloads/BERCon.exe AFter logging in just do say -1 message So you would log in and do this say -1 RESTART IN 2 MINUTES!!!

I do not have solid figures to give you for the instance IDs per thread. What I do have for you is some basic numbers. Every 50 slot server seems to take about 10mbps or like you said 2tb a month approx of bandwidth. Currently I am running a box with the following configuration: Intel Xeon E3-1270 16 GB ECC DDR3 300 GB Western Digital VelociRaptor 10000RPM HDD Windows 2008 Standard R2 (64bit) I have 4x50 slot servers running on this, with a TeamSpeak 3 server, 75 slot Minecraft server and by the looks I could almost certainly add another 50 slot DayZ server easily. However most of the usuage seems to be in the CPU and not RAM or disk I/O like you said. Regarding the windows license, if you are going to build one 'master' machine I would suggest just running a copy of Windows 2008 Datacenter 64bit edition as the root and run VMs (Parrellels?) with Windows 2008 Standard R2 (64bit) for each VM since the Datacenter edition would give you unlimited virtual licenses on that box. Do I think it is a good idea to only have 1 installation of windows with 30 50 slot servers running even if you could do it? NO - Due to the fact that you will actually be using 1 installation of ARMA 2, whenever you have to update either the mod or the game files you would need to stop all 30 of those servers and then start them again. This to me just does not seem like a wise decision. I would also suggest that if you are going to be selling these to other people that you make sure each client has their own IP address to use because if any server becomes blacklisted any server on that IP will no longer connect to the hive. My overall suggestion: Go quad core with Windows 2008 Standard R2 (64bit) and run 4-6 servers max per server.

There is a new better system coming

What version of windows and what speed on the hard drive?

Pm sent with details.

Well my question I suppose would be who invited you and such? We have a roster setup that our squad leads have access to, showing who is in and what not. I could not, still can not, find your name on there nor have any of the squad leads mentioned you being with us. I know for a fact that is not the first time you were asked to identify yourself, as the first day I saw you in vent I asked who you were, if you were new, etc. Perhaps rather than always sitting in afk you should of gotten to know someone, really anyone.

Have you tried deleting your RPT file as it may be to long. (Make sure to make a backup first obviously)

I think even if there is a forum section for server hosts it would still be nice to see a mailing list for immediate updates as I could pipe that to my phone or make one of my techs do it. Also, Joel I'd love to get added if possible, currently hosting Dallas 13.

We are still recruiting, we currently play on Dallas 13 our home server, might put up another if there is to many of us in 1 server. If you have any questions feel free to reply here, hop in vent, or pm Apollo or myself.

Glad to hear that you guys are aware of this Ander, any update on when servers that don't have them at all will get them?

I have backed up and deleted the log file on the server Holy, hopefully this will fix the issue.

Just re-download the original server files and the updated hive is in there.

Has the server monitor been updated or is there a way to get the new version since I keep seeing that my current version is two steps behind the "live" version.

Yeah that makes sense DJKhaled and thanks for telling me how to check. I was going nuts for the past few days too, seeing as how crashed helis/tents/everything else was spawning.

I'm wondering if there is a way to know for sure if they are added to your instance id or not?

When the earlier poster mentioned free I believe he meant there is no password. We only use Ventrilo so if you don't like it then maybe it would be best to find another group that uses teamspeak?
