what do you mean? we're paying 40 a month and its a brand new clean server. i see you're using host altitude, just ask them to give you a new instance id and you'll get a fresh start. vehicles may take some time to start spawning however

lol well played, nice teamwork and a lot of communication/patience. def some experienced players here the way you got taken down was totally shady though, if it's the same guy with the suppressed m4 who was shooting you the first time before you zigzagged away.

same exact thread #5236 here we go

if you shoot the corpse of a dead player not too long after he died, you get those messages in chat

(also when i keep saying beta... i mean alpha, my bad :P)

not sure, but i know more and more people are realizing this, which is why you tend to see a lot of discounted dayz servers for ridiculously low prices often on the forums now. at this point in the beta, only established servers are going to survive, no new server stands a chance, so the business is going to die soon as well and they know that

DON'T. the amount of bs you will have to put up with is not going to be worth it. the game is completely broken at the moment, and something that i would imagine is a simple fix (for item saving) hasn't been patched in weeks. the beta is dead, they are basically just working on the standalone now. when i called out a bunch of clan kids on duping hacked weapons (as50 tws) endlessly on my server, the reply i got was "you can't ban us because rocket said it's not a bannable offense". as an admin you barely have any control of the server you are paying for, and the logs are a pain in the ass to read. nothing is being done to help server owners out, infact i noticed everything is going against them. me and a friend bought a server because we were tired of the bs restarts everytime we steal an admin's vehicle/helicopter, and wanted to have somewhere where we could have a good, fair game. right off the bat the saving issue kicked in and nobody wanted to play anymore because they can't save their progress. as one wise individual pointed out "our server is only good for duping because it is really fast at loading". now it's basically dead and we are shutting it down. tl:dr: save yourself time and trouble and don't rent a server until standalone

my friend logged into camp one time and found a guy in civilian clothing in the driver's seat of our uaz. he proceeded to take the guy out and found that he had nothing on him... no kill message either. i was just glad that no one actually found our camp, which has never been raided before :D strange things happen in this game

oh god, really? i thought you can only create a waypoint if you had a gps. that made sense to me is why i always used a compass to find my way around. ofcourse i stay away from servers with any type of nametags/crosshairs, defeats the whole purpose of the game imo. maybe waypoints are in the same category

i stopped watching on "compass - not needed when playing alone" because it's actually one of the most useful tools you can find :P

just wanted to leave some feedback my friend and i are renting a server from hostaltitude and it has been working flawlessly. there was a problem with the update feature where it would display an error, but that was taken care of quickly after creating a support ticket. also, tents/vehicles do not save due to a hive issue, and we ended up with a ton of broken tents at our camp location. we created a support ticket explaining the situation, and they promptly gave us a new instance id, which is exactly what we were hoping for. server has been up 99.9% of the time as advertized, and after adjusting a few advanced server settings, barely any desync or lag. no problems whatsoever and good support keep up the good work!

me and my buddies were playing and were in a barn on the west side of the map when someone started talking to us from the forest behind. we didn't notice anything suspicious and proceeded to talk to him and wait for him to come out. he precisely told us our movements and how we rotated (how he sees that we have 2 guys in the barn, 1 by the truck) even though we had no eyes on him whatsoever. then, boxes full of gear started spawning in right by the barn and inside the barn. that's when we realized theres a hacker messing with us. we logged off promptly, there were not many people on the server. i kicked the 2 that i knew for certain weren't with us. I am sorry to HotBox, who was a fair player and got kicked by me in vain. the second was Jason (10240262 ID). now i am new to server hosting and did a bit of research on checking logs, and soon found this in my arma2oaserver.RPT: 9:41:38 "CLEANUP: KILLING A HACKER Jason B 1-1-I:1 (Jason) REMOTE IN ParachuteWest" 9:41:38 "CLEANUP: KILLING A HACKER Jason B 1-1-I:1 (Jason) REMOTE IN ParachuteWest" 9:41:38 "CLEANUP: KILLING A HACKER Jason B 1-1-I:1 (Jason) REMOTE IN ParachuteWest" 9:41:38 "CLEANUP: KILLING A HACKER Jason B 1-1-I:1 (Jason) REMOTE IN ParachuteWest" 9:41:38 "CLEANUP: KILLING A HACKER Jason B 1-1-I:1 (Jason) REMOTE IN ParachuteWest" 9:41:38 "CLEANUP: KILLING A HACKER Jason B 1-1-I:1 (Jason) REMOTE IN ParachuteWest" 9:41:39 "WRITE: ['PASS']" 9:41:39 "PDEATH: Player Died 10240262" he did not actually die in game, and was shooting one of our guys who remained on the server to save our pickup truck. i kicked him in the middle of that, and now he is banned thats all!

i can confirm this issue. tents/vehicles do not save on our server after restart. tried everything i could and it just doesn't work waiting patiently for a fix

yo this is the only 424 server thread i found on the forum but i wanted to go a bit off topic here and say these guys have been a group of standup gamers and admins. yesterday we get a message that their server is closing on the 11th of this month, but that they will be setting up a new one. please let me know the details so i can continue playing on your guys' server, and good luck with everything. (hope a tlh member reads this)

really need a "trading" subforum these come up here way too often
