My server's been hit with this too. Leaving it down. Bleh. http://imgur.com/a/sX73O

I've found that getting help on TS3 is far faster and easier than making a ticket and waiting. The sad part about Arma2 servers in general, and with the additional DayZ restrictions, is that even a lot of very basic things require the server host to be involved. I suspect a full dedicated server would be far easier to maintain.

On a related note, get an RCon client (BERCon or RCon GUI). That will let you announce without having to load up the game.

There are scripts that hackers can use to send messages to all players. One gave everyone on one of my servers M4A2 CCO SDs and said "Enjoy the pretty guns" to everyone. It showed up centered and quite visible. AFAIK I can't send that style of message. So please stop blaming everything on admins.

fyi BattleNet is already a thing

Server providers aren't allowed to give hosts full access, so we have to wait for the providers to update our servers for us. We shouldn't be punished for not having an up to date server when we aren't allowed to update them ourselves.Those servers you're seeing at the most recent patches are dedicated, not managed (pro tip: 90% of all servers are managed)

Yeah you just have to bug them a lot. I was on the other night when they were pushing 95054 updates. It takes a while to update all the servers, but it gets done.

yeah no shitThat's why small and private servers are not allowed

Yep~! Come to the TL servers (filter "teamliquid")! I get that. But the other day I was parking my truck in some pine trees so I could go to bed. It was at red engine as I just found and repaired it but had no engine parts. So I was being very careful. I pulled it in about 1kmh and was about to get out, save it, and log, when suddenly it exploded. It fucking exploded. What the fuck? You can clearly see from Exhibit C that that sort of behavior is totally unrealistic.

And finally, Exhibit C:

For further evidence, see Exhibit B:

It's come to my attention recently (specifically, last night) that the pickup isn't durable last night. To keep in line with reality, it must be made invincible. I present Exhibit A:

I go on the assumption that you'd kill them if they didn't server hop, and so I treat it the same as if they disconnect to avoid death (exploit)

He may not be, but the guy who made it is. And he said PVP is an integral part of the dayz experience.gg

Helicopters have this annoying habit of desyncing and dropping you many hundreds of meters to the ground where you promptly die. I imagine that's why they were removed.
