Disregard; already found it. Thanks all.

Recently reinstalled everything on my server, and now I can't seem to find the launch string. I had a batch file that included all of the mod information and the IP address of the server and everything, and that is what I used to launch the server. I got the batch file from the old "Installation Instructions" document that was on the official DayZ server hosting file repository. However, that Installation Instructions document no longer exists, and I can't find the command anywhere. How do I start my server now? The batch file got deleted in the reinstall. If somebody could just copy the contents of their batch file that launches their server here, that would be fantastic. All of my users are literally waiting on it to come back up, and now I can't bring it up for lack of this simple text string. Thanks, Torval

Hello. I'm hosting an official DayZ server, and I've decided that I need to do a "reset" of my server. We have too many tent colonies that keep popping back up on restarts, and duplicating weapons in these tents, and the vehicle spawns are all screwed...it's a mess. I would like to reset all of my vehicle spawns, tents, and whatnot. What files do I need to delete to do this? I've looked through my OA directories, and I can't seem to find any files that meet this description. I would like to avoid having to completely re-install OA and DayZ if possible, I just want my map reset back to the "vanilla" configuration. Anybody know where those files are? Thanks, Torval

I'm not sure how BattleEye would screw up the textures, although it could easily cause the crash. As for the bad serial number, you can reset that fairly easily. Go into your Arma and your OA directory, and just delete the OA executable and the Arma II executable. Kill Steam, then restart it as an Administrator, and check the integrity of your game cache. It will detect the missing files, and re-download them, (they're tiny, it'll be fast.) Make SURE you are running Steam in Admin mode; click "Play" and it'll run through its little "first time run" setup that it does, which SHOULD fix your serial key issue. I'm currently waiting on a completely fresh download/install of both Arma II and OA so that I can try again. My other machine was able to update via Six Launcher and worked with zero issues; I've been fighting it on my main machine for days now. Padla, when you did the re-install, did you manually delete the files from the directories after your Steam uninstall? It leaves some files there when you uninstall, and they must be removed manually.

Ever since the latest update, I've been hosed. OA keeps crashing right after finishing "loading." I get into the game lobby, receive the mission file, jump to the loading screen with the tanks, and then it jumps back to the view of the lobby. Only this time, all of the grass textures are just white blocks in the background, and then OA crashes out to the desktop. This is the second fresh install of OA that has been doing this to me. It takes me over 10 hours to re-install the game, and I've done it TWICE so far, and it has kept doing this same thing. I'm getting kind of fed up. I've also manually deleted the entire OA directory after a Steam uninstall, and THEN did a reinstall, only to have the same graphical issues. I update via SixUpdater after re-installing...is that the issue? Do I need to do that manually? Any help appreciated; I have a buddy coming over tomorrow evening to play DayZ, and as of right now, I still can't play. :( Cheers, Torval
