SASR

its not just DAYZ, our entire server for another mod just got kicked for the same,, currently there will be 2 million pissed off arma players right now!

Hi there, its west coast Seattle. Have been intouch with the hosting company and despite the server been inactive for a few weeks because of none payment , they are still asking me to get consent from previous owner!? cant get my head around that one. I hope there not expecting myself or someone else to dirtily pick up the tab over the last 2 weeks! Will find out more. Still trying to get hold of past owner, hes quit elusive at moment

I had heard rumours but was never sure, I could understand why they may have used the server though as i spent 7 days a week 6 hrs a night ad-mining the scripts to make sure the game players experience wasnt ruined

from what i figure at the moment sounds like its a scripts.txt file bug, maybe try reverting to the previous script and see if that works (as a guess)

lol, got my beans! Me and Jerome voted for you guys Matt. Only because we felt sorry for you! ;)

umm, i think not,go and spend the hundreds of hours as i have spent, researching and talking directly to data centres all over the world. Would be bad business sense giving away all my hard earned contacts wouldnt it!? and judging by your immaturity in how you respond to people i dont think you have the age, maturity or IQ to handle such a task in any case! so might as well move on son! and take a chill pill!

Yes it is, it was when the specials came out. Its been a very reliable server as far as uptime goes, and reached 66th place out of over 4000 servers at its peek before renewal wasnt activated. someone will need to respond quickly before it becomes defunct and sent back into circulation.

OK folks, US 716 was shut down due to the owner not renewing. I was never made aware of this and was not able to let people know in advance, im sorry for that. I have tried a number of times to get in touch with previous owner, but to no avail, so it will either go back into circulation at some point or if someone wishes to take account over, currently at $25 a month please get intouch with me on the forums at www.arma2dayz.com ASAP

thanks you. However we have not yet started our services! lol, still finalising data centre deals.( i have no affiliation with Thermal nor Hiformance.com) , was just responding to a post! but thanks anyway :)

I persume it will depend on each host and there deals with the data centres, but from what i understand even when the standalone comes out the mod itself will still continue, yes people can switch and change, and there is software that can allow for accounts to change and fill spots. So no its not a major issue unless you are updating each game instance individually which is a big headache if you are running large number of servers and accounts. But as emphasised, there are software apps the do this in an automated fasion.

Im sorry rogue1, you might have wanted to come up with some evidence rather than speculate and defame!, i have looked around myself and can safely say i could purchase dedicated servers for half the amount you quoted! Yes most servers will only host about 4 game instances per server, this is not so much to hardware issues but bandwidth limitations, if you do you research (as i have!) and get in touch with the data centres directly (as i have) it is possibly to do! As at the moment i am working a deal that will incorporate a 8 core at 3.4, 16 gig ram, 10gps ports up/down!! for about the same price as quoted above, to say it cant happen is irresponsible. But with enough work, patience and communication with certain data centres it is entirely possible to create affordable game hosting without overloading and paying its way, some even sponsor to have there name advertised on the hosting site, there are many ways to get data centre deals you just have to know what you are doing!. Its generally called extensive research!

Thank you! However as it may seem simple to you the reason for post was due to miss information posted, so as simple as it seems to you i do not have the understanding of all the scripts the hive allows, so from a clients point of view, it is not so simple, hence the question! But again thank you for taking the time to answer :)

Yo Yo Yo, children! back on topic please!

Thanks all, but i think i may have to hold out and wait for a dev to fully confirm this as i can see this turning into a troll match very soon :o whish was not my intention ;)

well, personally im not 100% sure, but what i am sure of is that in one of the recent patches in the changelog it stated "Fixed: Alt+4 game crash" Make of it what you will but they seemed to fix a bug that caused the game to crash when alt 4ing, go figure! lol personally i reckon anyone doing this should be given a permanent glowing/flashing care-bear skin!
