Having a couple of problems regarding vehicular spawns and barbed wire unable to be removed, and is in important spots for new players. I'd like to do a mission reset for the server, essentially wipe the server clean, but I can't find much information on it. I understand I can't directly tamper with the configuration files of the server, nor is it my intention, but I'd like to actually start the server clean. Google and dayzmod search results did not return with my answer :/

Adz, the reason people are upset is because the entire point of this update was to fix the artifacting...which it only made it worse.

Ah, so I'm taking it that a legitimate mission reset is not possible at the current moment?

I would hope that's not the solution. I've heard something about the instance ID being changed, which is a per host basis kind of a thing.

I just had someone get this error and kicked from my server, and then the only thing that I could find about it via Google was that it was either a hack or script attempt. Can someone verify this for me, because if so, I have a ban to revert.

There's a difference between an admin and a kid with power. An admin can admit mistakes, look at situations without reacting immediately, take in all variables of a situation and hash them out as they need to be done. My server has had plenty of hackers, but we have people who are weary to ban people rather than people who are actively attempting just that. We had an incident when someone killed us and we brought our online clan members to a pretty nice fire fight (4v4 or something like that) but when we cleared the field and these guys came back with AS-50's and Ghillie Suits (we just did a restart to bring back a vehicle that despawned out of nowhere) we knew something was up, after a few other variables were thrown in and some more obvious things occurred, then we banned, we didn't ban right on the immediate suspicion. My point is that someone who's been properly shown how to be an admin will be infinitely better than someone who was just given power and a banhammer. Find a good server, stay with them, or get your own. Those are your options.

Responded to your PM.

I banned the person manually because they got the error several times over, not just once.

Which would be a potential threat to the security of the server, correct?

I was going to ask why you were posting this because typically it's foul play...then I saw the message about the admin.

Desert zambeez!?

Nope. It works fine with my 6850. I've been doing it for a couple of days now.

I'm partially for it. I think the .50's are nice weapons, but they are a little bit overpowered because they do so much freaking damage. Don't be a bitch, you know that's not what people are saying.

Pretty much this. My freaking car always manages to dupe my gear.

The bigger question is here is how there managed to be 2 helicopters on a server when they're hard capped to one. WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?

My server is CONSTANTLY getting hackers, it's ridiculous. Every day a new hacker comes on a seriously screws up the server. We haven't had the thunderdome or anything, but hacked choppers, vehicles disappearing and now catching on fire, and items being teleported while we're looking in our inventories for ourselves, vehicles, and tents, are simply disappearing. It's aggravating.

Who's attention at you attracting? I've been shot at once with a vehicle on a populated server. They do not get blown up easy, they're almost all pretty resilient save for the ATV, ours have been stolen ONCE and we recovered them 30 minutes later, the parts are easy to find, driving through towns is not difficult, and oh no, you have to stop to fill up for gas! Whatever will you do when you have to raid for ammo in the next update? Cry about guns being too high maintenance?

I've always liked the idea of random hordes of them coming out of nowhere, being able to be on buildings, coming in and out of buildings, like the normal zeds are there and everything, but occasionally you get this massive 100 zed horde that comes out of left field and they're PISSED. Think about it. It would be even better if it wasn't dictated by location, as in, they can attack in hordes...anywhere.

I've tried literally everything and I can't spend ANY time in Cherno, Berezino, NW Airfield, Balota, or Stary. It's frustrating.

During a daylight raid on the NW Airfield with some friends, I came equipped with an AS-50 (4 magazines), M9 SD (3 magazines), almost a full tool belt (damn that entrenching tool!), and even got an M16A4 ACOG out of it as well as 3 kills. However, I tend to run around with a lighter load, an M4A1 with about 3 magazines, G17 with about 3 magazines, and my tool belt full. Since I have a large group of friends and we play on many servers, gear isn't really a problem for us.

Partly organization and the PvE, partly because of the future, and partly because of the people that I'm currently playing with.

You can't swap to the pilot's seat in mid-air? That's...kind of stupid.

Our chopper spawns in water upon a server restart, we cannot get in it or it explodes. However, when we blow it up, it sinks to the bottom of the sea where it is. It spawns pretty much on the coast, but in just enough water that we can't get it out. My question is, since it's state is constantly returned to being on the beach even after an explosion (since we can't save it) does that mean that it's going to perpetually be on that beach, and that it's just forever lost? Is there a way to reset a vehicle's spawn or anything of that nature? Any help would be appreciated.

No, I know that. My concern is that with the restarts, does the chopper respawning get involved in it's "interactivity" as in, when we do the restarts and it respawns (untouched from the previous restarts) does that new respawn effect the 7 day timer?

I've never really had a problem with THQ, but my experiences with them have been the Red Faction series and Company of Heroes, both really good series of games. Regardless, I'd prefer if Rocket and his team or a team that he picked would finish the development of the game and then the publisher is hard to decide because they're all terrible. EA managed to ruin BF somehow, Activision-Blizzard are the crux of evil and villainy, Ubisoft already gave the middle finger to the PC gaming community, THQ apparently handled the WH40k series poorly (wouldn't know), Bethesda just reskins all of their games in the past 6 years (Skyrim and Fallout, same thing, different skins). I like the way that Hidden Path tends to handle things, but they're a small company and they're under the yolk of Valve...the only developer mentioned whom I do not feel ruined anything at all actually...
