Script Restriction #55 is in regards to vehicle usage and technically crashing the vehicle, but, it sometimes occurs when you haven't crashed a vehicle at all or you're not even driving the vehicle but are a passenger in the vehicle. Its one of those really fun bugs when you're flying/riding in a UH1H and suddenly your pilot disappears or you watch someone get ejected from the chopper 500m up in the air...its usually that error that causes it. I put in a pretty extensive bug report about it but whoever moderates the Bug Reporting forum either decided it wasn't extensive enough, or the error had nothing to do with DayZ and wasn't worth posting for investigation. There are some posts about it in Server General as well where server admins have offered up some temporary work arounds.

If it was on its side it had been crashed, I'm not sure a crashed chopper is actually supposed to be repairable, so sounds like mostly a bug.

Because a lot of Russians play the game. Arma 2 is developed by a development house in the Czech Republic. From what I understand, Arma 2 itself is more popular with the European player base than it is in the Western hemisphere.

I suspect we'll see the forums fill up with these threads about once every two weeks or so, as that seems to be the turn around time on BattlEye actually banning a bunch of hacks, and the hacks changing their memory addresses so they work again and the hackers come back. Overall it will always be a situation that increases and decreases depending on what state we're currently in as a game community. DayZ is really cool for a few days after BattlEye has thrown out a ton of global bans and updated its detection. Then in a week or two, the hacks are all updated and we're waiting for BattlEye again. SNAFU...basically.

Looks like we're waiting for another mass BE ban sweep to occur. Seems like the script suites have been updated again.

There can't really be a situation of scarcity since every time a server resets all the contents of tents and vehicles tend to revert to some last known good save state from the Hive which usually means anything taken out of them over the period between restarts is usually back in their inventory. Even if you're not trying to dupe things, the current Hive to server situation tends to create duping situations without you even intending to do it. Far as scarcity of spawns....it wouldn't be too much trouble to add percentile chance modifiers to food spawns, but, water is harder to deal with as a lot of the water spawns are static areas or wells. You'd need to create an entirely new database table which managed all water sources on each server on the Hive and randomly assigned a "stagnate" or "non-potable" state to the water sources and wells around the map. But even with controlling the percentile chance of food spawns, its not too hard to hunt wild life for food. So that would require another table to manage wild life spawn chances and setting different states of wild life health to manage a changing scale, based on animal health, in regards to how much usable meat it had.

Corrupt server admins are a problem. But whats the issue with homos? Got a little bit of a problem there you need to get sorted out?

We'll give that a try, but yeah we're still having the problem. Bohemia Interactive stopped responding to my support ticket after they eliminated the possibility of it being the Arma 2 beta or Arma 2 in any way. Obviously this is some kind of DayZ Hive related issue in regards to the Hive rejecting GUID's with the same public IP but it doesn't seem to be happening to everyone and work arounds are pretty scant and not reliable. So far though any time I want to play, my wife has to play on a different server, and we cannot play together.

The tents in DayZ are pretty hilarious in comparison to the Arma 2 construction system.

Not sure this is exactly the same feeling people getting kicked from the server while flying a chopper feel. Or their passengers. Best to just log this restriction rather than kick for it imho. Least til theres a better fix. In regards to #55 at least.

US 401 has had two 8+ hour outages in the period of two days. Currently our server has been down for over twelve hours. Starting on 7/30 at around 1900 hours CST. On 7/29 the server went down at approximately 1300 CST and wasn't back up til after 2100 CST. And when it came back up it was brought back up as a newly configured server...all our config settings had been reset to defaults and the email we received in response didn't address why our server was down, it was the same kind of auto-generated email which we got when our server was first brought up. We dealt with it and reconfigured our config settings and let it go at that. Server stayed up about 14 hours then went down again...and its still down right now and we've yet to get any response to the issue. Effectively I'm not saying HA is a bad service, but the turn around times on their support queue are very substandard to expectation. Whats more this New York colocation facility they have our server at continually has the same problem, but their network status page says their New York nodes are fine.....obviously they must just be checking the gateway IP and not bothering to check down to their individual server IP's cause this is very far from the case. We send in support tickets, we send them Twitter messages, hell one of our UK members even tried to contact them by phone.....it gets us no where. Which is rather unfortunate because the HA guys seem like they want to do the best they can by their customers but I think that the DayZ side of the business isn't getting a lot of attention since they have a lot of customers in relation to Minecraft and web hosting as well.

Choppers seem to have an associated BattlEye script restriction in regards to them, I had our chopper eject two people from the server for BattlEye Script Restriction #55 in one trip. And on a second trip, it did it to me and i was the pilot, which resulted in much lulz and various butthurt all around. Trying to investigate if we can have this #55 simply log occurrences rather than instantly kick, to get around the problem. But overall, if you get it and you're the pilot, your chopper will go down, everyone in it will sustain massive injuries and possibly death if they can't regain consciousness before they bleed our or a medic gets to them....and, even more fun, the chopper simply disappears and leaves no trace behind, simply to reappear where you found it, completely unrepaired again.

BE Script Restriction #55 is even more hilarious.

This BE error is murderous in regards to choppers. Its kicked multiple passengers out of our chopper while in flight, and, caused the chopper to crash when BE kicked me while piloting it. Yay alpha. LOL.

lol with all the people in the woods, even the woods aren't safe these days.

Sorry to say, but yeah, a lot of people in DayZ are like this. And....they'll give you a lot of shit for "not getting it". Don't let it get under your skin though. Life is cheap in Chernarus. Death is free.

A troll got trolled then complained about it. We win.

Actually DayZ is quite a bit better than the base Arma 2 game, all things considered. Which is sorta sad....in general. Though there are some good features of the base Arma 2 game, which would be fairly cool in DayZ. To be honest I'm not sure how anyone seriously played Arma 2, even when it was new. What a bug cluster.

Got no problem dealing with criticism from twelve year olds, I find it annoying that we're basically paying for Rocket's proof of concept thats going to launch him into a multi-million dollar game platform, and his administration rules pretty much strip server admins of their basic rights to keep their games as fair as possible without having to literally turn administrating a DayZ server into a job. Every single person I've had to ban I have to pull and analyze a ton of information and yes I keep backed up copies of it so I can present it if challenged for it....and thats the thing, I have to defend my decisions, to some yahoo who is going to make millions of dollars off using my server and your server and everyone elses servers as a proof of concept to rake in a ton of investment money and go stand alone off it. And hey I'm cool with Rocket getting all the success he deserves but, I think server admins deserve a little more respect than they're being given. Right now hackers have more power in this server system, than server admins do. Hackers can hack with impugnity til their hack gets banned and, long as they don't get Hive banned, they just buy another copy of Arma and get right back at it. Me and my clan put out a ton of cash to put up a server, and we can have all of that yanked out from under us, simply for banning the hacker I mentioned, and not being able to conclusively prove that the hacker was hacking...its not like ESP shows up in RPT files or scripts or server console. Thats pretty much crap, I mean if some clan teabagged Rocket for hours back in the day then banned him from their server or something..thats great, but the obvious distrust of server admins that the hosting agreement implies just fuels the insane sense of entitlement most players have.

Oh, look, someone that thinks BE global bans happen instantly. Nevermind what I said, get on with your bad self there. Enjoy your stuff and have a great day :D

Man Chernarus would rule if there was a short bus you could drive around to pick up all the special children with.

This chart was made previous to the Arma 1.62 update. The damage values for pretty much all the sidearms are wrong and a few of the rifles/assault rifles.

BTW DayZ = Sandbox game. You make it a PvP game, or not, depending on what you choose to do. Just cause you're a murderous fuckbag with a limited imagination doesn't mean DayZ = PvP game.

Translation: I'm a sociopath. End Translation.

I've been waiting 5 hours simply to get a response on a support ticket. My server has been down since 1:15PM, no response from their support team whatsoever. Not saying I don't like HA, but every time our server stops talking to the rest of the internet it takes like 8 hours for anyone to do anything about it.
