Since the structure of Bliss has changed I've wasted about 10 hours without get it working. I'm starting it using: Expansion/beta/arma2oaserver.exe -profiles=C:\cfgdayz -name=Bliss -bepath=C:\cfgdayz\BattlEye -cfg=C:\cfgdayz\ArmA2OA.cfg -config=C:\cfgdayz\Bliss_Qmlhr8u6vV.cfg -ip=xxx.xx.xx.xx -port=2302 -mod=@dayzfallujah;@bliss_1.fallujah C:\cfgzdayz is .wine/drive_c/cfgdayz and containg: drwxr-xr-x 3 gameserver2 gameserver2 4096 Nov 6 16:11 . drwxr-xr-x 7 gameserver2 gameserver2 4096 Nov 6 16:11 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 gameserver2 gameserver2 393 Nov 6 16:12 ArmA2OA.cfg lrwxrwxrwx 1 gameserver2 gameserver2 37 Nov 6 16:11 BattlEye -> /home/gameserver2/dayz4linux/BattlEye lrwxrwxrwx 1 gameserver2 gameserver2 42 Nov 6 16:11 Bliss.log -> /home/gameserver2/dayz4linux/var/Bliss.log -rw------- 1 gameserver2 gameserver2 3207 Nov 6 16:11 Bliss_Qmlhr8u6vV.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 gameserver2 gameserver2 2104 Nov 6 16:11 HiveExt.ini drwxr-xr-x 3 gameserver2 gameserver2 4096 Nov 6 16:11 Users lrwxrwxrwx 1 gameserver2 gameserver2 50 Nov 6 16:11 arma2oaserver.RPT -> /home/gameserver2/dayz4linux/var/arma2oaserver.RPT -rw-r--r-- 1 gameserver2 gameserver2 1427 Nov 6 16:11 coredump.ahk lrwxrwxrwx 1 gameserver2 gameserver2 44 Nov 6 16:11 hiveext.log -> /home/gameserver2/dayz4linux/var/hiveext.log There is never written anything to hiveext.log. I'm able to connect but then I get displayed "Server is running an incorrect version of the server side application" I've changed the Passwort in HiveExt.ini... Someone has any idea?

I just want to inform everyone especially the server owner that the format of the *.rar file has changed! This is VERY important for everyone using Updater Scripts. The old format was DayZ-1.7.2.6.rar and contained the files directly. The new format DayZ-v1.7.3.rar contains the files in a subdirectory named DayZ-v1.7.3! Please be aware of this! If anyone needs the files in the old format without the subdirectory you can PM me. I'm not posting it into this thread since I'm not sure the if the devs allow me to. Best regards, darky

Hello Serveradmins, anyone here had the problem that his server stuck at "creating"? My Server is launching and showing: 21:01:55 Dedicated host created. 21:01:55 BattlEye Server: Initialized (v1.149) 21:01:56 Host identity created. After that Players can cannot an will be identified: 21:20:07 Player Somebody connecting. 21:20:08 Player Somebody connected (id=12345678). 21:20:08 BattlEye Server: Player #0 Somebody (123.34.5.67:2304) connected 21:20:08 BattlEye Server: Player #0 Somebody - GUID: n21nndenasndu1jnasdxa22112 (unverified) 21:20:08 BattlEye Server: Verified GUID (n21nndenasndu1jnasdxa22112) of player #0 Somebody 21:20:15 BattlEye Server: IMPORTANT: BattlEye's script detection feature has been improved! See here for more information: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?131759-New-BattlEye-features-for-server-admins&p=2192402&viewfull=1#post2192402. But here it ends. Player can connect and disconnect but they are stuck at a black screen saying "Wait for Host" while the Server shows "creating" as status in the Ingame Browser without a current running map. Any tips or ideas how to fix or what the problem could be? Thanks in advance! Best Regards, darky

If anyone else struggle into this problem you should check that: The template Variable inside /etc/server.cfg is NO string but "plain text" e.g template = dayz_1234.Chernarus; and NOT: template = "dayz_1234.Chernarus"; The Mission in the /etc/server.cfg has the class named "DayZ" Thanks to facoptere for the help to get my server up and running and even more for providing a nice and working linux script collection!

There can't be an ETA by the DayZ Devteam since the maintenance is from the ARMA II Multiplayer Team themselve. Could be Gamespy maintenance again.

I've managed installing the Linux Server with wine inside an XEN Instance running Xvfb - and the Server starts up but not is not fully functionable: 21:01:55 Dedicated host created. 21:01:55 BattlEye Server: Initialized (v1.149) 21:01:56 Host identity created. If a player connects the connect is shown with playerid and is verified against battleeye. But afterwarts the client is stuck at "Waiting for host" and shown as "creating" in the ingame server browser. Anybody also experienced that problem? I'm running the Server directly on an own external IP. Some suggestions?

Das erzielt zwar leider auch nicht ganz den Sinn von Dayz, aber ich kann euer Bedürfnis nach einem eigenen Server wo ihr unter euch alleine spielen könnt absolut nachvollziehen, nachdem jetzt bald zum 2ten mal unsere Base geplündert wurde! ;) Wenn ihr den Server ohne HIVE laufen lassen könnt, dann schreibt das bitte auch in den Servernamen, dann wird euch auch keiner mehr anschwärzen wollen! Blacklisten würde für euch soweit ich das weiß auch nur den Disconnect zum HIVE bedeuten, daher stellt das dann für euch ohnehin kein Problem dar. Ich möchtet euch trotzdem eventuell überlegen ob ihr nicht auf das verzichten möchtet und wie alle anderen Spielen wollt, denn ohne echte Spieler fehlt immerhin ein sehr großer Risikofaktor in dem Spiel - und macht es erheblich einfacher. Wollt ihr nicht die Challenge?

## English Version below ## Lieber Paddy, als Österreicher fühle ich mich irgendwie auch ein wenig in der Sippenhaftung und möchte daher Stellung zu deiner Argumentationslinie beziehen in der Hoffnung, dass auch bei euch im Clan Einsicht einkehrt. Es ist natürlich verständlich, dass du auf deinem eigenen bezahlten Server in Ruhe ein Spiel spielen möchtest, jedoch ist dies in dem aktuellen Alpha-Stadium des Spieles nicht vorgesehen. Ihr spielt derzeit einen Mod, welche unentgeltlich(!) von Entwicklern für eine breite und wachsende Community bereitgestellt wird. Bevor du mit dem Argument aufwartest, dass ihr für ARMA 2 bezahlt habt - Bohemia Interactive steht meines Wissens in keiner Verbindung zu den DayZ Developern, daher bekommen die DayZ Entwickler auch keine Entlohnung für ihre Arbeit. Ihr müsst euch einfach an die Regeln halten und vorallem unter Verwendung des offiziellen HIVE ist es nicht erlaubt einen Server abzusperren um sich so einen Vorteil zu erzielen. Es ist löblich, dass euer Ansinn nicht die Bereicherung zur Nutzung der erworbenen Gegenstände auf anderen Servern ist, jedoch kann dies bei einem gelockten Server derzeit nicht ausgeschlossen werden. Bitte seht ein, dass auch ihr die Regeln beachten müsst und schließt euren Server wieder auf, bevor die DayZ Developer euch blacklisten. Liebe Grüße, Harry / darky --- Dear Paddy, as Austrian I'm feeling a little bit in a kin liability and want to take a stance on your argumentation line hoping for your clans understanding. It's reasonable that you and your clan wanna be left alone on your self paid server while playing the game but this is not intended as an option in the actual alpha stage of the game. You're playing a Mod, which is beeing developed free of charge(!) by several developers for a wide and growing community. Please do not argument that you've paid for ARMA 2 since Bohemia Interactive the developer of ARMA 2 and the DayZ Developers bear no relation as far as i know. Therefore the DayZ devs highly likely do not get any cent from them for their work. Please stick to the rules especially while using the official HIVE and do not lock your server because this will give you the possibility to achieve an advantage in getting better weapons and other stuff. It's creditably that you do not want to abuse your new possibility but this can't be observed. Please accept that rules need to be minded and reopen your servers before you're getting blacklisted. Best Regards, Harry / darky

What would be "the way" someone can request an Instance ID for an linux server? There is no option for using some linux operating system in the signup process - and I don't wanna violate the rules with selection "any" os while using Linux.

We've updated our server also to the second hotfix patch but we are still getting out of sync within minutes on our server. I'm afraid it isn't the fault of the server admins themselves but more likely a bug in the current release.

Hello Guyz! We are currently happy customer of Vilayer but since some of us are server administrators we would like to host our own dayz server. Unfortunately dayz does not yet support Linux-Servers which is a real pity in our opinion. Since we are currently hosting our other gameservers on our linux root server we are looking for some suggestions and user opinions which provider offers windows server at an appropriate price within europa best in austria or germany. Thanks in advance! best regards, darky

Thanks for your reply and this valuable information! I would really appreciate see dayz running under linux because I'm currently managing a double-digit number of linux servers - and a windows server is still frightening me if you know what I mean! ;) Sent him a PM. I'm not very confident that it would work flawless but it would be really amazing. My personal alltime favorite in the last years is hetzner but I was hoping there is some provider cheaper or offering windows server as service without taking an addiontal monthly fee but this seems to be an idle wish. Are you currently hosting your DayZ Server on your Hetzner Root? If you do - is your Windows Installation Self-Setup using VNC or are you paying the additional 15€ for an Windows License? Thanks the two of you for your time!
