Spades (DayZ)

Hey I am trying to get a new server up and running. The server is hosted by vilayer. I've followed all the instructions on doing the update installs, and updated the information in server.cfg. Here are the issues, I am worried maybe the server was not installed correctly as the log shows some errors when it starts. I am more worried the server does not yet have a instance ID, under instance ID in the ACP is just says readme.. I am one of the server admins, and not the primary one so there maybe direction that were sent to the primary admin which he then ignored. So help and advice is appreciated.

Tips that work on my server. Save multiple times, seriously like 5 or 6. Space them out. There are bugs with things sharing IDs or other odd behavior if close. Avoid servers that reset often. I hope these tips help.

Looks like no because he was not instantly kicked. Where do I report this dude?

Anyone know for sure?

Hey I am a new server admin, our server just started up last night and within the first 15 minutes a helo flew into the air at the nw af base and crashed. On the airfield near where it spawned was about 8 jerry cans. I know this is not impossible with bringing in things from other servers but it just seems a little odd. What should I look for in the logs?

Trying to join just continues to result in waiting for host. Even on six launcher it just says wait. I've had a ticket in on the vilayer site and I am chilling in their vent. I just wish I knew if it was my end or theirs.

Snaggle the server was purchased yesterday and we've had access to the ACP since then but no instance ID yet.

Just noticed something odd, the ARMA2OASERVER.RPT seems to be the only log file updating. It is logging a few unrecongized CfgVehicle simulations. Under the dayzserver.log it hasn't been updated since last night but the last line shows texture headers file was not created - no textures found.

I almost want to put no text because the title explains it all. Devs seriously, fix the hole where people can disable battleye but still send the okay to a server. Seriously, you need a battleye for battleye... Servers should reject all commands that are not from a host with a encrypted password. I am just at a loss..

Hey watch out while playing on US 588 formerly Chicago 128. It is ran by the enforcers but I cannot find out how to get ahold of them. I and a friend have been killed in the northwest a few times by hackers who nail us in two shots aka the pop pop hack. Its not the normal oh he sees me F, or even oh he snuck up on me this is I see him I start firing from cover while he is 150m away he swings around and pop pop in my skull while I am hidden in a bush. If any of the admins from US 588 see this check the logs to see who last killed Kurt and TheCroatian. Till then I will not be playing on this server, and I advice others not to either. Leaving behind on US 588 5 tents 1 motorcycle 2 ATVs 2 AS50s 25 morphine.. really just tons of stuff because there is no longer a point in having that stuff when a hacker can check his map see where I am then just mouse over me for his gun to go pop pop right on my skull.

Was looting a super market, guy shoots me through the window, I pass out. He runs behind me and voips "Haha should've been using ESP noob." then puts one in my dome. Is hacking really getting this bad?!

I just think the two biggest things the devs should be working on is #1. making the game more stable and #2. IP banning hackers and making battleye better so it actually stops the hacking because right now its really bad.

My understanding it that it shows you where players and vehicles are. So its not really hard to get the jump on someone if you know their exact position.

Agreed hackers are ruining the game, and the problem just keeps growing. Battleye is not stopping them.

I don't mind the bugs, or patches, or testing, or dieing to glitches, zombies going crazy, really its all fine except when esp hackers start ruining everything. Anyone else want to vent or try to cheer me up?

retooling can be fun, but I would rather it be from someone owning me without hacking. What point is there in creating a tent camp and collecting vehicles if someone can just find me on the map mouse over me and two shot me? It really takes away from the game.

Do people still get offended by 5 year old memes?

Nm, found it. Its US 588 if anyone else is also hunting for Chicago 128

Trying to find the old Chicago 128, so far no luck :(
