I forgot to mention. You'll notice an increase in players as soon as you update to 1.8.1. You then will notice a decrease again, though - as there are massive problems with the switch from GameSpy to Steam Server Browser. People don't know it yet. DayZCommander hasn't updated yet. Etc, etc. pp. It's only brought issues for us thus far.

You have to admit that their servers aren't even bad from a hardware perspective. I have a testserver running and forgot to password it. It was running about three months in which I didn't do anything with it, and when I came back to it I realised people were playing it. It never once crashed or lost much of its performance in the three months. The only thing you'd see was that there were about 3,000 helicrashes on the map (most likely the reason people were on there :D )

I don't think the support of HFB was ever perfect, but it offered you exactly what you needed at a point where others couldn't do it. That was full ACP and FTP access with the possibility to have your own custom mod installed on a server, if you wish to do so. The reality is, that noone can make enough money out of DayZ Mod / ARMA servers alone to have enough Staff. The market is just so big, that the prices have to be extraordinarily low, that way you can't really pay anyone for support anymore. If you have ever thought about creating your own GSP-company - then don't.

Step 1: Find server to play on all the time. One you know is okay to play on pingwise and such. Step 2: Join friends using Steam rather than the Server-Browser. No Problems to be had, if you follow the above. You will learn what time it roughly restarts at as well as it not being overly laggy / kicking you out from time to time. If you join over Steam you also don't end up in the wrong server, that way you don't have to retry joining the servers indefinitely ending up in the wrong servers. It's very unlikely to be happening to you all the time, and if you know you hit the "Please Wait" screen, then don't try to connect immediately. The time is only 99 seconds, you can easily go do other things in the meantime. I understand that it's suboptimal at times, when restarts happen. But it's not 5 minutes and more anymore, so there's no reason to blame the devs, as you shouldn't be as unpatient as waiting 99 seconds. There's always stuff to do, that takes about 99 seconds. Get a drink, go to the toilet. Watch this:

I do not have any problems drawing my weapon or shooting it. I have problems hitting people in the face with my load, though. Make sure you're not tapping the button one too many times, as you end up drawing and then immediately holstering again.

Won't change. The community demanded measures against serverhopping and Ghosting and here it is. Atleast for the time being it will stay like this, until a better solution is found.

As this game isn't released yet the serverfiles will not be released to public and stay with trusted serverhosts. It's not only the fact that only certain providers can host servers, DayZ Servers are also fairly resource-demanding, which is why they're that pricey. Hardware costs quite a bit after all.

You don't. That's the purpose of it. It's so people don't ghost you or serverhop for loot.

You are more than likely to see this kind of stuff as soon as the tools for modding and private hives are released, as this stuff wouldn't work on a public hive system.

Have you tried different servers? This sounds like a serverproblem more than a problem on your side - you should always try joining different servers. As well as making sure you're running both the correct version of the Mod and the Beta? The mod version should either be 1.8.1 for Vanilla DayZ Mod or 1.0.4.2 for Epoch. The Beta Version should either have 1.62 or 1.63 at the beginning. The last six digits of that version usually are in the server name and must match correctly. You can check if the Mod and Game has launched properly if you get thrown out to the Multiplayer Screen. Do not close the game. Instead, go to the mainmenu and tell us what versions are displayed on the bottom right of your screen.

Merged You should be fine. I know of a few others that are running 32 bit as well.

It'd defeat the point if this would tell you beforehand what age you must be - even though you're right. Dean said it himself, most people on Steam are born on 01.01.1900. But think about what would happen if we wouldn't check the age. It's the users obligation to put in their real age, if they don't it is not our fault. Or - in short: it is for legal reasons so we are on the safe side. As far as I am aware on Steam there is an AgeVerification as well, but that's Steam's duty to check, not ours. Either http://dayzgame.com or http://forums.dayzgame.com - just bookmark it or remember it. Either way - the age limit is not up for discussion and I fear this will derail into a hate discussion against minors and / or their voices in game, so this shall be locked.

Make sure to post in the correct section, as there are pinned topics about this in the Mod-Troubleshooting section explaining you everything you need to know.

It is acknowledged and I have a fix attempt pushed to the Dev-Branch, but we haven't been able to reproduce it. The circumstances never seem to be the same, something must be causing the issue that we can't reproduce.

Feel free to post your stories, but only in one section, and that would not be the "Trading" area - other topic hidden.

BE Bans are being handled, as the name says, by BattlEye. Please contact them for support, credentials in my signature. Feel free to post any issues / glitches on the Feedback-Tracker, however.

Make sure you're posting in the correct section, as this is the Standalone section. I have to say, that this goes along nicely with your type of research, though - considering this is what I can come up with in about 10 seconds: https://www.google.com/search?btnG=1&pws=0&q=how+to+host+a+dayz+mod+server&gws_rd=ssl

Because this isn't your casual game like H1Z1 is. Take off your pants, take off your shoes, take off your clothes, baby. That way I'd recognise you.

Merged. Do yourself a favor, make reasearch and look up the progress on the Zomibes, though. The complete system is being reworked and almost finished already.

We do not insult other people on here, especially not based on their playstyle.

Infact, this shall be locked as I find it awfully coincidential, that you have posted this thread around the same time as this and that the OP is the only guy giving you beans on your post.
