I believe that's a one time setting. For instance, someone from US PST may buy a server located @ US EST... So Vilayer gave them the option to set that server to PST. The setting is not there to change at your every whim... That kind of defeats the purpose of the game.

Host Altitude seems to be working just fine for me, I've logged into my game panel with no issues and my server's still running. My server's in NY.

You can also try out US 382, you should probably find one with a pretty decent ping.

I'm interested in your progress as well. BEANS FOR YOU!

I have ESXi at home (my other servers are in a datacenter). I love it to death. Unfortunately it's sitting on dual 30/10 concast business lines which I don't feel comfortable hosting gameservers off of. Because it's concast. It can be hosted off a linux box you say? I'll look into that then!

Yeah I would MUCH rather maintain my own DayZ server, unfortunately all my boxes are linux :( A prime example would be that at this very second there's a new ArmA 2 Beta update that I can't even apply because Host Altitude's /afk and taking their sweet old time. Tell me how a company with the domain "DayZhosting.com" is unable to be up to date at all times.

The server doesn't require 100mbps uplink, in fact 99.9% of the datacenters can't even hit that mark. They only advertise 100mbps uplink because that's what the router's capeable of pushing through (throughput). Minimum requirement should be about 1.5Mbps for a massive server of like 80. Now, if you're attempting to run a server off your home connection, that maybe a problem. There's too many unknown variables such as someone hogging badwidth in your home via Netflix or a mere power outage. Is the current system perfect? Nah, some admin are a**h***s and childish. They feel that since they're paying for the servers they should ultimately control every aspect about them. Including the ability to eject anyone they dislike or are frustrated with. I've yet to kick a single person from my server, and I've lost some amazing gear... You just have to take a step back, take a breath, and start all over again. That's what this game's about and that's why I love it.

There also seems to be an update for Arma 2 Beta, be sure to check for it.

I've completely removed ArmA 2 / ArmA 2 OA, went into steamapps/common/ and deleted all that remains of ArmA 2 / OA and ran CCleaner. I'm now reinstalling the game and will update on whether or not I can get into servers.

If I leave the game frozen for a bit, this pops up in the ArmA 2 OA RPT... I'm thinking this is the issue!

Alrighty, here's my ArmA2OA.RPT - I'll make it an attachment ArmA2OA.txt

Some things I've tried that haven't helped: New Profile [no dice] Six Launcher [no dice] DayZ Commander [no dice] Launching game from steam (with and without beta) [no dice] Reinstalling Battleye [no dice] Rebooted three times, tried everything above [no dice] Reset Router, tried everything above [no dice] Disabled Anti-Virus & Comodo Firewall, tried everything above [no dice] Swapped out routers, tried everything above [no dice] Pretty sure I covered all my bases, I was playing last night just fine, logged off in Zub Castle. I'm out of ideas here.

I have the same issue, started this morning. Update: DayZ still freezes, even without Six-Launcher

My server of 40 (capped usually) runs at about 500-600 kbps (bursty). I'd guess the safe average is a consistant 500 kbps.

I can only speak on my behalf but before I purchased a server for DayZ I took the time to read the rules and regulations. Honestly, I was pretty frustrated that there was no reservation system (I would be fine with a 5 slot maximum or something.) however I didn't let this minor setback discourage me (It's still in beta). I'm glad to help this project along in any way possible, even if it's just donating a server for anyone to play on. I think most people (who run servers) need to realise that you knew what you were signing up for before renting/purchasing a server to play on. If you don't like it, you're completely entitled to walk away and bounce between other servers.
