You probably should have mentioned that LLC and VC MUX are only for people using PPPoE, so it's useless for 90% of people out there since they won't have the setting.

The rules are not perfect, but essentially this is how it works right now: there has to be some kind of player interaction between the players before a hostile action can be taken. Simple "hello, *shoots*" won't be accepted. This is after all a roleplaying server, you have to roleplay as a bandit - you can rob your offer from his gear and then do whatever you want with him. Many new people that come to the server complain about being killed by legit bandits, because they thought any kind of killing is forbidden. As of now the rules are enforced by looking at player data, server log and the what the involved players tell us. It's not perfect, and a few innocent people have been banned (to be unbanned shortly after). I am trying to implement a script that will show who killed who in the near future which will make it easier to pinpoint the abusers.

Exactly, and that's why nobody is forcing you to play if you don't like the concept! Bye!

You are of course welcome to have your opinion, but if you haven't played DayZ first days after the release then you wouldn't understand. My vision is to create something similar to first days of DayZ - where people didn't shoot on sight and instead tried to survive together.

That server already exists, look for RP1 on serverlist or visit www.dayzrp.com

6? You're a funny guy, aren't you. 2-3 servers with 50 players each is a max for that CPU.

Your config file - check it.

The ArmA2 game engine uses UDP for network communication. That's why we have so called desync ingame, as packets are not ACK'd and delivery is not reliable. TCP you are seeing is probably server browser traffic and queries. Notice how you don't have to port forward TCP for ArmA2 servers? Also I can't write a better guide, I'm a newbie at hosting ArmA2. I'm a network engineer though and just wanted to point out some errors in your guide. Lots of love <3 /Rolle

False statement. The 4GB RAM cap is for 32bit applications and is the same for Linux, it is an addressing limitation, regardless of OS. False statement. There are no noticable performance differences in network routing/processing or tunneling between Windows Server and Linux. You realize ArmA2 server mainly use UDP for communication? Optimizing TCP values seems... pointless. This will kill your upload speed, but if you're only running ArmA2 server on the box I guess it's ok. This won't change anything as most networks use standard MTU of 1500, unless jumbo frames are enabled (requires high-end hardware). Overall nice guide, but quite biased towards Linux and how better it is than Windows. Linux a good OS overall, but Windows Server 2008 isn't that bad either. I will try the -noCB parameter though :)

Hahaha, BF3 with max settings on a 5670 and 60FPS? Pics or it didn't happen. Yeah, like SSD improve framerates, rotfl.

You have clearly been playing on wrong servers ;)

Is the server on your LAN? Are you connecting with external IP? Maybe your router doesn't route loopback connections, try joining with internal IP instead.

I don't think it's related, disk is pretty much idle in resource monitor when someone is stuck on loading screen.

SE9 and SE10 run by Tansien are known to be stable and get updated very fast.

ArmA2 has an official Linux server freely available here so it's not a problem. The problem is the Arma2NET library that DayZ uses - it requires .NET Framework 4 to run, which obviously isn't available on Linux.

See my signature

Well, there kind of is a way, but you'd have to online when this happens. Make a list of all the players online and filter out those who got their leg broken. The guy that is left is the cheater.

What part of system specs was not good enough? GamingDeluxe website says It is more than anough for a DayZ server, even with the unnecessary high requirements from the DayZ staff. Maybe you filled the hardware specifications wrong? Did you mention that your server is from GamingDeluxe?

Try RP1, it's private though.

I didn't know about that, you never said anything and other people spammed chat yelling that a single guy killed 4 people. After the kills your humanity went below allowed level and that's why you were banned. If you want to appeal our forums are now open. Agreed, that's why we have these nice things called licenses that say describe what people can and can't do. In this case there isn't any license so I can freely use the software. I am not making any profit of it or doing any harm or damage to the rightful owner so I don't know what's the big deal.

SadTree, I am dissapoint. Are you are complaining about me for running a private server? (since DayZ lacks any kind of distribution license it's technically legal, ArmA2 mods are usually free to use) Or are you complaining about enforcing rules on my own private server? Or are you complaining about me banning the mentioned hacker? Or maybe you are complaining about me helping players that got hacked? Or maybe you are just butthurt because you killed innocent players on sight, on a role-playing server with strict PvP rules and got banhammer'd?

Technically it's not forbidden since DayZ files are not distributed with any kind of license, so they are free to use.
