Get a headset with a mic. All in one. Plus, I find with a headset, you can pinpoint sound/hear things better than with speakers in-game.

Ours is a public hive, and our heli always respawns on restart, if it crashes. There is a bug where on occasion, it will respawn at the crash site and blow up, but the server admins will have to deal with that. Ours did, until we got a new instance. :/

I'm getting this, as of this morning. Any ideas? 13:00:31 Received invalid data from BE Master (6) 13:00:31 Update attempt failed

Youtube it, my friend. There are several really good videos that explain it very well.

Nah, people can submit proof of your hacking and it will be reviewed and then added to the global ban. What most likely happened is you were hacking at another time, and it finally got approved and set up in the system last night.

You're just got to get comfortable with what is normal and what isn't. You have several logs that show up in your cfgdayz > BattleEye, namely your setpos.log, remoteexec.log, publicvariable.log, and createvehicle.log. These all log things people on your server are doing. For example, setpos.log logs people who are teleporting, but you have to make a judgement call whether they are teleporting or whether someone else is teleporting them. Because you don't want to ban someone for being teleporting by a hacker. The remoteexec.log is almost always a hack, but it also puts in things like if someone is flying the heli and they crash it. So you have to watch that. Publicvariable.log records peoples deaths and if you set it up like I have mine, it kicks people for having illegit weapons and then put a log of it. (Though it doesn't always tell you what they had that was legit.) The createvehicle.log just logs a bunch of stuff, like when someone throws a grenade or sets up a tent. You have to watch that for hacked in stuff. (The scripts.log doesn't seem to show anything useful, by the way.) It isn't perfect. I for one know I have a clan of hackers on my server, but I can't find anything in the logs about it. Last night, they flashed some stuff across the screen, even, but I don't know who did it and my log files show nothing, so I don't feel comfortable just banning the whole clan. It's frustrating as hell. But the best thing to do is to just watch the logs and see what happens. You can especially pay attention to what log files show up for you, and then you'll know what the log is telling you. There's also a arma2oaserver.rpt that records a bunch of things that is interesting to look at and see what's happening on your server. Anyway, that's what I've learned. And when I asked around, I was just told to get used to what's normal and what's not. It's a learning curve. And I'm certainly hoping the standalone deals with this better.

I have a clan on my server where several of the members keep getting the seagull error. I've had a server for awhile now, so I know that it is random, and that it isn't always a hack. But how do I tell if it is? I mean, to have 4 seagulls in the same clan a night just seems unreasonable to me....especially when before they came on, I would have one or two a month.

We had the same problem until I switched around beta versions. Try that....

Okay, we've had a lot of issues with our server the last month. Public hive, it's on 1.7.4.4, but I don't think we're getting any heli crashes. I used to be able to find the code in the arma2oaserver.rpt for heli crashes. Can anyone look in their files and tell me if the code still shows up for them in the .rpt files? Or anywhere I'm missing?

Can someone post a copy of their code for it? And yeah, I had 3 restarts show on my latest .rpt log, and nothing. The only UH1H code things I get are for the actual heli.

My helicopter is nightly being fixed and crashed on the island. Today, in my logs, I found this: Over and over again. Any ideas?

Still don't know what it's doing, but just after I posted that, my server stopped connecting to the hive, and now HFB is trying to figure out what is going on. *sigh* Second time this month my servers been down through an issue with the files or the connection.....

It's the default for code in BB code...but i changed it. Sorry. I'm mostly worried cause for a month and a half, our heli blew up on server restart, so we didn't have one. We finally reset the server, and now I'm getting that. And the .rpt has changed enough that I'm not sure what is what anymore. Thanks, Paddy, hopefully that's all it is.

We've found several in ATVs, too. They spawn on them. Not always, but sometimes.

You're looking in the right spot. We usually find them in supermarkets. If it's a private server, they may have adjusted the rate that they spawn and lowered it to make it harder to camp up.

Anyone know what this is?

Anyone know?

What do you do about dupers on your server? I have a group of 3 who are talking in direct chat, so I can see it on my DART, and they're talking all about their duping. And then they keep leaving and rejoining.

That's how it works. Like Welch said, just turn it off. If you need to see how much blood you have or want to gloat over your zombie count, turn it back on in a safe place, and then turn it off again.

My first player that wasn't a friend of mine already was someone we saw run into the cherno supermarket. My friend and I, fresh spawns armed with a side arm (him) and a hatchet (me), decide to take him out. So we sneak around, my friend goes in the front, i go around back. The guy only has a hatchet, but ends up taking out my friend. I sneak around, he's on the main side of the cabinet, looting my friend, so he doesn't even see me. I smack him with a hatchet and he falls over. I start looting my friend and notice that the makarov is missing and suddenly, on the corner of my screen, i notice the guy is moving. I get a sick feeling in my stomach and in my haste to close the gear menu, hit the wrong button and he shoots me dead with my friend's pistol. Good times. We laughed. One of only two times I've tried killing a guy. I suck at pvp.

Yes, your skin remains. The bandit, to the best of my knowledge, does not have the bug that reset their humanity. If you don't like the hero skin, you can go camo or gillie.

Nope, humanity carries over. If you get the hero skin, there is a bug where the debug resets to 0 everytime you log in, but the hive keeps your humanity correct.

The debug monitor was never meant to stay in the game. It was meant as a tool while they worked out the kinks. You'll also find that when you have the debug monitor on, your other icons won't work. Your drink and food won't go red. They'll stay green. And then you'll start losing blood from being hungry and thirsty. If you want to monitor your humanity, my suggestion is to turn it on for a few minutes when you're in a safe spot and then turn it back off. But if you're insistent on keeping it on, changing your resolution in game, and then logging out and back in, will make the debug smaller.

True. Done. They duped and placed about 50 satchel charges around devil's castle on my server, *sigh*.

It's my own server, but a public hive. And duping is where they log off in a certain way and it creates and exact image of their body. So they can duplicate everything on them. Tent duping is different, and that's a dayz bug, not something someone can do deliberately. This is deliberate.

Like Blunt says, try using the alt+tab to get back in. My windows randomly minimizes my games a lot (usually at the WORST possible moments) and I can alt+tab back in.
