Thank you! That would have been just after a server restart, so may have joined a bit too early and respawned?

Just received word that Vilayer are adding this option back in as a scheduled task! Should have it within 24 hours.

We're taking a different approach and we've disabled the whitelist! So come and start your 1PP Adventure!

Reached rank number 1 on Gametracker :D Glad to see people enjoying the server so much. We might have to re-think loot a bit though, as Vilayer removed the ability to reset persistence on a scheduled task, so have to do it all manually now.

I don't get their reason behind it. I can do it manually, but I don't want to have to do it manually every restart, so a scheduled task would be a huge help. It's just like if I wanted to add in 2 hour restarts, I wouldn't manually restart it when I wanted the extra restart, I'd setup the scheduled task...

In the scheduled task yea :/ I got a slave shard with them, and it didn't have the option, so sent a ticket in and they said they were yet to add it to slave shards too. Got a reply back today saying their development team wanted it removing altogether for whatever reason, so neither master or slave have it as a scheduled task now. Could try sending a ticket in, too. If enough kick up a fuss they might add it back in.

Download Notepad++ (it's free) and when you download the log file right click on it and click "Edit with Notepad++" and it'll open the file. I reset the persistence on mine with every 4 hour restart. In the scheduled tasks, you should have an option to reset persistence. Set this up to run with each 4 hour restart.

Our second server is now live! We now have a whitelisted 1st Person server connected to our master hive, so you can now bring characters between the two servers! http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/224135-uka-dayz-uk-alliance-1pp-whitelist-40-slot-london-uk/

Info in top post.

Current loot situation on our server - We wipe the persistence with every 4 hour restart, so there's fresh loot every 4 hours. Bit of an annoying workaround as we were enjoying persistance being on (when it worked!). We also went back to 4 hour restarts as we figured people are travelling further now in the bid to survive, so 2 hour restarts feel a bit short when you're trekking across the map!

Vilayer changed their logs recently. Instead of going in to one file they're split up per scheduled restart.

Had some issues yesterday with loot. Vilayer added the option to disable persistence, but then we had no loot whatsoever, so we re-enabled it and got loot spawning again. Server's a lot quieter though unfortunately as of 0.55.

Is loot spawning though? I'm with vilayer and turned it off and had no loot at all.

My space bar's been having to take a beating majority of evenings too to refresh the server haha

Thought it may be worth noting I cut down a lot of the BEC server messages. Figured they could get quite annoying, especially if you enjoy recording!

Server's now unlocked and business as usual.

I kept my BEC server with Multiplay. Latest version, and great interface to use it with. Even if Vilayer had the latest version, it was horrid to use eitherway. No access to the BEC logs, no access to the actual BEC config file etc etc. Either way with Vilayer, I'm on a final chance with them. We had an unintentional wipe with 0.54, too, as well as last week. Server disappearing. The server stopped restarting recently, too, so yet more issues to deal with. Despite hosting my BEC server with Multiplay, I did have a public server with them a couple of months ago, and had server issues (20 minutes to get the server back online after each 4 hour restart etc), so moved to Vilayer when opening private server. Guess if I do move I'll try Fragnet next.

The server will be locked at 4pm GMT tonight for an event this evening. Sorry for any inconvenience! More details on our events page on our site.

I got the same "BI Private Hive update" excuse when my private hive with Vilayer was wiped on Wednesday, too. My server also crashed and was unavailable for 3 days. I didn't get a reply back from them about it for 2 days, although they did compensate me the days it was down for, but nearly 48 hours with no reply or notice with no idea what's going on with the server.

Photoshopping them out is easy enough.

Well I think this has been blown completely out of proportion haha

Fingers crossed! If we keep having problems, we're considering switching providers as we had a wipe with the release of 0.54 unintentionally as well, but let's hope it doesn't get to that. And glad you enjoy the server :)

We got a reply off of Vilayer saying it was due to a private hive upgrade. How true that is I don't know. We've put the server to 2 hour restarts temporarily to compensate for it! We have an event Saturday evening and people were geared and ready for it, so was quite annoying for a lot of players on it.

Thought as much, thanks, just wanted to check.
