Hive 0.8.0.0 --"This server is running an incorrect version..."

[joikd 25]

Per Ander's thread regarding mandatory hive updating for public servers to 0.8.0.0, my server is now unplayable with the "server is running an incorrect version" message. The only thing I changed were the hive files.

I had this issue when 1.7.3 first came out, but read that using hive .0.7.x.x worked (and it did), so I downgraded from .0.8.0.0. So, it is directly related to .0.8.0.0.

Any help would be appreciated.

welcome to the club.

I tried contacting the dayz staff as it says, by submitting a ticket but no answer for a week now.

A week ago?!?! Is this a widespread, known issue? If so, I don't understand why hive 0.8.0.0 is being forced on us. At least 0.7.x.x was working.

I was playing this afternoon, logged out of my homeserver and when I tried to log back in an hour later. No servers worked for me. "Invalid server version"-thingy text.

So I join the SAVE US cry here.

have you tried using the 0.9.6.6 hive files ftp://dayzcommander:[email protected]/

or you could reinstall http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8328 and try again

I did the first suggestion a while ago already, but it was a no-go.

I tried the second a little while ago. It got the server to "briefing", then hung, so I left it. It now works!!!!!

Thanks everybody. We are back in business!!!

How do you update to these files? *engage nooob admin* :(

[joikd 25]

Google "dayz support". Log in. Go to "client area", "my services", "view details", then "download: server files". Follow the instructions on the text file to get to the files.

I finally managed to finagle Defcon servers staff to help get this file so it could be downloaded. The login for support just wouldn't work. :( Server working finally though so yay! Thank you for help.
