UK417 down

Recommended Posts

To all those who play on UK417 Public Hive you will probably have noticed it has been down for the last day.

I had some issues while trying to update to 1.7.5.1, and because I was constantly restarting it to see if I had fixed it, I put a temporary password on it (I was getting a lot of players trying to join every time I restarted).

1.7.5.1 just wouldn't work, and I could see no reason why in the logs, so I rolled back to 1.7.4.4 - this time I can see in HiveExt.log a message about 'permission denied (using password=YES)', even though the password was taken off by now, so it looks like the server has been blacklisted from the Hive :(

I have put in a Support Ticket, but as I have another open ticket I raised back in November about something else that never got answered, I am not holding out much hope it will get resolved - and if it doesn't, I will most likely turn this server into a Private Hive.

Apologies to all the regulars who had made their home and camps on that server, thanks for making this the No1 Public server in the UK over the past months.

I thought I'd save you some time. To put it bluntly, your support ticket won't be answered as there is no support team to answer it at the moment.

That was the impression I got too mate, no chance of getting this sorted at all then? It is a shame, as we had a lot of regulars on there, and it was only passworded for about an hour while I was stopping/starting it all the time!

I didn't actually play on it (I play on my Private Hive), but I know how frustrating it is when your 'home' server closes and you lose all your camps etc :(

Sorry mate. The community support team that used to deal with these tickets simply doesn't exist any more so there is literally nobody to help. I know it sucks but it's the truth. We have started building a new team but it's gonna take some time.

Yeh, again sorry but it's just the way things are. All of the the support for public hives was voluntary and when the game exploded in popularity the small team just couldn't keep up and basically disbanded. When private hives started to become the norm that was pretty much the nail in the coffin.

It's fine mate, all my clan members play on our Private Hive anyway, and a few of them have been asking for another server running a different map so now is the time to do it!

I just feel sorry for the regulars - but for any of those looking for a new home that is well admined I recommend UK410 :)

That does suck tbh. Understanable when its ran by volunteers. Just makes me wonder what the point is in renting a public DayZ server atm. We're (UK498) still having issues as well.. Basicly from the point we started renting our server untill now. I've send an email to Matt Lightfoot regarding our issues, but Im not keeping my hopes up. Hope the (serverside) support is alot better for the standalone.. :-(
