I want to say that having Side Chat turned on can get your server blacklisted, trust me. I want it on on my server to help others and encourage people to be more of a community, but can't.

You can help others by using Direct, good luck seeing each other without one of you opening fire immediately though.

You can help others by using Direct <- thats a joke' date=' right?

It wasn't a joke, I was saying that is what we are limited to as server admins atm. I am not sure how you could misunderstand my intention, I was expressing the same frustration that you were, and saying that if you want to help people you can only have a possibility to do so in Direct (which sucks). If you turn Side Chat/Global Chat on for your server, your server will get blacklisted for breaking that rule, I already spoke to a Dev yesterday asking if we were allowed to enable it at server admin's discretion.

So, nope...

Are you using the right password? It's the RCON password you set in the Battleye config file under the DayZ config folder.

you mean the "cfgdayz\BattlEye\beserver.cfg" ? the beserver.cfg is empty.

and the \cfgdayz\BattlEye\BEServer_active_447f.cfg ->

RConPassword "mypassword^^"

MaxPing 200

But with the "RConPassword" i have a "could not connect"

Not sure then. You should be able to connect with it.

If you want you can PM me a screenshot of the RCON details you have set up. You should also change that RCON password to something stronger.

If you are launching the console on the box that is hosting the server, you need to use 127.0.0.1 as the server IP.

If the cfgdayz\BattlEye\beserver.cfg is empty, try adding RCONPASSWORD = yourpasswordhere to the first line.

There are basically two settings allowed in that file RCONPASSWORD and MAXPING.
