mdude2312 3 Posted April 14, 2014 I'm not sure if this is the correct area to post this, so excuse me if I'm in the wrong section. The gaming community that I am a part of has recently decided to restore their DayZ Mod Vanilla server, but we can't get it to run correctly. Every time someone tries to connect, we get stuck at "Requesting Authentication" and "Retrying Authentication," eventually leading to "Authentication failed, disconnect and try again" and being kicked back to the lobby. We've reinstalled the entire DayZ Mod on the server. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, as we're banging our heads into a wall right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheWizard14 372 Posted April 14, 2014 One of the many great bugs that was very common in the mod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdude2312 3 Posted April 14, 2014 Yeah I know, so there must be a fix for it... right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kichilron 8550 Posted April 15, 2014 Please do not bump your topic as quickly. If there is someone around, you will get help. Bumping within minutes is not the way you should do it. what have you done to your server? What did you change? I suppose it's not vanilla, as it wouldn't be happening then. We need an awful lot more information from your side, so we can work with something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdude2312 3 Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) No, we literally haven't changed anything. We had an anti-hack and admin tools script, but other than that it was completely vanilla --WAS. We completely reinstalled the mod on our side to make it 100% vanilla, and we still get the error. As for bumping too quickly, sorry. I'll make sure not to do it again. EDIT: The host is our own box, we have a box from infoservers. Edited April 15, 2014 by mdude2312 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
them18pro 28 Posted April 15, 2014 Get with the server providers/box providers and ask them to re install the server for you. Had this problem with Vilayer and once they did that it worked great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kichilron 8550 Posted April 15, 2014 No, we literally haven't changed anything. We had an anti-hack and admin tools script, but other than that it was completely vanilla --WAS. Was that preinstalled with the package? It sounds like you have done something wrong on the serverside. What does your ARMA2OASERVER.RPT tell you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdude2312 3 Posted April 15, 2014 I am not 100% certain, I don't have access to the files. I'm kinda a proxy right now, our tech guy is offline. I'll have him post and let you look at what's going on when he comes back online. I appreciate the help you're giving me! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdude2312 3 Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) Here's the majority of what our .rpt was showing us (mind you the entire thing was 24000 lines) http://pastebin.com/JvbRuGp3 EDIT: From what I can tell, it looks like it might be an issue connecting to the hive. I've not worked with this much before, like I said I'm working as a proxy right now so I might not even know what I'm talking about. lol Edited April 15, 2014 by mdude2312 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdude2312 3 Posted April 15, 2014 Just got back from class, looking at the log file. The error with connecting to the server seems to have to do starting with line 73. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kichilron 8550 Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) Just got back from class, looking at the log file. The error with connecting to the server seems to have to do starting with line 73. You seem to have an awful lot of errors in your dayz_server.pbo, more specifically in the "AHdayz6.sqf" - which is most likely your Antihack. Try commenting that out and report back. 16:41:44 Error in expression <_x; if (_dist < 9000) then { systemchat format['%1(%2) not in PlayableUnits',nam> 16:41:44 Error position: <format['%1(%2) not in PlayableUnits',nam> 16:41:44 Error Missing ; 16:41:44 File z\addons\dayz_server\init\AHdayz6.sqf, line 1778 16:41:44 Error in expression <_x; if (_dist < 9000) then { systemchat format['%1(%2) not in PlayableUnits',nam> 16:41:44 Error position: <format['%1(%2) not in PlayableUnits',nam> 16:41:44 Error Missing ; 16:41:44 File z\addons\dayz_server\init\AHdayz6.sqf, line 1778 16:41:44 "Res3tting B!S effects..." 16:41:44 "HIVE: Starting" 16:41:44 "HIVE: Request sent" 16:41:44 Error in expression <1:",dayZ_instance]; _result = _key call server_hiveReadWrite; diag_log "HIVE: R> 16:41:44 Error position: <server_hiveReadWrite; diag_log "HIVE: R> 16:41:44 Error Undefined variable in expression: server_hivereadwrite 16:41:44 File z\addons\dayz_server\system\server_monitor.sqf, line 48 16:41:44 Error in expression <key = "CHILD:307:"; _result = _key call server_hiveReadWrite; _outcome = _result> 16:41:44 Error position: <server_hiveReadWrite; _outcome = _result> If all fails, download the default dayz_server.pbo that can be found under "server files" here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/149928-dayz-mod-1803-hotfix/ Edited April 15, 2014 by kichilron 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdude2312 3 Posted April 18, 2014 Sorry for the late reply, we had trouble even getting our server provider to let us host any more game servers. We've done everything you suggested - reinstalled the dayz_server.pbo, and commented out the anti-hack. Now we have a somewhat similar error; instead of getting stuck on a constant "Requesting Authentication/Retrying Authentication" loop, I get stuck on "Waiting for server to start authentication" and then get timed out and kicked back to lobby. Thoughts? Btw, .rpt: http://pastebin.com/Gad2a3z9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xProlithium (DayZ) 13 Posted April 18, 2014 Hey guys, I am the technical person trying to get the server up for mdude and the rest of our gaming community, we are the old US264. Now we did as instructed, removed all of the old @DayZ, @Hive, dayz.bikey, and the four .dll files from the server. Then proceeded to install a fresh, full version of DayZ. Now, last time I did not see any communication with the hive what-so-ever. This time, I do see that wonderfully beautiful green text indicating that it has connected to the hive, but when we attempt to join we still get a Waiting for server to start authentication. The above RPT file is a fragment of the whole thing, simply because that is the only part of the RPT that contains any kind of errors. I also checked the HiveExt.log and there aren't any indications of errors there. After reading into the "Waiting for server to start authentication", in multiple places, it states it is an issue to do with the database the server is trying to connect to. That's pretty much the only information I can give and we will wait for any kind of response / feedback in hopes of fixing this issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kichilron 8550 Posted April 19, 2014 Going by your .rpt you might have an old version of the dayz_server or even a wrong DB. Feel free to send me a PM / add me on Steam, if you feel comfortable with me sorting your server out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
