How to check what server you're on?

Recommended Posts

I must be getting old because after 30 or more minutes after I've joined a server I can't remember the name of it.  This would be helpful if I were to get killed and wanted to recover my loot...or what remains.  Another useful reason which happened most recently would be to rejoin a server where I just met a friend who hadn't fully introduced themselves (thus, you can't search Steam for their activity).

 

I've tried the "history" server filter/tab, but it doesn't seem to work...just like the Favorites server tab - works sometimes and mostly not.

 

How can someone check what server their on AFTER they've joined it?

 

 

Thanks.

Play tab now allows you to re-join last server.

*******************************

Go to My Docs/DayZ/your name Profile/ scroll down until found :

 

lastMPServer="ip address is here"
lastMPServerName="Server Name is here."

Nice!!!...one of those "It's Alpha", "Don't get attached to your gear"-responding lapdogs...

 

Yes, I know that...and I also know a few other things:

 

1. Your typical KOS'er already has his weapon of choice.  He will typically just take your undamaged optics and ammo (even ruined - see note #2)...or as much as they can take.

2. Yes, you can recover ruined ammo by splitting it...yes, it's an exploit that most folks know.

3. Yes, most, if not all your equipment is ruined, but guess what?  You can still use a ruined backpack, vest, or multi-pocketed clothing to collect items until you find replacements.

 

If you wanted to respond like that...why not just bypass this post????  I actually gave a more relevant example regarding finding a newly made friend on a server whom I didn't get all the pertinent info to find him again like in Steam.

Thank you kind, sir...I never realized that (play tab) until now!!!

 

Also, thanks for the tip on finding it in the Var/config file.

Nice!!!...one of those "It's Alpha", "Don't get attached to your gear"-responding lapdogs...

1. The words "its alpha" were never typed by this chap.

2. "Don't get attached to your gear" has pretty much been a rule since day(z) 1 of the MOD.

3. Everyone knows this yet fools and imbeciles continually reply to posts with the same non-helpful information in order to bump up their post count.

 

Much like I'm doing right now.

Why?

 

1. It's a forum and I can speak my free mind and opinion after I stated mine you respond with "Why don't you bypass this post?"

2. Yes he will have his weapon of choice just like you can get your own 

3. Why do new players always ask the same questions when they see 90 million threads about the same thing? :)
