Server Resets are getting a bit frustrating.

[Etherious 907]

Uh, how is this possible?  Vilayer specifically told me that servers are on a 4 hour restart only and can't be changed.  

 

Also, I have never had server performance issues.

Oh, I just used their time restart function to make it two hours and to restart at a certain time within the game day. Also, maybe it's just my shitty ISP being hateful towards me.

Ya, it also doesn't help that I seem to have a knack for joining servers within 10-15 mins of a restart. =(

Maybe the devs will make a clean up script of sorts for servers. It'll despawn and respawn all entities, except vehicles and bases when they come out, and make them fresh as to keep them from degrading. Maybe it'd lag the server for a few minutes, but wouldn't restart.

I wonder what causes the server to lag down all the time.

I remember on the mod I played on a server that restarted every hour and it felt like too much. Broke immersion and made it weird.

Any server with 1-2 hour restarts are full of people just trying to get loot or admins Abusing their powers

Don't play on these servers and find some servers where the restart times are in the bottom left messages

Also make note of the server and add it to your favourites

This is bullshit. As of the last patch, my server was forced to a 2-hour reset schedule on gameservers, and I was told that this was a decision handed down by the developers without any choice in the matter- and as such, I have no option as a server owner to do anything about it. 

 

Don't go blaming server owners for everything you dislike just because you dont have the wherewithal to do some research and find out what is exactly going on first.

Does anyone know if they are planning to make it so scheduled/intended resets (either a #Shutdown or #Restart command) make the server pause and send all player info to the hive before it actually shuts down? That would solve the problem I think. It would also stop naughty admins from being able to come back to life their stuff by killing the server when they die.

So the people who have 1 hour or 30min restarts have also been forced to do this

Sure

And I don't believe that for a second, there are servers run by gameservers running on 3 and 4 hour restarts, I just looked

Believe what you want.

 

 

I don't know how else to prove to you that you are wrong in casting blanket aspersions without actually being in our shoes (server admins renting from gameservers.)

This ticket was submitted because the change was made at the last patch, and as usual gameservers gives absolutely *NO* information to its customers. It required me submitting a ticket because I was under the assumption that my server was crashing every 2 hours- and this was the response i got.

 

So I dont know what servers you *think* are hosted by gameservers that are actually on a 3(?) or 4-hour restart, and how you came up with that idea, but I know what I was told, and that screenshot above is more proof backing up my claim than you have backing up yours.

I just played for an hour or so on the ZombZ server. It restarted, and upon reconnecting, I was a fresh spawn. This is strange since I was in the middle of the woods running from Gvozdno to NWAF.

 

Intriguing.
