Persistence and Public Servers

[Grundlesmuggler 41]

Sorry if this sounds dumb but do the public servers have persistence enable by default as the patch notes indicate?

 

I've read through some persistence posts but I don't know much about server hosting.  Can persistence be turned off on pub servers?

The hotfix yesterday supposedly fixed some issues with persistence. It's not unlikely that server owners didn't hear about it immediately and just haven't enabled it on their servers yet.

I see...so the public servers are run by someone who can switch the options then?  Or do they have all the default options on?  Again I'm sorry I know absolutely nothing about server hosting or the default server options, can't seem to find those anywhere :(

Official servers should have persistence enabled. Player owned servers have the option to enable/disable persistence, and at the moment some server hosts may not know persistence is working again so they have not re-enabled it yet.

The official servers "DE1-19 hosted by XXXX ( Persistance: ON )" are run by Bohemia Interactive and have persistance enabled by default.

 

Any other server admin can decide wether he wants to have it enabled or not. There still seem to be problems with it though ( server restarts, restart loops and so on )

 

Bottom line is: Persistance isn't reliable yet, so don't waste all your gaming time on finding a tent, its a 50/50 chance that it will bug to hell.

Oh ok cool, even with the hotfix it's that way?  Some of the posts I've read seem to indicate that with the hotfix they are all good to go.  

 

Thanks for the responses.

The issue im STILL having is only the Vilayer servers have if its on or off, for first person only, in a spot you can read it. I have Ghetto-net so my ping spikes often and Vilayer servers kick me with no warning and ends up deleting my character.
