Zeusgg 0 Posted July 21, 2012 I was running through the fields north-west of Stary towards the deer stands with a couple of my squad buddies, all of the sudden 2-3 snipers open fire on us from the northern tree line dropping one. Me and the other survivor sprint southwest all the way to the tree line to safety dodging shots the entire way. After we clear a small hill with trees we both turn around and search for them in the treeline. Not more than 30seconds later the server shuts down and when we leave to find it in the list we see that it's locked with around 5-6 people in it. The server stayed locked for around 5 minutes before it goes back to open. When we log back in my buddies corpse was gone and they are nowhere to be seen for the 20minutes that we still camped and searched for them. Not saying this is 100% cheating or admin-related, but it all seemed very fishy and the fact that we couldn't finish the fight sort of ruined the night for us.

Guest Posted July 21, 2012 If they use Battleye Extended Controls, then they might have flood control on, which locks the server if too many people join at once. Considering you didn't kill the people shooting at you, it's unlikely the server was taken down on purpose because of you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeusgg 0 Posted July 21, 2012 Does "Battleye Extended Controls" shut down the server when it's flooded? If not then this is not the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wotane 0 Posted July 21, 2012 As with most servers, the server automatically restarts without warning, as far as I'm aware there is no other way. As I'm the only one who can restart the server, which btw is called US 914 now, nope!Also, with most servers, the server will automatically lock when X number of people are in the lobby. That way it doesn't get overwhelmed by people attempting to reconnect after it restarts.Also, why would I restart the server to make your corpse disappear without going to loot it? Seems a little strange.I haven't even been on the DayZ server in a while :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EnPfhy 0 Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) I can confirm that Wotane's server does use the battleye extended controls. He's my homie and his server is one of our clans (True Grit) official servers. He's the only one that has admin as far as I know, and he's not even in the server in that screenshot. And I have never seen his server passworded.He's also mentioned more than once how serious the rules are, and that you can't ban people at will/lock the server, or you get blacklisted. He's offered me admin before (though I don't have it, because I hate responsibility) for the single purpose or restarting the server if it's laggy, but again, he's stressed how important the rules are, and not to ever do anything even remotely shady, or you can get blacklisted.Yes, Wotane smells like old cheese, and does infact have very tiny man parts, but to his credit, he does have integrity when it comes to this server.On a related note, I can tell you that in True Grits 6+ year history as one of the most popular CSS servers in the US (#1 actually for a server with a rotation and stock CSS) we do not take affiliates lightly. We have turned down many many people, including clanmates in the past, who wanted to host a server and have it be affiliated with TG. If Wotane actually did stuff like that we wouldn't be associated with him at all. The tiny pen0r we can accept, but not something like locking a server for your own advantage, that would never be OK.
