Server stuck at "creating".

[darky (DayZ) 4]

Hello Serveradmins,

anyone here had the problem that his server stuck at "creating"?

My Server is launching and showing:

21:01:55 Dedicated host created.

21:01:55 BattlEye Server: Initialized (v1.149)

21:01:56 Host identity created.

After that Players can cannot an will be identified:

21:20:07 Player Somebody connecting.

21:20:08 Player Somebody connected (id=12345678).

21:20:08 BattlEye Server: Player #0 Somebody (123.34.5.67:2304) connected

21:20:08 BattlEye Server: Player #0 Somebody - GUID: n21nndenasndu1jnasdxa22112 (unverified)

21:20:08 BattlEye Server: Verified GUID (n21nndenasndu1jnasdxa22112) of player #0 Somebody

21:20:15 BattlEye Server: IMPORTANT: BattlEye's script detection feature has been improved! See here for more information: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?131759-New-BattlEye-features-for-server-admins&p=2192402&viewfull=1#post2192402.

But here it ends. Player can connect and disconnect but they are stuck at a black screen saying "Wait for Host" while the Server shows "creating" as status in the Ingame Browser without a current running map.

Any tips or ideas how to fix or what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,

darky

if you ping dayz.phx.hostaltitude.com what is the result?

have you referenced your mission file in server.cfg?

If anyone else struggle into this problem you should check that:

• The template Variable inside /etc/server.cfg is NO string but "plain text" e.g
  template = dayz_1234.Chernarus;
  and NOT:
  template = "dayz_1234.Chernarus";
  
• The Mission in the /etc/server.cfg has the class named "DayZ"
  

Thanks to facoptere for the help to get my server up and running and even more for providing a nice and working linux script collection!

I have exactly the same problem, but I've already done what you're saying here and I still have the problem.

I have done everything on the to-do list two times, and I still can't get this working.

class DayZ {

template = dayz_XXXX.Chernaus;

difficulty = "veteran"; // change this for other difficulty settings, regular, expert is valid

};

- check RPT log file about some syntax errors or things not found.

- do a ping to the hive

- the devteam mail contains some typos!! It is Chernarus and not Chernaus (missing the second R)

- please give us the command line you use to launch the server and the full location of server.cfg, xxxx.ArmA2OAProfile and ArmA2OA.cfg
