Server Difficulty Changes Not Saving

[cashmerelc 0]

Hi all, I just started hosting a server and it is working great, but I've changed the difficulty settings to expert in both the config.xml file as well as the server.cfg file and it isn't making the change on the server.

I read a similar thread last week but can't find it anywhere. Anyone have similar issues and been able to figure it out?

Thanks!

Figured I would update this since I've managed to get the settings to change and someone else may have the same question.

What I had to do was edit the 'Regular' difficulty setting to match those of Expert, since the server is stuck on regular difficulty. This worked perfectly.

These settings are found in the cfgdayz.ArmA2OAProfile file.

You can set the difficulty in the server.cfg

// MISSION CYCLE (see below)
class Missions
{
     class DayZ {
          template = dayz_xxx.Chernarus
          difficulty = "veteran";
     };
};

where template = Mission name (seems to be formated dayz_.Chernarus)

The available difficulties for DayZ are: regular, veteran, expert

I changed the difficulty from "regular" to "expert" but I didn't realize the instance ID needed to be considered.

It really comes down to whatever the mission is named. Mine is formatted by the devs like that: dayz_xxx.Chernarus

So yours may differ. It's what is ever in the MPMissions folder.
