It's not on their list of games, so I thought they weren't hosting it anymore: http://www.gamingdeluxe.co.uk/game-servers

I rented a dedicated where the operating system is windows server 2008, and when I install the ArmA2 the following error occurs: multi-gigabyte range LZ77 preprocessor http://freearc.org/sresearch/srep.aspx stopped working. Anyone know how to fix this?

Now this is awesome, by far the most detailed and helpful post. "Advise" use this post in combination with this to find dayz server hosting prices.

HI Guys,

Sorry about the long hiatus. Some pretty crazy stuff has been happening with me since I started all of this, and I couldn't update any of the reserved posts. I'm sincerely sorry.

I'll be sifting through these posts and updating the reserved threads to reflect all of your excellent information. To those of you who reached out to me directly via PM, I will do my best to follow up quickly.

Cheers!

Just for poops and giggles...

I just set up my own server and finally got everything working properly. I tried using your ArmA2OAProfile settings for the Veteran difficulty with changing some stuff but I kept running into a problem where the map looked like a BluForce tracker(showed any vehicles/players/zombies near you) and if I set a waypoint on my map, it wouldn't show up when I went to the HUD. I sat here the past 2 hours trying to figure it out and I finally did. The following parameters need to be set like this if you run into the same problem:

hudPerm=0; // (0,1) Permanently show or disable the HUD

hudWp=1; // shows Waypoints right after they're ordered to you

hudWpPerm=0; // ALWAYS DISABLED - Shows Waypoints permanently

map=0; // (0,1) ALWAYS DISABLED - Enable or Disable Waypoints on the map DO NOT TURN ON ACTS LIKE BLUFORCE TRACKER

I apologize if it has been posted but Google, the search function here, nothing was turning up any results.

if u wanna know a good server to start, go to CA#1 ... server is noob friendly, but also has clan on clan action and recruiting if you are interested in some tactical warfare in a zombie apocalypse!

Why do you post here ?

I think you had better read the rules.

Thank God he's updating this. I thought it was dead.

What's wrong with all these hosts?

EDIT2: Oh dear lord. Hmm...I would probably rent a server from LowPing, Elpis or Gaming Deluxe. So far, so good. (Just to clarify, I meant as a server host for different games. Looking at TotalSimplicity, it probably is an incomplete website. My website looks kinda like that, only mine doesn't include anything cool.

Hi, I'm writing you to see if you can help me here. A friend has a server, but seems like many vehicles in the server are like glitched. Some spawn like god mode, you cannot destroy them, some cars would just explode by themselves when driving. Some vehicles leak fuel even though they are fully repaired.

Is there any way to debug the server? Or like do a defrag or something like that? How would we be able to fix all the vehicle issues in the server? Thanks!

Greetings,

 

Can you give us some more information about your friends server.  For example:

 

1. Is this a Public Hive server or Private?

2. What vehicles specifically are blowing up when you drive them?

3. Are you sure they're not blowing up because they are severely damaged and showing red for the Engine?

4. Which vehicles are you trying to destroy and how?

 

Regards,

Как создать сервер ?

Hello, I am wishing to set up a ArmA 2 Dayz Server, and this link: (https://support.dayz...confproduct&i=0) used for asking to be allowed to setup a public server does not work, any way to get an updated link if one exists?

You're trying to get a server whitelisted so you can join it to the official hive, yes?

I believe that is what I am trying to accomplish.

Ok, I'll check with Razor.  He's the man for the job, and can get you set up.

Thats great, also, where would someone find the files for the dayz mod server? (not the game itself)

Great thanks, but where is a download of @dayz_server?

Edited June 18, 2014 by evilcaspero

[TG ! Jimmy 216]

If you download the "Full download: Server files" the particular file dayz_server.pbo lives within the @Hive\Addons\ directory inside there.

 

Does this help?

 

Cheers,

Jimmy

So whats the news on the link? It still does not work. (https://support.dayzmod.com/cart.php?a=confproduct&i=0)

I will forward it to r4z0r49

[r4z0r49 4761]

We have no way to assign new ids as we have no idea what ones are being used everything we originally had to track this has now been closed down (out of our hands). I'm waiting to get hold of Hicks again to find out the fate of the hive but pretty much at this point we have zero control over it.

 

You would be better just now to setup a local db.

[TG ! Jimmy 216]

As of right now the official hive is down.  It was hosted via HFB Servers, and they seem to have faded into the mist.  Allegedly the CEO sold the company off a few months ago (without so much as a notice to clients) and the new owner/s were going to overhaul everything. 

 

Take this for what you will, but the Official Hive is going to suffer for some time.  

 

Like Razor suggests, I'll be launching a private hive server for the meantime.

 

Cheers,

Jimmy
