Question for Server admins only

[sloppzz 3]

Hi fellow sever admins,

I have a questions regarding GUID's

WHen i use BERcon i can obviously see what players are logged into the server.

I had an incident the other night where the server posted a battleye message about banning 11,000 people so far for hacking etc. This usually indicates that it has found someone using something suspicious as each time someone normally gets kick banned from the server.

When i do a players command in BERcon i get this:

0496523d5d56b68117095a2805f2363d(?) ace

but every other player will have (OK) next to their name.

Obviously to me that indicates that either they are using a dodgy cd key, or spoofing one perhaps to cover themselves as they are already banned? I left it for 10 minutes to see if the players status would change to OK, which it didnt so i kindly asked them to look into it and they instantly logged off.

Now it could be something out of nothing, but the server says his GUID is unverified, so i thought id ask fellow server admins for their advice and guidance.

THanks in advance

Have these players just joined your server?

When a player joins, they GUID gets recorded as unverified. After a short period of time, BattlEye marks the GUID as "verified" (usually a few seconds, could take a minute or so).

If this was happening a lot last night, I noticed a few times in my logs that BE lost connection to BE Master. Happened 3 or 4 times over the course of a couple of hours. There master servers may have been having issues last night. I know there is a lot of unbanning going on right now.

He had been on the server since i rebooted it to install the latest patch. But it had been up and running about 15 to 20 minutes, so i'd have expected it to change. Because 4 other players had logged in and all the other players had (OK) next to their name.

Like i say i politely asked him if he could log out and log back in to verify it using say -1 global say.... but he instantly logged out and didnt come back.
