how many vehicles exactly on the server?

Saying HI to the admins here. My buddy Armitage and I have been playing around on this server. A little low pop at times but a nice experience so far -- good, responsive server. Hopefully more people will start joining. Might hop onto mumble in the future.

Also saying hi! We've really enjoyed this server so far. Would love to see more people on it in the future.

I apologize for not being able to keep up here, the forums are always iffy for me. However, we are constantly keeping an eye on our Website should people stop by! Anyone is welcome to stop in and say 'Hi', ask questions, and make themselves at home!

We have had no issues with scripters since 10/7, and that was a single case that was quickly taken care of. Downtime has been minimal, but we do apologize for the last few days. Bliss v3.5 had issues on some servers and SurvivalServers staff worked throughout the weekend to get it fixed quickly! Big Thanks to them!

how many vehicles exactly on the server?

I do not have an exact number offhand but it is somehwere in the range of 15-25 with 2 Helis. We may up that but it is undecided yet.

Thank for stopping by! The server is still fairly new so still growing. The recent downtime was also a major hit that we're still recovering from.

Mumble is open to all those who stop-by the Bearcats home, and we're always happy to see new faces!

If anyone has any questions, concerns, or other, I will be happy to help as best I can via any contact method; Online, Mumble, PM, Steam, or here!

Ugh the ping issue is just unbearable! I can't walk across town without getting kicked from having a ping of like 2000 at 4 seperate times! It's made helicopters useless because you just can't fly em for long before getting kicked (we have not been able to keep a helicopter for more than 2 days so far!), and when im driving cars i'll get kicked from the game, but the car will keep rolling and crash into the nearest barricade, breaking it's engine or tires. I've gone through 5 cars in the last 3 days, 5 CARS...

If there is any way to fix this issue, PLEASE do it! I love this server and I would hate to see it be ruined by this issue. I hope others feel the same way as I do towards this

[xcelsior 53]

Due to power issues from Hurricane Sandy I was unable to respond to this issue. However, we do have a post regarding this on our forums; http://bearcats18.enjin.com/forumz/m/6288053/viewthread/4704151-ping-issues

From our very, very small tests, it's not the server. One of our Sub-Admins lives just West of the host and through a trace route has no issues with ping. However, my own ping, which comes from south-west of the server gets very bad spikes going through DC. Given the time of year, it's not surprising. However, without more input from players we have 0 (read; zero) way of knowing the exact origin of the issue. If we can get several tests we can pinpoint the issue.

I would like to thank those who stuck through the ping issues we had a few weeks ago. They seems to have settled after the storm and election passed and all is back to normal.

We have also resolved (to the best of our knowledge) the issues with unbanning through Anti-Hax. For some unknown reason it would reapply the ban but we seem to have resolved it, hopefully. We are hoping the issue of auto-banning for false-positives gets fixes, but until then we will continue to help anyone who was banned and believes it unjust. All logs are checked in-depth to ensure your ban was unjust or not. Any player found guilty of illegal actions will be told of such and will not recieve an appeal.

We are also running 1.7.3 and Bliss v4.0 as expected. Vehicles have been upped slightly and items such as wire-fencing and sandbags are removed every few days, the exact amount of days is listed in our changelogs. Out-of-bounds vehicles is still enabled to ensure no one camps off-map.

Restarts are now at 12 & 6 AM/PM EST to ensure fresh/cycled loot and minimize lag as much as possible.

Server Timezone is now GMT -6. Death Messages are OFF despite our Name Tag showing them on, we cannot turn this off at this time.

Any other changes and updates can be found in our changelogs online!

If you have any questions, concerns, or wish to contact us, feel free to at; Online | Facebook | E-Mail | Steam | or any other listed contact method here or on our website.

I would like to thank those who were patient with us while we looked into Anti-Hax false-positive bans. We have gotten it to unban players properly (now confirmed) now and will always be on the lookout for false-positives and legit bans.

As always if you have any questions, concerns, or need to contact us, our details are in the second post!

We are now running:

DayZ 1.7.4.4

ArmA Beta 99515

Bliss v4.2

Timezone has also been changed from GMT -6 TO GMT -8 as per our recent poll.

In the coming days 'DayZ Anti-Hax' will be replaced with 'Gotcha!' as our host switches over. We ask patience of everyone who joins us as this switch occurs as we attempt to avoid any issues. Downtime will be as minimal as possible but as always we will keep everyone informed of any issues on our regular sites!

We apologize to anyone who was affected by scripters over the past few days. We have a few small incidents and they were all handled quickly and any damage was undone as best we can. All scripters have been banned and we will continue to do so to any scripter.

We also apologize to a few users who were banned by Anti-Hax for false-positives, they have been corrected.

The timezone was also fixed to properly reflect the switch to GMT-8 as it was not properly changing before. We hope this didn't confuse or anger anyone as it was getting dark far too early for the listed timezone.

As always, if anyone has any questions, or comments, let us know! We hope to see you online soon!

We have now enabled Death Messages and Random Wrecks.

Death Messages now working. They are purely PvP messages. Death by anything but a player won't show up.

Random Wrecks are wrecked Helis/Planes/Tanks hulls around the map with random low-mid range loot.

Xcel

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays to everyone from the Bearcats!

Have a Happy New Year everyone.

Update as per our website: http://bearcats18.en...map-change#last

We are planning a Map Change for a change of pace! Now before anyone gets too worried we'll explain this a bit.

We will save the Chernarus map database so that at any time we can go back to it and not lose any items/vehicles.

We are not changing instantly.

We will not keep the map indefinitely; unless people prefer it.

All server settings will carry over; this includes vehicle count, difficulty, timezone, etc.

Now, how this will work.

On February 1st we will shut the server down and go about installing the Taviana map. This will take several hours to do so it will likely be done early in the morning EST. Once everything is installed we will let everyone know via normal communication methods and will be on for a few hours to ensure it works properly.

We will keep the map for 1 month and then see how popularity with the map is. If we are seeing a lack of people enjoying it, we will switch back to Chernarus.

While this is a rather large switch, there isn't much to it and we hope everyone has fun!

As the time gets closer or details change we will let everyone know! If you have any questions/comments, let us know!

For an unknown reason DayZ Anti-Hax banned everyone in the remote-exec log for Helicopter crashes, including myself. However we have removed all bans of players banned for Heli crashes and players should be able to sign on again.

We apologize for this major inconvenience and will be sending alerts to all players through all means we can to ensure them this was not of our own doing. About 6 people were affected by this and we apologize greatly for this as it banned even long-time players.

If anyone has any questions regarding this, or anything about the server, let us know.

Regards,

Xcel

[xcelsior 53]

DayZ Anti-Hax has been reinstalled from scratch; with any luck this fixes all issues we have had with it. Anyone still getting kicked/banned due to it, please let us know.

We have also cleaned up various logs to try and ensure it doesn't ban from old logs.

Auto-Reboots have been re-enabled after they broke a while back and we missed it.

BEC has been slightly altered after finding an error that could have been causing issues. We are still working with SurvivalServers to get BEC working assuming that was not the issue. We have warning messages set up for auto-reboots; these are purely Test messages for now! We are unsure if they are properly aligned with the timezone of the actual reboots, nor do we know if BEC is even working yet. SurvivalServers is showing an issue with BEC starting that they are working to fix.

Vehicles, sandbags, wires, crash sites, etc, have all been cleaned up and re-spawned. We will attempt to keep on-top of this better as it has not been up-kept over the last 2 weeks.

Vehicle Max Count lowered to 150.

As always, any questions, concerns, comments, etc, let us know!

Regards,

Xcel

[xcelsior 53]

Server now running;

ARMA2 OA Build 101480

DayZ 1.7.5.1

Reality v1.0

Server 'scripts.txt' has also been updated to eliminate the false Script #44 issue hat was occurring after the update.

As always, any questions, concerns, comments, etc, let us know!

Regards,

Xcel

[xcelsior 53]

We have switched from DayZ AntiHax to Gotcha! Anti-hack to see if it works any better for us. Since AntiHax was giving us more and more false positive bans/kicks, we are hoping this will fix that issue.

Xcel
