Our server has spawned ZERO VEHICLES IN 3 WEEKS!

Yes, you read the title right. The server we run, US 1211 for the past 3 weeks has had 0 vehicles. The first week we thought someone hid them very well and didn't think much of it. The second week we tried combing the whole western and northern areas. The third week we just gave up. Our server is spawning ZERO vehicles.

Also, today a hacker came on our server, teleported 2 of our members to a location and just started talking with them. After he saw they were admins of the server, he apologized and said he wouldn't cause any trouble. Our admins took this opportunity to ask the hacker if he could see if there were any vehicles on the server. He said he saw zero and thought that was very weird. He spawned our admins a hacker box (which our members blew up with satchel charges) and he left.

I put in a support ticket to get our vehicle respawns reset but have no heard anything yet. Anything else I can do? The server is tied to the HIVE.

AFAIK It should take 7-10 days for servers to spawn vehicles on new servers. 3 weeks sounds wrong.

Yes, our server has been around for 2.5 months. It has had vehicles before. But it seems around the time we upgraded to 1.7.2.6, they started to not spawn.

Check the .RPT file when you shut down your server. Search for "streaming" and it should show you a list of IDs for static objects (tents, barbed wire, etc.) and all the vehicles which are currently on your server (not counting the currently destroyed ones). If there aren't any vehicles there, you might have a problem. Has the server always been on .6? We started out on .5 with quite some vehicles after a week or so (which obviously kept respawning at their spawn point after a restart), but now on .6 everything is working quite fine (except for the respawning of destroyed vehicles).

When the server first started 2 1/2 months ago we had plenty of vehicles. Now, nothing.

From what I have been reading this morning it seems the only solution seems to be to request a new instance ID from BIS, which resets everything.

Just got a response from support:

Unfortunately at this time we do not have the resources to process server resets. We understand your frustration and we ask you to bear with us during this time as we work on a solution to this problem. In the mean time, you can cancel your existing instance ID and request another one if you are in dire need of a fresh server. If you have managed hosting, your hosting provider will be able to provide you with another instance ID.

Guess we'll have to get a new instance.

A new instance ID is great and all, but a scripter will just teleport them again in a matter of minutes. There is no foolproof way until the way vehicles spawn changes or the scripters are finally dealt with.
