"Waiting for host" after server setup

Recommended Posts

I set up my DayZ Server on a Win Server 2008 system step by step like told in the instructions, but if I try to join the server, there is only the "Waiting for host" screen.

I can see on the console I am not the only one who is trying to join....

After about 5 minutes, the battleeye client on the server has been updated, but it still doesn't work..

Does someone know, how to solve this problem?

Firewall issue, mission not loading, start-up parameters wrong, etc. I'd go step by step through the instructions again making sure you didn't miss anything.

Check your mission ID to see if it's correct and the mission is in your MPMissions folder.

Here is my batch file:

Expansion\beta\arma2oaserver.exe -mod=EXPANSION\beta;EXPANSION\beta\Expansion;EXPANSION;ca;@dayz;@hive -ip=129.132.238.126 -port=2302 -profiles=cfgdayz -config=cfgdayz\server_xxxxxxxx.cfg -cfg=cfgdayz\arma2.cfg -name=CH11 -world=Chernarus -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=1 -noSound

I opened the ports 2302, 2303 and 2305 on the firewall. The mission file is also in the MPMissions folder and the server.cfg looks like told in the instructions:

class Missions

{

class DayZ {

template = dayz_12954.Chernaus;

difficulty = "regular";

};

};

I checked everything again... realy don't know, where the problem could be...

That is actually a typo in the server.cfg you download from the link in the Welcome Email, I noticed that when I set my server up.

It works now, thanks!

I just copied the name from the instructions without seeing the mistake ^^

Just a little question: How long does it take to spawn vehicles after server start?
