Any feedback on server this evening? I see 67 on it at the moment.

I would expect it will need rebooting a little more often and it will be slower to join.

I'm having a few weird connections issues;

Takes a minute or two to pick up an item or perform some action.

After gutting a cow I went to pick up the sirloin steaks but the option to search for gear wasn't there, I could inspect and hide the body. The option to do so came up eventually.

I'm also being teleported back to points in the map where I was 10 minutes previous. I was coming up to a supermarket but then I was brought back to the cow I had gutted.

Zombies are disappearing completely. And the debug monitor keeps coming and going.

The wire isnt hacked just clowns placing it everywhere.

I'll restart it in a while and reduce to 60 and get on myself to test

How's it working out so far?

Would it be a good idea to set up something that could auto restart it every couple of hours, lets say every 4 hours, with battleye leaving an auto message saying server is restarting in blah blah. Don't know what im talking about to be honest but i have seen it on servers and think it could be a good idea

I think setting the time will be an issue if using an auto restart script, the time would be set in the description file inside the pbo, but it would set it to the same time regardless of real time at server restart?

The only other way I can think of, is having multiple scheduled restarts, set to 12am, 6am, 12pm, 6pm,, each running a predefined mission .pbo file (edited to set the required parameters to default, rather than needing an admin to adjust them manually at restart, then setting the start time in each mission pbo to -5 UTC, so the 12am would load the pbo with time set to 7pm, 6am would load time set to 1am etc, etc...)

A 5 minute message of an impending restart should be enough to allow people to get safe, save their tents/cars etc, followed by a 2 minute and 1 minute warning

I'd love to see this done to help with loot spawning and little problems you get now and again. Once there's a few minutes warning it should be good.

just loggin in to Boards as player number 70... hopefully its not as laggy as the 60 man Swedish server i was on the other night..
I was clicking bandage and nothing, then i run somewhere else and suddenly he's bandaging like 4 minutes later.

Whoa, 60 player server now? Very nice! trying to get on now.

Villain

Got a bit laggy so restarted and set to 60 seems fine at the min

Nah, you were the first I saw. I actually though I saw you in the trees, stopped for a min, then didn't see anything else. So went on thinking it was a branch or something. Only saw you at the last second.

On another note, seems to be a good few snipers in Elektro.

And lots of low fps..

Quick question. Having modded Arma2 to play dayz can I boot up and play Vanilla Arma 2 and OA normally?

Yes. Just start it from the normal icons it would have placed on the desktop.

Boards server has the most barbed wire I've seen on any server.

Nice little camp with 4 tents overlooking Electro, hills to the east.

Had a great time on the server tonight. Me and my unarmed friend were going to the hospital in Cherno where we were killed by some dudes. Ah well, gonna get revenge now

N64

Yeah. Thanks for killing me :mad: Looking forward to playing more tomorrow :P

they were empty? i checked couple hours ago, then didnt see the guy proned up the hill until i nearly ran over him...
I think he heard my footsteps when i was right next to him, he was using binocs, then I saw him pulling for a gun, and shot, glad i did he had a L85 AWS!!!!

I'm having no luck with loot spawns here.

I ran from Kamenka, Through Komorovo and Balota all the way to the Airfield.

I checked everything along the way and all spawn points where empty.

I gotta switch servers for a while to gear up!

N64

Can anybody please post the details of the mumble server? thanks

stuff by the coast never has a great chance of being in stock, too many people coming through that way going north, head to Stary Sabor, if you survive then go to NW Airfield... those two places are far more rewarding but also more dangerous. no risk , no reward hey.

Hmmm.. Camping new spawns.. Brave of you..

Who?

Not sure. Someone sniping outside of Elektro. Not sure if they are on here.

Anyone else get an issue that stops you from seeing any servers in the server browser. It has locked me into viewing LAN servers only and says online assistance is down for maintenance and I can't refresh or filter or change the domain my game is searching for servers in. Not only that but even six-launcher shows no servers? Very confusing.

does anyone know the exact ip and port of the Boards server so I may try to directly connect?

Bus north west of cherno before server reset, had great fun doing an austin powers trying to ge it out of the trees till I realised it was missing one wheel. bloody deathtrap anyway, no seatbelts

Zapp Brannigan

Just got an amazing haul in Cherno. Alice Pack, blood packs, epi pens, morphine, FAL, CZ550, map, watch, water bottle.

I found a bus on the edge of town with no wheels but it was loaded with goodies, so I stocked up and got the hell out of dodge. I've never been this geared before and quite frankly I'm afraid to play now cos I don't want to lose any of it!
