Will the DayZ server be updated?

Post by Gearbox » Mon Jun 17, 2013 6:20 am

Hello the Ville.

After signing up for the Ville cup, I noticed you guys run a DayZ server. Excited, I logged on and ran around dying a couple of time 'cause I suck at DayZ.

Had a blast.

Just recently noticed that the server is running version 1.62 of DayZ and that the mod is on version 1.7.7 now.

Are there any plans to update the server anytime in the future?

Thank you for your time.

Gearbox we will be updating it soon, some of the player base are experiencing a script error from Battleye.

Who knows that may be what's causing the error.

Version updating is handled (or is supposed to be) by the server hosting company. I'll take a look at this when I get home tonight and see what the deal is.

Hey hey.

According to the hosting company, server was upgraded to 1.7.7 on June 12th, so should be running that presently. At the moment, they are experiencing DDoS attacks against their Dallas datacenter, where we're located, so the server may be appearing offline. If it's still showing an old version when you're able to access it again, let me know and I'll dig deeper.

Re: the mistaken BattleEye kicks, it is apparently a BattleEye issue that is being worked on, but which is out of the control of either us or the host. Script #8 (which I've heard is one of the problem ones) is hard to pin down - it seems related either to death messages, attempts to use female characters, or a combination of both, but that doesn't seem to fit the description I've been hearing. It's very odd.

I may have been misreading the version info on my DayZ commander UI. Did I mention I'm nubbin this up?

But the server is currently running 1.62 ARMA and 1.7.7 DayZ.

Thanks for checking on this for me!

With the issue I was having I deleted local content and reloaded, now I get stuck on the load screen that counts down in the lower right hand corner. But as you said the host is having issues so I'll blame them for that.
And I'll blame battleye for the other.

That it is not, but I found another server to tide me over. Tavinia is the map.

I too am having issues with the countdown...

It starts at 0 and fills the bar about a quarter way and 5 mins later looks exactly the same.

I am having fun running around with a hatchet on another sever, but was really enjoying my time on TheVille when it was working...

Good, good.

If it gets DDoS'd again, I can try having the server transferred for free to the Los Angeles datacenter (which they say is better protected), but if it keeps working in Dallas, I'd rather keep it there. Definitely a more central location for a server - I know I have problems with our CA ones myself, being in DC.

Good times.
