DayZ OverPoch Server Now Updated 10 years 3 months ago #1274

Administrator
OFFLINE

UPDATE: Easy way to connect via Steam.

Right-click ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead in your Steam library and choose "Create Desktop Shortcut"

Find the new short-cut and right-click it.

In the URL box, copy + paste this in
:
steam://rungameid/33930//-nosplash -mod=@DayzOverwatch;@DayZ_Epoch; -connect=81.19.211.120:4302

You're welcome.

--------------------------------------------

The DayZ OverPoch server has been updated to the new ArmA 2 OA beta server files.

This means you no longer have a UID, you now have a Steam (U)ID.

This means a few things are broken/have changed.

For example, you now HAVE to make a new character when you next connect. No you cannot have your gear back, you were warned about this a week ago. You can have an emergency teleport to Stary Sobor or your base.
People complaining (over stuff that's out of our hands) will get a 4 hour ban.

Donors, you will have to send BioHazard and/or myself your new Steam ID or your custom loadouts will not work.

There's 2 ways to find your Steam ID, either:
1: Go in game, connect to the server, press ESC to see the menu and it'll be there.

2: Go to your Steam Profile page. This will be at http://www.steamcommunity.com/id/<YOUR-USERNAME>?xml=1 - the Steam ID is easy to see in there. If you haven't set a custom ID page up, open Steam mouse-over your name in the top (main) menu and go to "PROFILE". Right-click on that page and "COPY Page URL". The end of the URL is your Steam ID number. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198108507473 for example is LOLARUS's.

You'll have to update your ArmA 2 via Steam + set your launch options, follow these simple instructions:

step 1: Go to your Operation Arrowhead folder.

step 2: Delete the Arma2OA.exe file.

step 3: Delete the Arma2OAserver.exe file.

step 4: Go into your Expansion\ folder.

step 5: Delete the "beta" folder and all it's contents.

step 6: Go to Steam library -> Operation Arrowhead -> right click -> properties -> local files -> verify integrity of game.

step 7: Wait for game to verify.

step 8: Launch ArmA 2 OA. Exit the game after you see the main menu.

step 9: Go to Steam library -> Operation Arrowhead -> right click -> properties -> betas -> opt-in to beta. or it will say (beta-).

step 10: Wait for game to update. When it's done you will have the new Steam-only version of ArmA 2. Right now it is version 125548.

step 11: Run ArmA 2 with the new version and exit the game after you see the main menu.

DayZ Commander DOES NOT CURRENTLY WORK WITH THE NEW STEAM BETA VERSION. Apparently it's being fixed "soon".

To connect to our server:
1: Right click "ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead - beta" in your Steam library.

2: Go to "Properties".

3: Click "Set Launch Options".

4: Paste this in:
-nosplash -mod=@DayzOverwatch;@DayZ_Epoch;

5: Launch the game + click multiplayer.

6: In the server browser, click "FILTER".

7: Paste our server info ( 81.19.211.120:4203) into the box.

Click "OK" and the server browser will show our server. Double click it to join.

If it's not there, click "FILTERS" in the server browser and remove map names etc. (Have it as blank/empty as possible.)

As far as I know, everything is back to normal. I will verify this throughout the day will BioHazard, Pip, Hyper and Rabski.

Post any bugs or problems you find in the comments below or on the forums.

I will post update in the comments below. For now, my priority is finding out about automatic restarts. Last I heard, this was a Battleye problem.

There's also rumours of the anti-hack being a bit fussy with kicks. I'll look into this tonight, when I get home.

DY357LX OFFLINE I would kill you for a crumpet.	When I got that error it was because I hadn't launched ArmA 2 before ArmA 2 OA after updating it. Meh, as long as it works.

DY357LX OFFLINE I would kill you for a crumpet.	Okay, I'll give them a look when I get home. (~6pm GMT) The mission file looks to be roughly 200kb larger than expected, trying to figure that out.

DY357LX OFFLINE I would kill you for a crumpet.	Damas - read the other comments. Start ArmA 2 first, close it when you get to the menus. Start ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead, close it when you get to the menus. Retry connecting. If that doesn't work, do what Ritchie said and copy the files over.

DY357LX OFFLINE I would kill you for a crumpet.	Ok. Do me a quick favour... connect to the server via FTP and tell me if you can see a DayzOverwatch folder? It doesn't show for me in FireFTP but in GTX's File Manager it does. It's not important, I just thought it was weird when fixing the server this morning.

DY357LX OFFLINE I would kill you for a crumpet.	Probably a Firefox, FireFTP or a cache problem at my end. Doesn't matter. Made it work, regardless.
