On Tuesday night (the 14th), at around 9pm, we'll be jumping into a public ArmA 3 Epoch server.
(We don't have our own server yet as the devs haven't released the files. But we're hoping to have a [TTP] server in the near future.)
We'll meet up, gather vehicles and resources as we go and hopefully build a little base.
Should be fun.
If you're interested, download Epoch from here:
http://epochmod.com/whitelister.php
(Open the launcher a few hours before hand to make sure the mod is up to date.)
I'll update this news post with the IP of the server we're joining on the night.
Okay, after messing around for the majority of the day, the Overpoch server and the ArmA 3 Wasteland server are now back up and running.
The ArmA 3 server seems completely fine. (Feel free to find problems and report them here.)
The Overpoch server has several small problems you'll have to work around:
1: The database was wiped. Yes you've lost your base, your gear and your questionable Humanity values. Time to start anew! Stop moaning and get on with it.
2: The Battleye filters might need tweaking. Post here if you get kicked. Tell us exactly what you were doing/interacting with. A error code and rough time of kick will also help us the fix the problem much faster.
3: The Overpoch traders in Stary, Klen and Bash (the scientist-looking/spaceman dudes) are a little bugged. You probably won't get the option to trade with them yet. I'll fix it tomorrow. -Fixed
4: Speaking of traders. I've added in as many Overwatch weapons, ammo and vehicles as I can for now. If you find something that's missing post it here. Be specific with details and provide a screenshot if you don't know the name of something. One of the Admins will add the missing item to the database when they get time.
5: The Overpoch tools we offer have had their configs updated and should be working fine, but to use the Donor page you'll have to re-register. Remember to check your spam folder for the confirmation email. Post here if you don't get one and I'll activate you manually.
That's all for now. I'll amend this post tomorrow evening after work. Updates will go at the top of this post.
We know the server is not running!
This would appear to be a database problem GTX side, i have done some probing around and it would appear the database no longer exists.
I am waiting for GTX to get back to me and will update when i know more.
UPDATE: GTX had a drive failure and all data is lost. The server has to be reinstalled from scratch.
Start up ArmA 3, head the multiplayer server browser and click "remote".
Paste this connection info in:
IP - 31.3.225.42
PORT - 2300
It should quickly refresh and show a green dot next to the server name. Double click the server name to join.
If there isn't a a green dot and you've got a red X, join anyway and make a note of the error message and post it here.
If you've got ArmA 3 Epoch or Breaking Point installed, you might have to disable them. I found the easiest way to do this is to simply rename the folders from "@Epoch" to "Epoch" and "@BreakingPoint" to "BreakingPoint".
Easy enough to restore. Just re-add the @.
As always, report any bugs and problems you find to us and we'll see what we can do.
Expect the occasional restart and we alter configs and smooth things out.
I'll add more info here as/when needed.
