Anyone Using Headless Clients as a Basis and Happy?

[Donnovan]

I'm giving a break about Headless Clientes on Arma 2 DayZ Epoch. Reasons:

1) - With Headless Clientes, sudenly the bandwidth per player, to all players, can rise to 150, 200, 300 or 400 Kb/s (kbytes/second) causing general lag.

2) - Some features seens to not work perfect when its localized on the Headless Client.

3) - The HC add tons of error messages to the server log, and may be this causes the problens in number (2 and (4.

4) Server seens to be less reliable with Headless Clients running. More strange things seens to happens. more errors and problems in general.

5) BE updates on headless clients.

I would love to heard about other people experience in HC for Arma 2 Epoch:

Server Owner) Is you using HC on a regular basis and happy with it?

Players) Did you play in any server with Headless Clients? What was your experience?

The future: wait for Arma 2 end of life update, and try a bit again.

Thankyou!

This is the true, HC in completely broken.

 

I doubt there is 1 server in world using it, BI made it unusefull.

 

Don't lost your time trying to have HC on your server since it is fixed.

Maybe you can get in contact with one of the DE#1000 admins (http://www.de-1000.de) they using a HC and run theyr cherno server with 100 players without lags.

Thankyou LunatikCH.

Doesn't DAMI manage there servers if he still does then theirs no chance of getting help from them. 

[Donnovan]

Alex, i just want to know if they indeed use HC. I believe they don't use.

 

My feel is they optimize the server code.

 

And like you can see on their forum, they run the server in a overclocked 4.7 Ghz i7.

Update on the info:

"I can confirm this is a BattlEye issue, if I set BattlEye = 0; in the server.cfg the problem no longer occurs.

I have emailed BattlEye support."

 

I really believe 1000DE don't use HC. No one in world use.

 

A big hip in a area completely broken by BI.

 

So may topics, desire, work, for what?

[Donnovan]

LunatikCH, yes, my skype is donnovan_br :D

I will release my complete server here, you you guys can test it if wanted.

I was running the headless client on both of my A2 servers running all AI and missions perfectly fine up until about a month ago when the new BE client was released. It became so unstable that I had to stop using the headless client. I'll take a look at the links in this post to see if I can find a work around because I was truly bummed when I had to finally disable it last weekend.

[Donnovan]

CMDR. Taco!

 

Thankyou for your post! I struglished for more than one month before discovery that its BI/BE fault! Hope they fix their shit! Sorry for the "bad" word, but this is what they did.

[Donnovan]

Well, i'm giving up Arma 2.

Soon will release my server files, with HC, hope any of you have more success.

Thankyou!

[Donnovan]

Here my HC server release, it contains:

- Server File

- Mission File

- BE filters

- Bat file to start the HC server

- Config.cfg with the necessary configuration for HC

Payd features was removed (i.e. infiStar).

If you want to add infiStar, you need to make some changes in it because of custom keys used on the scripts and because of the DayZ Group Management Script. Leave a post please.

So your hc no longer works properly?
