Make sure your Arma 2: OA version is the same as the one the server has. There was an update recently.
You also have to launch your Arma 2: OA before you can join a server (after updating, just go to the main menu and then close it)
I figured out what the issue was from another member. I wasn't able to install a different version through dayz commander because I had that beta thing. Once I used Steam to manually downgrade I was able to install it without errors. Thanks as well.

Thanks all for the suggestions as I'm checking them out over the next few days.
Also Northy, thanks for your help. I did everything but I wasn't able to downgrade versions but once I did that it fixed the issue. I had to manually go back from 1.63 to 1.62 and I had to install the second to last version from A2:OA then everything was fine. Thanks again.
-
I've been trying to fix this for the past hour and I've had no luck at all, I've googled the issue and tried the things I've found with no help, can somebody please save my sanity?
-
Okay maybe somebody can help me. I keep getting bad server rejection thing. I've never had this problem before so wtf is the issue?
-
I've been having issues getting epoch to work so once I figure that out I'll be getting into a server to play. Hopefully I can fix it later today.
-
I've been away from dayz for quite awhile and I'd like to start playing again, so I'm hoping to find some people to play with as well as a PvE server as I never liked the whole PvP aspect in open world survival games. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

If you don't see the icon, you need to eat / drink. Rocket Science? I think not
Hey troll,
Maybe you have some kind of cheap monitor that displays stuff so horribly that you can easily see the item. I don't know. But for those of us who have good computers and a killer monitor and the colors are how they're supposed to be it's hard to see. Especially when it turns yellow or when you're driving in third person because the grass will make the icons blend in. Since you're a troll I'll go ahead and answer what you're going to reply with. Yes I can drive in first person but I like third person better, and while you can go back and forth between the two, certain people like certain views. So maybe instead of being a troll, get a better job then get a decent computer. Haven't the other generations of trolls taught you that being a moron will only get you disliked.
Bow down to my GTX Titan & 27" IPS monitor :). BTW that's just because I know you'll have something idiotic to say.

@xrxex I would't choose a hoster on the fact that their support is a littler faster or not.. lol
Iinstalling default epoch can be done completely automated, if you want to use custom mods/scripts I doubt that any server hoster will help you with that!
We've used HFB and their service is good for the price, but HFB has great performance, they run DayZ server on high end servers and not like 20 servers on 1 nmachine like DayZ.st is doing so they have very poor performance you need to know! With HFB you get access to all files, the complete Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead to do what you want! (well I don't know what they will do if you change the player slots or debrand the server but YOU can just do that if you wanted to lol).
Anyway think about what you pay for the server and what a service technician costs an hour... just saying for proper service you will have to pay a lot more money! :)
We only changed from HFB to a real dedicated root server for 1 reason, we got hacked a lot with DDoS attacks like 1-2 times every days so 2h+ downtime for our server was just to much.. that may not be HFBs fault, they anwered my ticket with something like "they can redirect my problem to the DC (data center) but its unlikely they ca do much about it if we are hit with massive DDoS...", just so many hacker kids out therey we banne dlike 10-20 people every day from the server and some want revenge and try to DDoS the server form outside then! :/
I'm not saying choose them based on how quickly they respond, but that should be a major factor. I know a few people who use vert and are extremely happy, plus Axle even recommended them. If I need help or something and the people take hours on hours or days to respond, then what is the point of hosting with them? I've heard many horror stories with HFB with trying to get refund because of lack of support and stuff among that. Then what I even think potentially proves my point is their TOS:
Game Services
We reserve the right at any time to move or load balance your game server due to changing stock levels. This only applies to game services that do NOT offer a dedicated IP. If you are on a game service that you have paid for a dedicated IP and you are load balanced or moved then we will compensate you with up but not exceeding 1 month of service as a credit to your account with HFBServers LLC. Any attempts to file paypal disputes or chargebacks as a result of a move or load balance will result in the immediate termination of your service and you authorize HFBServers LLC to attempt to collect this debt in the future. You also agree that you will Not attempt to slander or post negative reviews for HFBServers LLC on any online medium including but not limited to review websites, game forums, clan forums, youtube videos and more as a result of a move or load balance.
For starters, if they move you to a box and you started seeing service issues and they wouldn't let you cancel and so instead you file a dispute and they state they could cancel, instead of at least honoring the fact you did pay. That's pretty crappy. Then the whole collect this debt in the future is total bs, because a.) They don't have your ss#, so that would just mean some phone calls. Then all you do is put yourself on the DO NOT CALL list and ask them to stop calling if they don't then that's harassment :). Not to mention as I said before it won't even go on any type of a credit thing, so it's just them being ignorant. The thing that really gets me though is that you agree not to slander or post negative reviews for HFB. Why? Do they not want other people to know if they had negative issues with HFB? That's like trying to cover up the truth, and while I'm not saying everybody has issues with them but I know a lot of people do. Personally regarding the TOS I'd probably call them if I had a phone # and tell them what I think of them. Also on the vert statement, I asked if they would help with custom scripts and he said they would give me a hand as long as it's not something too complicated. I would be getting all the scripts from a friend server to transfer over and I just want them to show me what to change to edit trader prices and to install them. So I already talked to them in advance with this.
Stick with dayz.st easiest to use and free DDos protection. They have the best custom control panel out of them all. As for any of them adding scripts for you that work good luck with that.
While the server I play on is hosted by dayz.st I can tell you the DDoS protection is complete bs. The server that I play on must be on a shared box with a server that is getting hit. Because the server will randomly start to desync. So whatever DDoS protection they offer is complete bs. They do also crowd boxes and I can tell you from playing on diff DayZ servers now that I've noticed that Dayz.st servers aren't as fast as the others.
All in all I like HFB prices, but I don't want to waste my time with them but I may still take a chance just to see how their service is but I want to speak to one of them in advance so I know first hand how quickly they respond and what not. I'll post my honest review as well if I do get them. Then I like verthosting because their service from what I've seen. I just want to avoid having to pay $30 for a server that won't be highly populated.

I absolutely love the new icons, and all posters above me need to buy a pair of glasses
Rather stupid thing to say. Nobody insulted you, so why do you have to come and make an ignorant statement to insult other people?
I can see the icons just fine, but I don't like the new ones. I prefer the old ones. Also yes when the food and water start going down it's not easy to see how far from the top they are, and not to say that I can't but it's just harder. Some people play with different visual settings so I could imagine it can get pretty hard at times. Then add if people play in the dark it's a bit harder to see.

Vert, it's like having your own dedi box without the dedi box price.
I would seriously recommend them. It's 4 am here and that means it's 10 am where the guy I'm talking to is and I sent an email anyways, expecting to receive a response a few hours from now, but instead I received an email a minute later. Then I sent two more emails and both of those emails were answered within 5 minutes. You really can't get much better than that. That's top notch customer service. I'll be ordering my server from them in a weeks time.
-
So what do you change to make it spawn more frequent?
Also I though the loot spawn tables were closed so you couldn't edit the chance of something spawning?
-
Ah, it won't let me edit it, but this is the email I sent dayzpriv.
If I were to purchase a server from you, would you guys help me load Epoch on it?
Also do you have anything like live support or how would I speak to you if I have issues? I didn't see a live chat button and I don't see a phone number either.Thanks in advance for your help.Now this is the email I got in reply:DayZ Priv4:26 PM (12 hours ago)
to meJonThanks,Neal,All support is done through tickets in the support area and when we set up servers you have access to all the files and mods are installed.That took 12 hours to reply to that, and he never even fully answered my question if he would help load Epoch on it. He simply stated that I have access to all the files and mods are installed which I took as I have to install them but I have access to whatever. That kinda threw me off.
Now I just emailed verthosting the same question:
4:34 AM (6 minutes ago)to adminIf I were to purchase a server from you, would you guys help me load Epoch on it?Also do you have anything like live support or how would I speak to you if I have issues? I didn't see a live chat button and I don't see a phone number either.Thanks in advance for your help.Now look at the time stamp on that, and this was the fastest reply I've ever gotten:
4:35 AM (5 minutes ago)to meMr. Codere,
We do preinstall maps and mods as part of our initial set up for customers, and so can have Epoch 1.0.2.5 loaded for you.
We do have a Skype account for support: verthosting
That was the fastest reply ever, I mean literally within a minute, holy crap. They even said he installs everything for me. Yea so I will say that they've literally just jumped up ahead to #1 on my list. That's brilliant customer service.

DayZ.st
Vilayer
HFB
Survival Server
I Only Tryed DayZ.st they was awesome although you couldn't spawn Vehicles and couldn't edit loadouts but easy to use and cheap
Can someone tell me whats The BEST Server Host for Epoch?
1.Map (Spawn Vehicles Edit loadout)
2.Good Updates (Atleast 2 to 3 days after update release they update)
3.Easy to use
4.Scripts (Not really needed I can do my own scripts just good to be lazy Lol if they can do the scripts for you.Add them to your server.Also some type of admin control like spawning vehicles and teleporting.
Budget is 40 Usd for a 50 slot
I'm currently looking at hosts and ServivalServers caught my eye until I got on their site and noticed that live chat is rarely online. They also advertise this $25 monthly thing for the life of your server but then when you go to add to cart you have to pay an additional $3/mo to debrand the server, then if you want them to manage the server with restarts and installing stuff that's an additional $8.50/mo so then it comes to $41.50/mo and if you use the save5 code you get $5 off for good, so it brings it down to $36.50/mo. That's a joke.
The server I play on runs dayz.st and while they have got ddossed once since I've been playing(a week today). They haven't had problems in nearly 5-6 days. They're not bad priced at all either and I hear that the tech support is good. I may add that I'm going to have another person setup the server unless they will do it for me if I buy the server. I'm going to be getting all the config files from a friend. One thing I will test first is their response time to e-mails.
Dayzpriv I was curious about but one thing I can honestly say I don't like is that I e-mailed them at 4 something a.m.(Central Time) and I did not get a reply back until right at 2 hours later. While I might add that Oregon is 2 hours behind me, 4pm is still 2pm, and that's still quite slow to respond to a couple of simple questions. What I'll probably do is send another email or two with questions and see how they respond because it may of just been a busy day. Though if it's the same then I'll avoid them. I like having live support personally because you don't have to wait. One awesome thing is that you can try their service for three days for free and if you don't like them you can drop them without hassle, so that's a great seller.
HFB I've read so many bad things about and honestly not a single good thing. I hear their tech support doesn't know anything and that if you have issues with the server that it's an act of congress to get a refund because of their "billing cycle" bull they say. So to me I would just end up having to fight it through paypal and if that didn't work I would just dispute the claim on my credit card. So that makes me avoid them all together.
I wouldn't bother with vilayer because their prices are in Euros and that's more than the dollar so it would end up being the most expensive option for me.
Then I seen somebody say verthosting. I'm curious to email them once I figure out the time zone difference to see how long it takes them to get back to me. To me it's all about customer service and quick to respond and quick to resolve issues. While I can get somebody to do most of the work for me I want to know that if I need help that somebody will be there. Also, just to add they have some awesome scripts from the look on their site with the triple anti hack thing or w/e it's called.
So as of now these are the way I rate the hostings you've mentioned:
1.) Dayz.st (Has nice free features)
2.) Verthosting (Strictly basing this off their features and reviews)
3.) Dayzpriv (Could be #2 but I've had the 12 hour delayed email response, and it almost took the #2 spot because of the free 3 day trial)
4.) Vilayer (Has good reviews, but I don't deal with Euros)
5-9.) I'm sure they are other hosts out there that are much better than SS, so they take the 5-9 spots.
10.) ServivalServers (Cheap until you add the options like server restarting($$) which is included in places like dayz.st for free, and then the $3/mo debrand is another rip off. It's just a way to make more money but appear cheaper at first. So honestly, I'd simply label them as a scam because places that try to be shady like this and sell features that other hostings include for free should get a life)
Like this is how pathetic I think SS are. If they were to do $10/mo forever I wouldn't even buy it. That's even if the other places went up to $50/mo. I live by a simple saying in life that when I blacklist a company it stays there. Also SS reminds me of multiplaygameservers with that ignorant branding stuff, because if a company has to sit there and charge you to debrand a server to get additional money because it can't get money without having to brand their servers then that alone speaks for their service or rather lack of.

I'm going to be purchasing a server from dayz.st as soon as I can find somebody to help me set everything up from custom loadouts to changing the loot spawns and AI spawns and salvaging and stuff like that. I've got no problem donating to the person helping me as long as he will take the time to make sure everything is done right. You can post here or message me, whatever is easier for you. Thanks for your time.

Difficulty: I don't like Easy games but games that are too Hard and aren't rewarding enough will get tiring also. I like a well balanced game.
Map: I've only played Chernarus so I can't chime in on any others.
Features: Third Person enabled, No building decay(with hours I work and all I don't get to always play, sometimes upwards of a week). I like selfbb but it's not a must have.
Mode: I prefer PvE because I find the game more fun that way and it's even better if people are working together. You're not going to always shoot the first person you see if that situation were to really occur but on this game if you're in a random server where it's not strictly PvE then that's what'll happen.
Weapons: I prefer SD weapons, and other than that I haven't really much an opinion. I like that some weapons are way harder to find, like snipers. Those wouldn't randomly be laying around.
