[Help] Server automatically IP banning / blocking?

[Guest]

Fuck, okay lets type this again because i clicked my MOUSE4 button and my browser sent me back a page.

 

My server has randomly stopped letting me join the world, its getting stuck on Waiting for host. then kicking me with a battleye error (Client not responding)

 

Additional info: this has happened before on a server I play on frequently, and what I did to fix was connect to a VPN then join the server perfectly. I have confirmed with the community owner and other administrators that I was not IP banned purposely & or with any command initiated by the administration team.

 

Does Arma 2/Dayz block an IP that connects to the server rapidly (Coding, restarting server, and rejoining) repeat cycle.
 

I do not have any firewalls enabled, nor do I have any on the server.

 

I can ping the server fine, and the server shows up active on my DayZ commander. I can also connect through RDP fine.

 

Steps I have taken to research my assumption:

 

1. Restarted Computer
2. Restarted Router
3. Defaulted server files to original state (with a wipe of MPmisisons and @DayZ_Epoch_Server)
4. Waited 5 Hours before retrying a connection to the server.
5. Changed IP, and can connect fine now.

Bump. Any help is appreciated.

Sounds like your battleye client isn't firing up.

 

Do you know where your %APPDATA% folder is?

 

I would go into the appdata\local\ArmA 2 OA\ and delete the battleye folder.

 

Then I would go to steam\steam apps\common\ArmA 2\ and delete the battleye folder.  Then go into the BEsetup folder, and run setup_BattlEyeARMA2.exe.

 

Then I would go to steam\steam apps\common\Arma 2 OA\Expansion\ and delete the battleye folder.  Then go into the root OA folder, and then the BEsetup folder, and run setup_BattlEyeARMA2OA.exe

 

Do this on the client machine that is trying to connect.  Hope this fixes your BattlEye problems.

Thanks for replying, but I mentioned that it was an IP issue, hence aquiring a new IP allowed me to connect.

But you said:

Sometimes you can get into a server for a while, but if your battleye client isn't working you will get kicked from a battleye protected server.  Sometimes it may take 20 minutes before it kicks you.  I think it just depends.

the waiting for host is before the team selection / unit selection screen.

like i said it could be that it is trying to initialize the battleye and failing

on the client or on the server?

 

because changing my IP solves this problem.

on the client

Have you contacted your server host to be sure your IP isn't being blocked at the data center?

Yup, checked this. This issue has also happened on other servers.
