MatthewK Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I'm starting to think that i'm the only one who actually took the announcement that GameSpy was shutting down last month seriously. I've made all the changes on my server, got a telling off by my provider because apparently I was jumping the gun and i didn't need to upgrade yet. Which i'm starting to agree with because DayZCommander hasn't budged on the update (no twitter updates, no website updates, nothing, nada) while PlaySix updated days ago. Further to this, GameSpy appear to be still online... right now, I've got no players on my servers other than a few regulars who have taken the time to follow my instructions .. the rest are still trying to use Commander and won't believe me that GameSpy has shut down and we're now using the official Steam Patch.. Can someone summerise what's going on, without comments like "No need to upgrade until gamespy goes offline" etc, as apparently and as stated by thousands of people online already, they were supposed to have shutdown 3 days ago... That's why I got my shit together.. Evidently, Commander doesn't care and GameSpy are trolling the crap out of me.. TayTayTheKiller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darihon Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Commander: Is upgrading, see his github. Unsure about GameSpy tho, server is still working fine and BattlEye is still working. MatthewK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TayTayTheKiller Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Haha yeah total nightmare I spent a week setting up a nice new server building it around the new beta etc all ready for the 1st of this month......And gamespy is still up. I wish they would just kill it already so we can all move on and get over with it. martuk66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewK Posted July 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 i'm wondering if this wasn't some dumbass publicity stunt. all that hype and bs about closing down and 4 days later, they're still online. i'm even more concerned about how long it's taken DayzCommander to get moving with the patch, it's like that guy knew something we didn't. he has a twitter account, wish he'd use it. this industry certainly doesn't reward the forward thinkers, as much as it does punish them. the only good thing to come out of this for you and me then TayTayTheKiller, is that when it does finally close down and DZC finally releases the update, our servers will be the first to get laid :p when this is all sorted and my server is back to normal player levels, i'm getting drunk!

Nekuan Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Ha, someone who feels (almost) just like me.. Server was starting to become crowded in the evenings, got more and more regular players and then BAM gamespy "shutdown". Now I'm down to my 4 long time regular player to which I could describe how to play without that f-ing commander (yes i really hate that thing), not that it would be hard to start up dayz via steam -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 A server needs a forum and TS server, that way players who can't get on have a place to get support, notifications or announce changes in advance. Anyone who needs a forum or TS can contact me, I can get them some good deals from a server host. raymix and MatthewK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even one of my own Moderators took 3 days to finally get it, his final comment was "I couldn't get it to work, so in the end I just did what you told me to do".. WTF? This is how lazy people are lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylebeed Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Yeah happened to me too. Was 45/45 now 18 at most since i changed over to steam, Wish DZC would really pull their finger out! :/ MatthewK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewK Posted July 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 That's what gets me the most about this entire thing. Not that GameSpy haven't kept to their word and not actually shutdown when they said they would. But that certain providers haven't started to prepare for the steam patch yet (my own provider said I was jumping the gun by insisting they get my server updated) and that this guy from DZC wasn't even prepared, still isn't. I made a donation to DZC back in the days, if it's money he's lacking to do the work I'll gladly make another .. Just get your finger out, as Kylebeed said :) kylebeed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TayTayTheKiller Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Gamespy isn't the issue now it's just everyone dependency on dayz commander. Let's hope hes working on something great or even something a bit like playwithsix that knows what mods and what versions of them the servers are running and downloads them for you when connecting and then no messing with launch parameters :) Markokil321 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trapped Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I have a problem getting my server to show on dayzcommander, anyone know if there's a fix for it or does it have something to do with gamespy shutting down? I'm using vilayer btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fr1nk Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Vilayer updated all their servers to at least 1.63.125402. DZC won't see these servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUTTER Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 this game spy servers not shutting down is a complete joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUTTER Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 i think bohemia have trolled themselves As you may have heard, GameSpy is discontinuing its services and it was therefore of paramount importance to offer an alternative for the passionate Operation Arrowhead players who have supported our game and our company for so many years. yeah right really good job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defent Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Perhaps they have like rented servers which host GameSpy and that they stopped paying for them, so they have the servers untill the end of the month? Or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
