Hello all,

Trying to setup a brand new server, followed the 70 step instructions twice, tried in a new directory, also tried in the OA as seen below.

Any help is appreciated

Using the default napf files nothing custom yet. Using the bat file, starts and gives the following:
 3:10:26 Dedicated host created.
 3:10:27 BattlEye Server: Initialized (v1.194)
 3:10:27 Host identity created.
 
The .rpt gives:
=====================================================================
== C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\arma2oaserver.exe
== "arma2oaserver.exe"  -port=2302 "-config=instance_24_Napf\config.cfg" "-cfg=instance_24_Napf\basic.cfg" "-profiles=instance_24_Napf" -name=instance_24_Napf "-mod=@DayZ_Epoch;@DayZ_Epoch_Server;" "-showscripterrors;"

Sorry, Its  a updated server, with 1.63 and epoch 1.0.5.1
New install well into a different directory.

New database.

 

So you saying the server needs steam open?
I connect or start arma through steam every time.

 

I have even moved the complete steam install into a directory. get the same issue.

 

The server running 1.62 with epoch 1.0.4.2 works like a charm.

 

I am at a loss why this is not working :/

I say the client needs Steam in Online mode (not Offline mode which is sufficient to start the game but not to connect anywhere).

 

How are you starting arma through Steam? A working connection to a 1.62 server will use another executable ($ARMA2OADIR/expansion/beta/arma2oe.exe) then a connection to an current 1.63 server ($ARMA2OADIR/arma2oa_be.exe).

 

I myself am mainly using bats, thus having full control of the startup process, so I'm not familiar with the Steam process.

Afair your Steam library offers

  1. the current game version in form of 'Arma2 Operation Arrowhead', perhaps with '[beta]' in brackets if you've opted into beta versions.
  2. the 1.62 version as deprecated 'Arma2 Operation Arrowhead Beta' (actual name may differ, but without brackets around beta)

Using 1 you cannot connect to 1.62 servers, using 2 you cannot connect to 1.63 servers. Your (the OP's?) server is 1.63.125548 , so I cannot imagine that you can use the very same connection method for both, 1.62 and 1.63.

Yes, I find it quite irritating that I need to have a functional internet connection to play a singleplayer game on my own PC.

I had preferred to keep Steam in Offline mode, for fear of unwanted game updates (despite deactivated 'keep up to date') and because I can then isolate my PC from the internet while playing.

 

But no, the player without identity message only stops when I change Steam into Online mode :-(

DZC wouldn't concern me too much, but the rest sounds as if the connection had been attempted with incorrect expansions, resulting in a kick, reverting to the Arma menu.

No Epoch-Screen at all?

Try a (modify IP and STEAMPATH if necessary and copy into your Arma2OA directory) bat-File

@echo off

rem path to Steam, change this!
set STEAMPATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam

rem server connection information
set IP=5.9.138.103
set PORT=2302
set MODS=@DayZ_Epoch;

rem don't change below
set ARMA2OAPATH=%STEAMPATH%\SteamApps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead
set ARMA2PATH=%STEAMPATH%\SteamApps\common\Arma 2
start ""  "%ARMA2OAPATH%\ArmA2OA_BE.exe" 0 0 -skipintro -mod=%MODS% -noSplash -noFilePatching -world=empty -connect=%IP% -port=%PORT% "-mod=%ARMA2PATH%;expansion;"

@exit

I've been stumped by this trying to start a local test server on my own pc. Can never connect, only get the endless loop of Player without identity, too

I get the same issue on my test server.

 

I use a .bat files to run 1.62.103718 arma2oa to connect to my epoch 1.0.4.2 server.

 

My steam is run online as administator. I use set launch options in properties on the Arma2 OA.game

Then just use the following for what I want to connect to eg...

 

//Overpoch
"-mod=Expansion;@DayzOverwatch;@DayZ_Epoch;@DayZEpochPanthera_Panthera;" -nosplash -emptyworld
//Epoch
"-mod=Expansion;@DayZ_Epoch;" -nosplash -emptyworld

i use the Epoch to connect to my server, but get the error "Session Lost"

Then I have  a look at the .rpt log

This what is in there.

Hmm, I'm not sure if this is complicating matters: I've noticed that my Steam has installed itself under username 'User' while I'm logging into Win7 (and have installed Steam) under another username.

From this follows that the Arma2 profile (and %appdata%) used is a different one between starting the game from Steam/bat or DZC.

You say, you've started Steam as administrator, maybe yet another profile used?

 

@V414: what does your client rpt say? It's located in the %appdata% of the user starting arma.

So I found my way through the hive not starting up.

 

I had the config and hivext files in the "Config Examples" folder and not the instance that I moved to the main directory.

But of course with my luck that wasn't the magic bullet, we got another problem.

This is on the console:

  Quote

 

2:05:38 Player bwp connecting.

 2:05:38 Mission DayZ Epoch Napf read from directory.
 2:05:41 BattlEye Server: IMPORTANT: Effective immediately BattlEye is no longer providing protection for servers using outdated non-Steam versions of the game. We're sorry, but this is due to GameSpy suddenly marking ALL cd-keys as valid, even if they are fake/generated.
 2:06:10 Player  kicked off by BattlEye: Client not responding
 2:06:10 Player bwp disconnected.

 

Still getting these as the last items in the RPT

The new error is this, client log file below that, note: I can connect to any number of DayZ Epoch servers fine.

Imo those missing addons say that the Epoch expansion is not activated (on client).

 

That's my deduction as well, another user who can connect to epoch servers has the same problem as well, which would point back to something in the config?

Already got it.

 

Here's the .bat

 

@echo off
start "arma2" /min "arma2oaserver.exe" -port=2302 "-config=instance_24_Napf\config.cfg" "-cfg=instance_24_Napf\basic.cfg" "-profiles=instance_24_Napf" -name=instance_24_Napf "-mod=@DayZ_Epoch;@DayZ_Epoch_Server;" "-showscripterrors;"
 
 
Unless i'm missing it somewhere else?

It would be more interesting to see the bat you use to connect your client to the server....

 

I don't want to offend anyone, but given the experience we've had with our players: there's a plethora of reasons why they could not connect to the server after the  change to Steam and the DZC desaster -- all of them rested between their ears, while the server was perfectly fine ;-)

I totally agree, I feel like a dolt for the first part of this chain of mistakes however this one i'm convinced isn't solved so simply.

So I have 2, someone suggested the 2nd version both will be posted here

Version 1 (the stock one)

@echo off

start "arma2" /min "arma2oaserver.exe" -port=2302 "-config=instance_24_Napf\config.cfg" "-cfg=instance_24_Napf\basic.cfg" "-profiles=instance_24_Napf" -name=instance_24_Napf "-mod=@DayZ_Epoch;@DayZ_Epoch_Server;" "-showscripterrors;"
 

Version 2 (edited as suggested)

  Quote

 

@echo off

 
rem path to Steam, change this!
set STEAMPATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam
 
rem server connection information
set IP=//theserversactualIP//

You misunderstand me. My suggestion was for a bat file used for connecting to a server, that is: starting your client.

 

Your bat (both, the original one and the edited one (that is, apart from the definition of unused variables, the same)) start the server.

 

Your server bat looks fine to me; evidence points to an incorrect method of connecting to the server, that's an incorrect client configuration.

 

I think your server started fine and just waits for a connection. The hive config problem you found, shouldn't come into play here because the server tries a DB connection only when the first player connects.
