Stuck on 'Creating' & 'Waits for host'

[smithy]

Right. Tried my best here. Got Windows 2012 server installed, fresh new dedi. Trying to run Epoch, and it's stuck on the errors of 'Creating' and 'Waits for host'.

 

Followed the standard  to complete, every step went through fine (as far as I know).

 

However getting these errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Suggestions very welcome. Thanks!

if i was to guess..

it's because you're using build 112555,  a beta version

 

 

1. 11:55:16 BattlEye Server: IMPORTANT: Effective immediately BattlEye is no longer

 

the message cuts off. but what it says

IMPORTANT: Effective iummediately BattlEye is no longer providing protection for servers using outdated non-Steam versions of the game. 

 

you're stuck at wait for host, and it is unable to verify your guid with battleye

 

so you've got two options here, update to the latest version of arma 2 oa server. -OR- disable battleye protection. 

 

11:52:47 GameSpy QR2 error: 5, No challenge value was received from the master server.

also you might want to update your config to include the steam and steamquery ports

add 

 

steamport = 2300;

steamqueryport = 2301;

 

to the top of your config. (if its not already there)

So I have to remove the beta patch. What is the latest version to use then? Mind providing a link?

I've also read it maybe a white listing issue? Is that still the case? If so, I'm struggling to contact DayZ!

to update on my dedicated server i just used steamCMD

 

installed steamcmd,

created a batch file, saved it in the steamCMD folder 

 

and ran it

@echo off
steamcmd +login "steamusername" "steampassword" +force_install_dir f:\arma2\ +app_update "33910" validate +quit
steamcmd +login "steamusername" "steampassword" +force_install_dir f:\arma2oa\ +app_update "33930" validate +quit
echo ----------------------------------------
echo Download Complete
echo ----------------------------------------
pause

then use the arma2oaserver.exe that is in the root of the operation arrowhead folder, not the one thats in expansions\beta
