Ephox Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I recently bought a server from HFB, it took 20hrs from purchase until i got the server. I wanted a dayz epoch server, so i made the mod Epoch but the mod was only 1.0.1.4 which is really bad. I am not sure how to add a custom mod, but then if i do i loose BEC extended control. The #adminlogin does not work, i set the vehicle spawn to 500 but only found 1 vehicle so far. Spent an hour looking with that car and nothing else. Can anyone help me with my problems? I'd rather not switch but at this moment there doesn't seem anything else left to do. Amos_nax, amandabif, CarlRabil and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ephox Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 we have a HFB server and it is patched up to 1.0.2.2. problem is that it went down yesterday morning and is still down. no answer to support tickets :( I put up a support ticket yesterday, about 2hrs ago, still no response. How did you patch it up to 1.0.2.2? And have you tried reinstalling old version of epoch and see if it starts then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Control panel, Game services, update. The control panel servers were hit by DDoS attacks recently. All passwords worked for me, you have to set your admin password yourself. Epoch populates cars dynamically so they will be near roads and buildings. Vehicle do not spawn in 500 at a time, they come in over restarts which is when it checks for objects and determines how many are in game. You don't need to spend hours looking for a car, simply check your database to see how many and where they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axeman Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 So there were issues with the control panel and they have had another DDOS attack.. Seems to be more of a 'common issue' with game server hosts, I am curious why someone would DDOS a game server. Regardless, Survivor King, do you have any access to your server ? I can ping your server, using the IP in your signature, and it is accepting RDP connections.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No access whatsoever, no control panel, no support, server shutdown 5 minutes after i lost control over control panel. I have had alot more issues than that. I cant connect, just says waiting for host. it's like it is stuck in an infinite restart loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanmanfm Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 good, then maybe our server will get back online soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Just to update a little on HFB, I would not recommend them to anyone. Since the server migration which they did without warning other than a "yeah we will be doing it sometime in the next 14 days" the performance of the server dropped markedly with only a few players on and a very small objects list. Added to this every time you open a support ticket it gets deleted usually with a totally lame and implausible excuse on the explanation. Then you have the DDOS attacks, which are frequent and target the Control Panel and bring it down, sometimes for hours at a time. I am thinking of moving to Vilayer since they also host Arma 3 servers, but I have a feeling it will be the same with them, and any other resellers, which I presume is all they are. So I guess I need to go to the source and learn how to manage one properly! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
