As a protest against Bis for allowing Server monetization i am terminating all services associated with Bec.

Good bye Bis it has been a great time.

Regards.

So does this mean the current BEC will stop working?

[Scorpi]

I have no connection to bec.

Depends if there is a 'phone home' mechanism built into it.

Either way it's going to cause long term issues until Bohemia or someone else releases an alternative.

BEC is not working. Anyone got alternative to get scheduled restarts ????

you can just set up events in windows task manager to restart the servers but you will have no warnings.

WOW...

 

Well this was bad news... Looks like the dial home function stopped all from working for me... FIX.

 

Open notepad as Admin. (right click notepad run as admin). Then open your host file (%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) and add the following to the bottom.

 

127.0.0.1 www.ibattle.org

127.0.0.1 ibattle.org

 

The following also should also work find if you put it into your run box then make your edits and save

runas.exe /user:Administrator "notepad %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts"

**Maybe due to me using reporter functions but this still fixed/bypassed that

Argh!! Cmon, why punish the community ?? This is BAD NEWS.

edit your host file and add the following

 

127.0.0.1 www.ibattle.org

127.0.0.1 ibattle.org

Worked, Cheers.

This hurts us all.  :( Guess I'll have to stay up and restart my server every 4 hours. More coke and meth lol. But seriously. There has to be an alternative to using BEC to do the restarts.

How did you guys change the dial home function?

[mephistohate]

what do you mean by "host file"?

[auzgamer]

Worked, Cheers.

Where is this file that i add these?

 127.0.0.1 www.ibattle.org

127.0.0.1 ibattle.org

c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

 

lol @ admins who don't know what it is .. ROFL.

[0verHeaT]

I have fixed it by blocking the Bec.exe in the firewall.

[stonXer]

Thanks for the quickfix :D

Don't feel offended lol.

 

It's like someone who claims to be a car driver asking how to start the vehicle.

 

Some basic things (and hosts file is as basic as it can get) are truly the 1st baby steps someone learns when doing admin/network stuff.

 

I can ROFL as much as I want at ppl who together run 1000 servers and don't have a clue what they're doing, getting playernumers per server down and just don't know sh*t about how to admin/troubleshoot a server.

[Draftkid]

For real lol, thanks though m8!

[nedfox]

Yep, great fix if you can actually block those exe's (needs sw firewall).. it's basic port 80 traffic so trying to block it in your hardware router is harder unless you do the same as editing your hosts file: BIN all traffic to those 2 hosts.

not everyone knows everything, they do learn as they go nedfox. I've come a long way and still don't know everything but I can tell you I've spent hours each day reading and learning new things. I haven't been to any networking classes but I have 8 hours each day being a supervisor at work with a lot of spare time! Thank you again for your knowledge about this and helping many poor people out..
