0 computermancer Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 No, same here, BEC is dead. I don't have any other info. Wondering how I will do my auto-restarts now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Muffin Man Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Right Will have to edit your server's hosts file and add these: 127.0.0.1 ibattle.org 127.0.0.1 www.ibattle.org BEC can now start up, and will look at your server for updates, and just fail, but at least continue working.

0 (SLK) Grumpy Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Forgive my ignorance but what is the server host file and where is it located? I continue to get the "Waiting for server startup" when my BEC starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a dedicated host, and you have access: http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/how-do-i-modify-my-hosts-file If you pay for hosting, you need to contact them.

0 Richie Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Forgive my ignorance but what is the server host file and where is it located? I continue to get the "Waiting for server startup" when my BEC starts. Your hosts file will be at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc This only applies if you run a dedicated server like Prone says, if you use a GSP then contact your host.

0 R4ziel Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 When I leave my BEC open (it keeps restarting even after the host file entry thing) the server runs for about 20 minutes and everyone loses connection. Without BEC everything runs fine, any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Muffin Man Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 It should not be restarting if you configured the host file correctly, and your DNS lookups work as they should (look at host file first, then request DNS resolution from DNS server). Why BEC restarting should cause connections to close also does not make sense to me, as BEC only interfaces with Battleye. Unless you are running a whitelist or blocking of certain characters in player names. Did your BEC work fine before with the same config it currently has?

0 colklutz88 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I have BEC installed with the UEP installer tool, had no issues with it before, but now for some reason I absolutely cannot get the scheduler to work. It is enabled in the config file, and BEC connects to the server just fine, but it will not schedule the messages or commands. I use firedaemon to run the server and BEC as processes, so they automatically start just fine, but like I said, the scheduler doesn't work. The only reason I want it is for the restart warning messages. I can set firedaemon to automatically restart the server, but without warning messages it is inconvenient for players. Anyone have any configs that work for sure? Or a scheduler that works? I get the error stating that it couldn't check for a BEC update, could that possibly be the cause of it not scheduling commands? I find that doubtful since it seems to work for other people even to this day. So I am more leaning to my scheduler being coded wrong, or a typo.

0 ElDubya Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 ***Edit: I fixed it, nevermind.***How exactly? I am having a similar issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bob_the_K Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 What server OS are you running? I'm running Windows Server 2012 R2 and in that OS, processes that start with Firedaemon run in a separate interactive service space. I can get FD to start Arma2 and BEC separately but BEC cannot find the Arma2 server in order to connect to it. All works fine if done with batch files. I have yet to figure out why it doesn't work on Windows Server 2012 R2. Your problem sounds similar. So how DID you fix it? I may be able to apply the same (or similar fix) to mine.

Question
Muffin Man
Hi all :-)
I have noticed that my BEC restarts the whole time.
Well it closes and my monitoring script starts it again if the process is running.
Nothing in the logs why it is closing.
I also see that on the website, the service has closed down.
Am I the only one having this issue?
Are there alternatives?
