How to Report Bugs and Getting Help

[Airwaves Man]

How to report script bugs and problems:

This small guide will give you an overview what we need to help you resolving bugs.

Write your problem as exact as possible and please provide more information as only one sentence. If you show no logs we cannot or will not help you. Write a meaningful headline.

1. What mods do you have installed and on what map do you play?
   • Epoch, Overpoch (Overwatch+Epoch), Overpochins (Overwatch+Origins+Epoch)
   • Chernarus, Napf, Namalsk, Taviana, Sauerland, Panthera, Lingor and other
2. What scripts do you have installed?
   • This is very important because there can be relations betwenn different scripts.
3. What Anti Hack do you have installed?
   • At the moment there are two common Anti Hacks out there:
     • Epoch Admin Tools(free)
     • infistar(not free)
4. What ist the name of your server host?
   • Certain Gameserver Hoster will not work very well with a custom epoch. If you have a dedicated server you should be good.
5. Check your launch parameters from your server and your client.
   • Do not start the server or the client with -nologs
   • Add to your client –showScriptErrors
     • You can do that in the DayZ Launcher --> settings --> Check Show Script Errors or you start your game with a batch file.
6. Provide Logs from 5.
   • This mean show us your server and client logs. Client logs can be found under
     • C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 OA
     • It is possbile that the folder is hidden in windows. You can make it visible:
       • https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028316/windows-view-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-10
     • If you have Battleye kicks show the kick logs from your battleye folder.
   • If you have problems with lost gear you can add the HiveExt.log as well. The file is in the same folder like the server.rpt
   • Do not post the logs directly here, use pastebin.com, google drive or something like that and add the link.

If you provide all these information there is a good chance we can help fast and efficient.

Only for the record:

If you are new to the Arma 2 Epoch Community and new to start servers. Please stay away from the Legacy Resources in the forum and use only the normal Resources. Legacy Resources are outdated. If you have a better knowlegde in scripting you can try to adjust the scripts from Legacy Resources  but for now please stay at the normal Resources forum.
