Problems Hosting Private Epoch Server

[BLaZe]

I apologize up front if I'm not posting in the right place or if there are already a thread on this issue.

 

I am having an issue where when I or others try to join my current DayZ Epoch server they are able to get into the game lobby but once they try to join they get a black screen where it states they are waiting for server authentication. I personally will eventually get an error: "You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted. vilas_pl_cars". Afterwards I click ok and I get just a black screen. If I hit escape it will bring up the game menu and then I am allowed to walk around an empty field.

Server side steps taken:

-Used Steam to install Arma2 & Arma2OA (Launched both games via steam to get needed .net and ++ installed)

-Installed DayZ commander and used to update Arma2 to beta patch 103718 and install Dayz Epoch 1.0.1.5.

-Downloaded and installed MYSQL Server 5.5

-Went to Dayz Epoch website and downloaded server files and extracted to the Arma2 OA directory

-Created a new DB in MYSQL and used MYSQL Administrator to "restore" the DayZ Epoch SQL file to the dayz_epoch database that was created previously.

-Updated Hiveext.ini file to point to new MYSQL DB and update password information

-Copied Addon folder from Arma2 directory to Arma2 OA

-Created batch script based off of examples

-Able to launch dedicated server without errors

 

Thank you in advance for anyone that is able to point me in the right direction.

Download and extract the client files to your server also.

I did already have the @DayZ_Epoch extracted to the Arma2 OA directory via DayzCommander. But I did re-download the client files for manual install. I did compare and they appeared the same but copied over top of them just in case something was different. Afterwards I launched the server up and still ended up with the same error as before.

Hit your head on a rock enough times (and I was doing this for about 2-3 days) you finally take a step back to look at what was happening. Found out that adding the -mod=@DayZ_Epoch launch Parameters in DayZ commander was not enough as it was launching both DayZ and DayZ Epoch. After verified only DayZ Epoch was launched I was able to get into my server just fine and everything looks beautiful. Just wish I would have caught this sooner. Could have save a LOT of time.

I used this link to download my instance of MYSQL: https://github.com/Stapo/Lite-DayZ-Private-Server/wiki/MySQL-Server-Installation

 

After you have it installed and have your username/password to get into it you can launch the MYSQL Administrator. From there go to Catalogs and create a new Schema (database) and call it "Dayz_epoch". Once you have that you can go to the restore tab and select the Epoch SQL file that came with the Epoch server files and target the dayz_epoch schema you just created. You will need to check the box to ignore alerts and create database(s) if they don't exist.

 

There might be a better way in doing this but its how I did it and it works for me.

Guys now i made batteleye= 0 and still my frinds when they connecting having bad CD Key .. where should i close batteleye 

[BLaZe]

Do they actually own the game or are they using generated keys? I wouldn't recommend turning off batteleye unless you want to enable the hackers/cheaters onto your server.
