Server error: Player without identity

[toron]

I'm in a desperate state... I istalled a server on my local machine, everything was running smoothly, so i rented a KVM-Server and uploaded my files. And hey, it works great...seemingly. If a group of players connect immediately after the serverstart  (while the hive is writing the vehicles into the database) then there are strange issues.
 

Client:
- sometimes endless loop: authenticate, retry authenticate
- sometimes: authenticate, retry authenticate, authenticate, retry authenticate and kick back to mission screen
- sometimes 3-4 time try to authenticate and no gender selection
- sometimes 1-2 time autheticate

Server
- Database-Entries in player_data / PlayerName : error
- rpt: Server error: Player without identity NICKNAME (id 0000000)
- player name variable empty
 

I installed a vanilla-server too, but there are the same issues. It would be great if someone could answer the following questions:

1. can you understand my english? :D
2. what can i do?
3. it's possible to send players in a queue while the vehicle are written?
 

I hope you can understand this post. thx for your help.

1. Yes it's understandable.

2. This happens on all and every server. Authenticating and loading missions is designed for the missions in arma 2, where you have players load the mission and complete it. In DayZ you don't really have a "mission", it's more like a constant mission that should run 24/7 but it can't due to loot/lag problems, hence the 3-4 hour restarts servers do. The only way to fix this is to wait either 1-2 min after restart before joining or whenever you join and get this bug you just have to rejoin.

3. The players are already in a "queue" when they join a server.
