Stuck on requesting server authentication

[hitmanc]

Hello Epoch team and forum users.

 

It seems I have stumbled across an issue with the mod, I recently rented a new server from a company.

 

Being a server with nothing on, I had to install the mod ect, after installing the mod and ensuring the server is running the latest version plus beta file I fired it up, all great it lets you connect until you hit 'Ok' and try to spawn in.

 

You quite literally get stuck on Requesting server authentication, nothing happens apart from after a while you get sent back to the menu where you choose your slots.

 

Does any of this sound familiar if so can anyone provide a possible fix on the issue?

 

Many thanks Epoch Team and Users!

Well, there is one of your problems. Not sure why those are defined as "![enemyTag];". Try to replace that file with one I posted.

[casshern]

tryed its no different , thanks tho

[Sukkaed]

Ok, and bottom of your config.cfg you have difficulty defined?

class Missions
{
class DayZ {
template = dayz_epoch_11.chernarus;
difficulty = "veteran";
};
};

You have rmod2 installed? It's in your starting parameters.

How does the .RPT log look after you changed the cfgdayz.ArmA2OAprofile file?

[casshern]

no rmod, wanted to get it running before adding anything,

 

yeah its set in the config fine

[Sukkaed]

Maybe you should remove it from your starting parameters then.

 

-mod=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\expansion;ca;@rmod2;@dayz_epoch;@dayz_epoch_server

[casshern]

its with a hosting firm and dont work and we dont have that access 

[Sukkaed]

You really should contact the provider if that is fresh installed server and it doesn't work.

[casshern]

yeah we have , still waiting a reply since yesturday :( ............not good like

[hitmanc]

We've double checked everything you had said and thanks for trying to help Sukkaed, we really appreciate it however it is still the same.

 

After doing what you had said, the players section on DayZ commander now shows up in Red instead of Grey. Not sure If I am allowed to post the server IP here or not but will show a screenshot.

Sounds like it's something the host needs to resolve on their end, if default install is resulting in these issues. Sucks but you'll probably need to wait on them to fix it.

[Sukkaed]

:)  It's normally red when full. Hows your .RPT log looking now? That is 20 slot server? Can you also post your config.cfg file if you don't want to wait response from the hoster. They will probably fix it as soon as they see it.

[hitmanc]

Fair enough, after a 13 hour wait they finally messaged back saying they are looking into it. Shame, were looking to actually be playing on it tonight :(.

 

Will keep the board updated on what they did to resolve the issue in case anyone else has the same.

 

**Edit:

 I would love to but been asked not to log into the server with TCAdmin while they try to resolve the issue :(

[auzgamer]

any fix for this i get the same issue on a dedicated box once players die they cant log back in or if the server gets over 40 takes a god 40 min to log in

If it's letting you or anyone on at all it's a different problem. However, sounds like a performance issue, weak CPU/RAM/Connection for the dedi, or an ass load of errors lagging the connection with the database. I had the same problem once due to errors spamming my RPT once a good few were on the server. I used to not take much care to look at the RPT if everything seemed to be working. Cost me quite a bit or server performance and in end result loss or regular players. Check or even stream the RPT if you can and see what its doing when you start the server and when people join/die

thanks dude ill check it out, the server itself is not even running at 50 percent so i know its a database issue its slow to communicate
