๐Ÿ˜ญ ZAM bans people from official servers too??

stoic stirrup
#

thought they were warned about using this script? @late kayak.

this is why we can't have nice things, people be abusing the script on official server, that would result in the server get their script privilege revoked.

I'm now immediately being kicked from the server by admin constantly. I've not crashed servers, trolled, nor harassed anyone.

Hi

gray kettle
#

Hi

soft goblet
# gray kettle It's an automated system

An automated, third party, non Bohmeia System.

Expung3d, creator of EZM, just pushed an update to EZM that added my steamid to his "troll/autokick" list, for purely personal reasons, not for any real reasons.

#

Everyone else on that list also has essentially the same story. They upset Expung3d and his friends, Expung3d uses his mass-used script to just ban people from ANY server running EZM.

#

He even went as far as to add "Harassment" on the reason, when I've been the one being harrased for... checks list complaining about his script abuse in the past.

#

Expung3d was even the one BEGGING @late kayak to enable scripts on Public Zeus years back. Theoretically, so he can play god.

#

He's also now updated the kick message to blame the Zeus instead of ZAM.

#

"Ask the zeus to disable server protection."

hearty tartan
#

I'm sure Expung3d would be able to provide proof if the ban is valid.

#

I've been seeing a lot of vote kicking in the official Warlords (US) servers. It seems that a group of people are targeting players who are strategizing and being effective opponents.

#

All of the votes come from players you never see on the battlefield.

dire citrus
soft goblet
#

Can't really say that's the same as multiple months of in game harassment

#

But sure, I'll admit where I was in the wrong.

#

Did I? Yes. Does that mean they can play god? No?

dire citrus
#

hence i said

the script is BS and singling out 10 people doesnt do anything. along with them having a backdoor in it and imo it shouldnt be allowed on our official servers

soft goblet
#

Yeah, no, I saw that part before I went too off on you lol

#

I'd rather clear things up about the "borderline harassing" though, because that's just not true at all. They spin their story and give half the story.

Being called out by a BIS moderator for "borderline harassing them in their discord" is kind of funny given the in-game harassment I got nearly every time I played for MONTHS (still, actually) after their script got taken down.

I joined their server to talk to them BEFORE everything happened, and see if there was a way he'd want to approach things so things DIDN'T have to go the way they did, and I was met with childish responses and told off.

I joined their server AFTER to watch their tears and enjoy them a bit. I joined it one last time later to watch another person crash out.

That's it.

dire citrus
#

They spin their story and give half the story.
I didnt hear anything from them, I'm reading your messages in there

stuff you would have gotten banned for, had it been in here

soft goblet
#

Lol, okay then, feel free. Let's talk about what's been happening in game then?

#

How, even if I change my name, I still face the same exact harassment?

#

How me and another person were talking about having to buy another copy of the game to avoid it?

#

The things you CAN'T read in logs?

#

I'd argue in game harassment is far more worthy of an in-game ban for harassment, than "borderline harassment on a third party discord server" is, which makes me wonder why you brought up their discord to begin with? Because, if their ban for harasment was for the things I said in discord, why was it added yesterday?

dire citrus
#

if their ban for harasment was for the things I said in discord, why was it added yesterday?
I don't know, its a third party script that i already said I don't agree with it running on our official servers.
We can't control what other people do with their scripts and I also don't know what happen/happened behind closed doors.

why you brought up their discord to begin with?
Because i recognized your name from the original drama

gray kettle
dire citrus
#

But there should def be a look at if this should be allowed to run on the official servers imo, but thats on dwarden

soft goblet
#

Because i recognized your name from the original drama
Fair enough.

soft goblet
gray kettle
#

You can also identify people through the steam overlay by shift+tabbing when somebody joins and clicking on players in the general card that shows up

soft goblet
#

So they don't have our UID or name tied to them.

#

I've joined a server and within 2 minutes some of the same people will MOVE from the other server into the server I'm in just to f**k with me

#

I've started timers.

gray kettle
#

Idk when I frequented pub zeus as a zeus and/or voted admin I never really bothered with ban lists or whatever else, it's just too much effort to something that arguably can just be dealt 90% of the time at the moment and shouldn't take that much headspace, esp now that kicking somebody is also a temp ban so you don't need to sit there and continuously kick somebody as they constantly try to reconnect.

gray kettle
soft goblet
#

This isn't even an in-game admin doing it. It's EZM doing it silently in the background. You can still "join" the server, but there's a message that says you've been kicked for "reason" and when you click the only button available to close it, it disconnects you.

gray kettle
#

Yeah I know this isn't the first time it was talked about here

#

I've already said my bit about it back then, I don't think it's okay a third party group blocks you from a service they don't own and assume a monopoly on it, however BI isn't willing to actually enforce on their official servers and make Dwarden do it all solo so this is arguably just the better outcome

#

So long as they don't just ban every person for existing or start crashing servers there's not much reason for BI to intervene

soft goblet
#

Lanker, the EZM banlist doesn't actually ban the people it bans for the reasons it says it does... Not sure if you're aware, but as far as I'm aware, ALL of the people on that list are people who have at some point in the past have had negative interactions with ZAM/Expung3d personally.

#

Not actually causing issues.

#

Otherwise, there'd be a forum for the public to ask for people to be added to the list.

#

When EZM+ was on the workshop, someone reached out to me and told me their story. My UID is now right below theirs on the ban list.

gray kettle
#

That's still hearsay to me, unless I see some proof of some sort.
And believe me I have a few reservations about Expunged and ZAM, but I just can't automatically believe this story

#

Not like my opinion really matters here regardless

soft goblet
#

Hearsey or not, where's their proof for the bans?

#

More specifically, why did they remove the appeal message? They are now completely unappealable, you just have to beg Zeus to turn off server protection.

gray kettle
#

They don't need to provide it and that's just the accepted status quo

soft goblet
#

Lol

#

Aight

gray kettle
#

I don't think it's okay but that is what the situation turned out to be

soft goblet
#

Bro, it's literally a ban list controlled by a single person who offers no routes to appeal OR for the public to ask for someone to be added to it. I don't get how anyone thinks that's okay.

#

It wasn't even updated for 9 months

#

Oops

gray kettle
#

I mean things have been worse in public zeus at times

#

BI finds this good enough

#

Hence this is where we are

#

You could get a decently sized group to protest to BI to maybe get a reaction but far as I see it they see EZM as justified in this

#

You are just the one person here

soft goblet
#

Not sure what you're saying, but nah, definitely not "just the one person" and I'm pretty sure they don't exactly see EZM as justified in their "banlist."

gray kettle
#

I mean if you want BI to stop EZM from doing this you need to create enough noise

soft goblet
#

Which....

#

is...

#

why...

#

I...

#

am....

#

#

#

"imo it shouldn't be allowed"

soft goblet
#

So, I'm really not the only one?

gray kettle
#

You're the only one complaining here actively

soft goblet
#

You LITERALLY just said nothing will happen if noise is not made

#

So I'm making NOISE

gray kettle
#

Not enough noise as I said, to make more noise you'd want the other people who got banned to come here and complain about it

soft goblet
#

I can have at least one of them here in probably 30 minutes.

#

But most of them just don't want to deal with this shit anymore.

late kayak
#

stop, the bans stays, it's not some minor breach of rules ...

sharp shadow
#

the issue is that it's arbitrarily set based on personal interactions from what i read

dire citrus
#

I also don't understand why we let people who have been banned from the workshop for having a sqf executor for themselves in that same code arbitrarily ban people from our servers

hearty tartan
late kayak
#

was this rhetoric question or i'm missing something

dire citrus
#

The server protection function that remains running the moment EZM runs on the server has a whitelist for ~10 people that can then execute sqf by having a profile var. its the reason they got banned from the workshop

late kayak
#

there is no EZM on the servers ...

dire citrus
#

the sqf compositon

late kayak
#

the sqf compositions with partial script (not the full one) support is enabled on half of the servers because there are others who use it, ofcourse it will be abused by some

hearty tartan
#

Everyone can paste any script in compositions, nothing we can really do about it

soft goblet
#

There's even a sketchy .exe auto updater which they ask you to put into your autorun.

late kayak
soft goblet
#

10-4

late kayak
#

see the problem is very simple, if the abuse of the composition scripting became a problem, then there will be no more any composition enabled servers

#

in short because of action of few, you can't have nice things

#

we were nice enough to give you 'as much as possible' opened servers for advanced zeus w/o risking those being total mess (the full access)

soft goblet
#

I mean, would it be impossible to have a version of that specific script built in to the mission?

#

I agree, I do.

late kayak
#

if you want that i suggest you host your own server

soft goblet
#

Already done, but yup. I getcha.

late kayak
#

we can't please everyone, people complain about lack fo voting, about balance of voting, about voting being enable, about voting being disabled

#

same goes about the missions, we offer wide range of servers gameplay type missions for A3, may more than most of other gamedev would bother

#

and that's for game which is over decade years on the market ... the AAA corporations would forget they have servers in 2 years

soft goblet
#

You, both you personally, and BIS, are a genuine gem in the gamedev space. Ultimately, it's your decision as to what to do, and I didn't know that it was basically just yours. If there's not a way to solve this without outright disabling scripts on public Zeus, I think it should be left as is. The scripts make things better. It's the people who abuse them that cause the issues.

# hearty tartan You don't know that. The person who was banned says that, but you don't know if ...

yo dude, I complained of this exact thing about a year and a half ago and you said much the same to me. I even recall sending you proof and it appears you're still quite insistent that these bans are legitimate. When multiple people have become aware of the exact same issue and are coming to you about it saying much the same thing do you not think it might be grounds to take them a little bit seriously.

#

Not even a complaint about the script itself atp I know there's sod all that can be done but you respond to these complaints really poorly

hearty tartan
#

I even recall sending you proof
Found the old ticket #1312917629123432499 message
You told me he banned you for a personal argument and no actual reason. But no proof, just a statement by a person that was banned saying he's innocent.

When multiple people have become aware of the exact same issue
No not really. We had groups of people, up to dozens, come and band together saying they were unfairly banned from this Discord and never did anything.
But our ban records and the proof we collect with every ban, clearly showed that we have valid reasons.

strange lance

# strange lance I am now going to intervene in this discussion and state very clearly as a state...

you were so obsessed with taking EZM down, saw EZM as an enemy, insulted everyone and pissed on them, colloquially speaking, that now youโ€™re crying about the consequences of YOUR OWN behavior. are you serious? how pathetic. you filed a report for the re-upload of ezm that was in my workshop set to PRIVATE. no one could see or download it, yet you maliciously submitted this report, which led to a PERMANENT ban of my workshop. a ban that is NOT JUSTIFIED! a PERMANENT EXCLUSION is the LAST of all measures that may be taken according to Steamโ€™s guidelines. there may be warnings and individual items can be taken down. in my case, I never violated any guideline that would have justified this. you go around excluding everyone and then wonder why YOU are EXCLUDED. thereโ€™s a reason for everything and
WITHOUT EZM OFFICIAL ZEUS WOULD DIE! just for your info BI. if that is not the case, why does NO ONE play on the servers where ScriptCompositionLevel 2 is not allowed? I have been involved for a very long time, previously active in Warlords, reports were hardly heard. The community has made the best out of Zeus that could have been done. And let's be honest BI, how long would it take you to simply equip the original Zeus logic with all the features that EZM would also provide? EZM arose on the basis that you were not willing to deliver further content in this regard, and now this community decision is bad because the community simply does not want to be messed with by someone like him. EZM is not the bad guy in this matter.

late kayak
#

you do realize the ban didn't happen based on what reports says but what was found inside the code of mod ? especially that obfuscated parts of it (and that was just one of several other reasons)

#

those bans don't happen just because some hear say and some random report ...

# late kayak you do realize the ban didn't happen based on what reports says but what was fou...

Dwarden, what are the reasons for this? I respect you, and this isn't meant to sound rude, but in the entire time I've had my account, there has never been a single violation of any policy. For years, I've created content for the Arma 3 community, and this unjustified, permanent ban makes it impossible to update older versions, such as mods or similar content. Neither the title nor the description can be changed to at least indicate this. This was a far too excessive measure back then and was by no means justified. It would be fine to remove individual pieces of content, but not things that are completely unrelated. I know the two main reasons why you removed EZM. While I have nothing to do with EZM per se, I inevitably dealt with the topic at the time. Your main arguments were two things: Point 1: "Only Zeus is allowed to execute scripts according to the game mode." Point 2: "Whitelisted players have access to certain things, and the concern is that someone might maliciously exploit this." I'll be honest, I can understand point 2 without question, but that was mainly for emergency fixes in older versions. If a module or something similar suddenly and massively limited performance for whatever reason, you had access to fix it. You could simply let them know and say, "Please come to US2 for a moment, there are problems with EZM," and someone would come and fix it, based on what I know. EZM never had any malicious intent. Regarding point 1, there are now enough scripts that unlock Zeus for any player who wants it, even after restarting a mission, provided they're on a list. EZM really wasn't anything bad in that respect. As for my upload, it wasn't malicious, nor was it even intended for public viewing at the time. As I said, I'm a community manager, and that severely limits the possibilities for all the other projects I had and still have in the works for Arma 3. It's important to adjust descriptions and be able to update things.

Kinda sad tbh.

#

Asking for "proof" is really ridiculous too, especially when the EZM bans are unproofed anyway. Not everyone spends their time screen shoting conversations they had with randoms on the internet, not everyone can record in game interactions, and even if they did, do you expect them to sit on those for an unlimited period of time?

On the one hand, it's a real blessing that no one has to deal with you outside your four walls. On the other hand, it says a lot about you if you can't even get your hands on some weed with anyone out there. I'll refrain from further comments about how you apparently only find joy in annoying or hurting others, and I'll just keep my thoughts to myself, like many others. But you should consider which of your actions actually have a reaction. A friend of mine once said, "If you provoke me, you can't choose my reaction," and he's right about that. Just think about it, man.

the bit about the ports needing to improve worries me, it probably shouldn't, but it suggests that BI isn't happy with where they are at ๐Ÿ˜ฆ For whatever it's worth, multiplayer is actually pretty good right now, main issues are with third party singleplayer/coop scenarios. We've got the ArmaOnUnix server at least for now as the only semi-permanent server, with some organised events going on most weeks but something official and therefore optimised would be fantastic.

Hey guys, I was curious what's going on with the Offical Zeus Servers... Apart from fixing the issues where the US servers were stuck on Tanoa 48 +2, Thanks by the way, When are we going to be getting an update to be able to use all "Things"? It's a pretty big deal not being able to put up small fortifications and what not. Those objects really enhance the gameplay. It was said a while back that in the next stable update it would be fixed but that hasn't happened. Can you offer any insight?

#

@late kayak

#

Never mind Dwarden, I just saw your post in Zeus_discussion

late kayak
#

well, what i'm now more interested in hearing about is, if the bug about not being able switch map-scenario (for voted in admin) is still there or not

#

was reported for 1.64 but it was random and i wasn't able replicate it myself

#

all the official servers have whitelisted any zeus missions so it should be possible to change them easily

spice hollow
#

@late kayak I had reported it but since the update I haven't seen that happen whatsoever. I'm not sure what had caused it but USA 2/3/4 were down for a few days and then it was only USA 3/4 and eventually it dwindled down to just USA 4... and then it was fixed.

So good job on that! ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Also.. as a note to everyone, My friend Blackwolf and I have been hosting a multi-day Tanoa Invasion on the Offical servers during the US EST evening times. The server normally fills up pretty quick but anyone who can play the game without being a jerk is welcome! Also, would it be possible to open up more than just 16+2 per faction for Offical zeus servers? May 32+2 or 32+3?

Hello, I am a frequent visitor of the ArmA 3 Bohemia Interactive Official Servers, and I've been wondering if the Official Zeus Scenarios are gonna be updated anytime soon? I know you've probably been asked this alot, but alot of things seem to be missing from the Scenarios which limit the Zeus' creativity, creativity and freedom of mission making sort of being the main focus of Zeus.

#

I am also a regular to the official zeus servers and i can say this has been an issue for quite a while (I think july the Apex expansion which added the loadout/spawning system) where we can no longer place objects and add a greater variety of missions

That is a good question. WHen do we get all the objects unlocked again?

@turbid scroll We had the situation where you could only vote admin during timeout, that sadly didn't work too well either. Right now the issue is as described above. It was just a question in generall. Because sadly it happens a lot lately.

solar jackal
#

EU servers 09 and 10 arent allowing people to join

#

I wouldnt advise suggesting to remove #vote admin. There are cases of people becoming an admin for a long period of time but the majority of time, people are able to be smart and make the admin a player on the ground who can remove poor quality game masters. Its a public server anyway, cant expect everyone to get along.

lost fossil
#

@kol, if you have 16 people on a server you need 14 votes to become admin, that means that everyone exept zues and moderator have to vote someone on ground. hence the 85% so no one can hover over a zues slot

Yesterday I joined one of the official Zeus server and every single joining player triggered an "illegal copies may degrade" warning message in chat. What's up with that? Haven't seen that on other servers I've played recently

late kayak
#

@tame portal strange, can you PM me the number/IP of the server in question ?

tame portal
#

Yup, just a moment

#

Ok, sent, there weren't any other problems; well aside from random TKers

gaunt shard
#

I have seen this "illegal copies may degrade" warning message pop up a lot lately. Not on every Official Zeus server mind you but it was enough that I noticed the spike.

gaunt shard
#

I can't join Zeus EU #01 ... is that server running some other version?

runic turtle
#

Its running 1.66, but there does appear to be a problem. I just checked and got stuck on the loading screen for a very long time before I quit.

@runic turtle that was what happened to me too. does that maybe mean it was locked?

wasteland/koth author has own Discord, do reports there, they have own shared banlist for all KOTH/Wasteland servers
for now it's pointless to bug us about random griefer on random server, that is just non-manageable workload
there are more important things to be sorted first (features, framework, bugs ec.) before that can be handled w/o losing all hair

neon shell
#

I understand there are more important issues, but in the meantime there is literally no place to make reports if something happend on an official server. I went to the KOTH/Wasteland server's discord and they told me that since they didn't own the server they can't do a thing.

neon shell
#

Also, here is a cheater. The guy took down at least 5 jets on single-silent missile hits from a Tigris without rearming. This happend also on the same official server

solar jackal
#

video is not available

#

well silent missles are a known problem on some game types. we had the same today on liberation but it was the missle from an AI jet

#

if you are in a vehicle sometimes you don't here the missles

neon shell
#

now available. The silent missile is not the main issue, the thing is that the guy could shoot you down with only one, and he didn't need to rearm to kill multiple jets without using the gun.

@narrow comet We finally got the rcon info from BI and those two servers will start to see some moderation and you can report stuff on here then: https://discord.gg/Kyjdt2Z

solar jackal
#

Suggestion: Moderation positions for the official Zeus servers

#

Strictly to kick teamkillers and trolls, requires screen-recording, reports, and logging

#

Disputes between players and Game Masters/Moderators will be left between those two parties to decide

#

Moderators will restart the mission as necessary in case the GM chooses the wrong mission end (not sure if this bug still exits, but if the mission is not ended as CONTINUE or LOSER, the server doesn't reload the mission)

#

Voted admins are generally okay, but it's hard to amass the votes required to get one.

#

Having frequently active vouched admins would make things easier.

neon ravine
#

Its dissapointing playing on the official servers and seeing the same trolls doing the same old trolling each and every week. A mod team that could ban players would be nice.

@raven peak I understand that Bohemia can't take action against certain behaviour as it would be near impossible to moderate. Admin abusers, griefers etc. However, what are the policies in regards to Zeuses who outright attempt to crash the server physically?

raven peak
#

I don't moderate Zues but I'm pretty sure trying to crash the server would be against rules.

@late kayak If you have time, any input?

#

there is plenty of servers to pick from, you can vote if there is problem and if you can't change it well best is host own server

it would be logistically impossible to handle every unclear problem (next to direct attacks on server itself or blatant cheats or easily spottable spam etc)

@raven peak I got a strange error when I try to join Koth EU #1 it always gives back : "Connecting failed", even though the browser still shows 1 more free slot The funny thing is EU#2 doesn't behave like this, and friends of mine got the same problems, also it's reproducible. Could you help me out I liked to play there.

raven peak

neon ravine
#

Until official servers gets a proper mod team, don't clog up the chat by reporting hackers. Unless they're ripping apart the map or crashing it there's no point telling the devs. This should apply to normal players as well, because well although i think people like Melik Emir and Scott Hall should be banned, its not gonna help anyone if i start crying on here.

Are they on a KOTH server?

The two people i mentioned? not that i know of. They've plagued the zeus servers for eons though.

There's a mod team for the official KOTH servers? Sweet

it's still better you use the official KOTH/wasteland discord than this channel ...

I'm very curious as to how hackers could be on the official Koth server, they'd surely be asking for a battleye ban if they manage to get on with hacks?

molten oracle
#

But in Koth, verify signatures is on, BE/BE filters and everything, I wouldn't of thought someone would have bothered to go that far for such a game mode

there is always someone who want cheat the system, no matter how much you try prevent it, you can just increase the treshold into level where the chances are neglible and not worth it

Why isn't there a preset in the Zeus missions to activate revive yet? Is it not possible to put that in the presets? I remember seeing the setup for revive in the Apex campaign start screen.
If it isn't possible to put it into the parameters could there be a version of the Zeus missions with revive? From what I have heard players on the Official BI Zeus servers would really like to see this. Its vanilla and wed like to work with it on the Official servers but we can't use it. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

gaunt shard
#

The Apex campaign only allowed for a few settings if I recall correctly not the whole slew of possible ones ... for ease of use and implementation I guess that would be the best way to do it.

#

Since you bring it up. The mre in depth settings could just be the default ones already in use in eg endgame. just with a on of switch in the parameters. If that is possible

#

It can ne really immersion breaking if you have to respawn even though there is a medic right nex to you already

One very important question, Why do we have tactical ping on lower dificulties where it is not too usefull and not on higher dificulties where it would be a great asset?

tall thistle

@solar jackal Anecdotally speaking... go sufficiently low and slow in a Y-32 Xi'an and it is entirely possible; someone claimed to have been shot down by an IFV main gun after they mistook its fire for 'mere' 12.7 mm/.50-cal.

neon ravine
#

@gaunt shard New Players benefit from a giant "THERE'S SOMETHING HERE YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING AT" circle. As for Veteran, it makes it more dificult and more important for players to be able to properly point out stuff. To be honest its mostly used by experienced players or Squad Leaders, so your point is valid though.

solar jackal
#

@tall thistle still was insane that I got shot by a varsuk from 2000m away lol

@tall thistle only reason I was low there was cus I wasn't able to get a lock on a cheetah so I went low beside s hill to go get him then I go for a strafe on him then got taken out

where to go ask for the official servers to show player names that are talking? the game is insufferable this way with stupid twats just yelling stupid shit and the only insults you care about are in chat while not doing jack shit about them shittalking via voice but people being forced to make fucking reports

#

thats very poor moderating

sweet mortar
#

also, why is it that you find time to ban people for "bad language" but don't take any issue with little children of 10 years old at best playing your game? don't you think it might be an issue that you are hosting and giving access to a game like that to little children?

#

or are you even trying to accomodate the game to them by not giving a fuck on whats going on but someone cursing?

#

might as well go play pony island or some shit like that, jesus fuck...

runic turtle
#

You do realise that the "Official Servers" are moderated by someone else completely. Finally, two of the most important words you may ever hear "Parental Responsibility". A reseller has a duty to ensure that a purchaser is old enough to purchase a product and a parent has the responsibility to know what their child is up to.
Though it's quite ironic that you come here and use "bad language".
See Dwarden's post below for clarification.

#

Grrr, tags on mobile! Sorry "other Michael".

Wait, the official Zeus servers are not hosted by Bohemia? ๐Ÿ˜…

I remember Dwarden restarting them for us, and such things.

#

@gaunt shard no, they are BI servers (andmy test servers), just confusion of some about official KOTH, as those servers are utilizing the KOTH community banlist and moderators

normal pecan
#

it is a little confusing, they aren't "Official KOTH" as in run by the KOTH devs, but "Official BI servers running KOTH but moderated by KOTH team"

lyric stone
#

Well Dwarden (BI) simly does not have people that moderate them for free or the time to do it themselves. The KotH community has many admins putting countless hours combined into enforcing some basic rules on servers, so why not let them moderate their own mod?

is there an issue with the Zeus Master Altis mission (the 50 player one) or the Official servers that causes the Zeus to crash a lot

#logout worked for me so far ... I will test it right away

it worked @solar jackal

#

Worst situation ever: You log into a Pub Zeus server server ask "whats up?" and get kicked right away ... -.- ... people ...

#

multiple tries to get into EU #2 and each resulted in a kick from the voted admin ... the community on the pub Zeus servers needs Netiquette or something ๐Ÿ™„

neon ravine
#

@gaunt shard awwwrh do you miss the times when the server would start a riot as soon as the admin became zeus?

#

To be honest the admin as zeus is fine as long as the admin knows how to zeus and doesn't have the ego to continously force themselves into the position without asking the players first.

gaunt shard
#

It is a very rare exception that someone can seperate the two. In the end its like saying any option to abuse power should be open for everyone as long as nobody does it. Its just a plain no-go. And the last week on Zeus servers just proved that. Yesterday evening almost every Server had a Zeus + Admin in a double role and usually they were giving a very bad counter example to what you just said.

#

Worst of all people treat the servers like they own them once they are voted admin. Almost makes me want to ask Dwarden to get rid of Admin vote alltogether but we know that doesn't work because its so important for Zeus missions with the parameters to be setup and having to kick griefers.

#

If only Vote Kick Threshold wasn't so high :/

He killed a freindly helicopter with the Mohawk in safe zone, then he killed the tyres of friendly Ifrit out of safe zone, then he was shot. So he came back with RPG and he shot the friendly Ifrit waiting for engineer.

anyone here that can help me?

thanks in advance, because surely you care so much and actually do something... ๐Ÿ˜‚

guess i'll just have to keep this one here open and constantly report in the hopes that something is done eventually in one case at least before i get annoyed and say "bad words" again, getting me banned instead because why giving a fuck about the people trying to play sincerely when you can just piss them off by making them report slaves tediously taking screens when instead you could have someone just right there intervening ... ... nvm, better make players do the work, just don't forget to buy the DLCs, amirite...

#

meanwhile that guy is still pretty much making the game unplayable for the whole blufor faction by buying a mohawk and hovering, just waiting to blow anyone up trying to leave...

but yay, i'm being a good boy and don't call him names because that'd hurt his feewings, and thats bad! ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ‘Œ

@elfin patio Schneller#6186 Had you taken a minute to look a few posts above yours, you have noticed the link to the KOTH/Wasteland Discord. They are the ones that deal with TKers / Etc.

@solar jackal oh no. The same thing about combat patrol. Leave it in one channel and stop indirectly advertising

Since this topic involves both the oficial servers and the dev branch there is some overlap

so if he brought it up in multiple channels say both here and in Dev branch channel then that would both be correct

oh right, i have to not just look at the sign with the link on it ingame, i have to either take a wild guess or look through more text on the discord to find the place to report people... you got to be kidding me @runic turtle - if you think this is normal and functional server moderation and how it should work, then you are clearly out of touch with reality and have no idea what you're talking about and your attitude you gave me in your reply it is clear that you are way too arrogant that there's even a point in talking sense into you

but whatever, let's just keep people base trolling every day at any time because you are too incompetent to get a efficient reporting system or management at all working and rather get whiney over language than actually game affecting trolling

Hey BI, I've just checked on the Public Zeus official servers and it seems that they do not have the new Malden Zeus scenarios available, though revive in the parameters seem to show up and are fine. Can you get the Malden scenarios on possibly?

#

Oh also, apparently the combat patrol scenarios aren't showing up either.

gaunt shard
#

Listen to lanker! PLease let us enjoy glorious Csat escape from Malden with random people on the official servers

#

Hes hiding under a false name

#

cheeky little bugger

#

I personally don't see the point of not having all oficial misisons on the official servers ... I was wondering why they didn't havee them while the servers were still on dev, but now its confusing me even more

#

but arent the servers just normal Arma servers

#

no mission upload required if they update them normally

#

and they are updated so they took them out of the mission rotation

gray kettle
#

Nah, they probs messed up the updating of servers.

#

the only way to explain why there's no Malden zeus on public zeus

#

Might be something else, but I dunno much about how BI works.

#

or ArmA in anything that is technical.

gaunt shard
#

AFAIK they would have to set up a mission list manually and not include the missions in it for them to not be there ...

so that woul dbe weird ... snince IDK malden in their new baby and they hide it pretty well

Also Escape Malden is still not in every servers mission list. Not even on the ones labeled Escape

gray kettle
#

Apparently people are reporting that malden missions are gone on pub zeus again, not just the escape ones.

#

Oh, and ontop of that, the Revive parameters are gone from the missions.

#

Not all of the servers seem to have that issue, as #0D doesn't have the revive parameters nor the malden missions, while #05 seems to have the revive parameters and the malden missions.

smoky nymph
#

@gray kettle arent they all running the same mission file though? That wouldnt make sense if it was different on each server

gaunt shard
#

They are official arma 3 servers so they of course should have all the official arma 3 misisons ... exept for the endgame and campaign mission servers i dont see why they would restrict the playable/selctable missions

late kayak
#

missions votelists are restricted , it depends on missions used (e.g. endgame is limited to same size endgame missions, zeus is allowed to vote anything, combatpatrol and coop locked to same type)

gaunt shard
#

I support it too, just saying that there are still some issues to be ironed out. Like the Escape servers not allowing to pick the 'Escape Malden'-mission even though they are set to default to the mission after mission end. With all the settings being set up before mission start sometimes a "#missions" is necesarry.

Am i the only one noticing Official servers booting people when the mission ends?

i mean, they're using it against people. they know i can't know who they are

@gaunt shard they have turned off that on the official server i was playing on. probably for 'immersion'

No, the parameter is for logged-in admins only

In that case, are there any tricks that I can do as Zeus to place the USS Freedom in a mission? Because it's not placeable from the asset list in the R menu.

like the hospital? if so, have fun doing those micro adjustments to get it to lign up propperly

@late kayak if you want administration on those new KotH servers consider sending @solar jackal the rcon data. Also the setup with no killfeed and especially no nametag showing who is speaking is making it really hard to moderate at times. Also scoreboard would not hurt imo.

Following message was posted in announcements in the KoTH Discord:RoidRage_C4G - Today at 9:24 PM
@everyone

Dear KoTH players,

As of yesterday, many of you noticed and asked what's happened to the Bohemia Interactive hosted KOTH servers.

The KOTH servers were initially being hosted in order to help test and locate multiplayer bugs. After that the servers started taking off and did quite well. This was fortunate and unfortunate at the same time. While it was an honour to be hosted by Bohemia Interactive, it hurt the player numbers for the other official communities.

This was a big downside for us, we were burdened with doing all the Admin work (Ban, Kicks, Appeals, Profile restores) All done by Admins from other communities along with a couple independent ones. Due to that we were impacting upon our own numbers, doing extra work but at the same time hurting our own respective communities.

We still love you guys and understand certain aspects of the official servers (HC Servers) will be missed. Have no fear we have already replaced those servers with servers from different communities.

HostileTakeover.co - King Of The Hill - EU #1 - HC 24/7 Day : 5.196.33.254:2302
CodeFourGaming - King Of The Hill Infantry EU #2 - HC : 188.165.240.170:2502

#

I don't know if we can link to that message, so I copied and pasted it here.

#

Hopefully it will answer a lot of questions people like me had.

#

We will dearly miss the truly hardcore servers ๐Ÿ˜ž

#

no standard hc server with everything enabled, thats a bit of a let down tbh

solar jackal
#

@hoary parrot yup koth hc with everything enabled is dead

#

#

yeah that sucks, was quite enjoyable at night, just about every server is 24/7 day..

#

Plenty of KotH servers out there, just not Bohemia hosted.

Plenty of total servers, but when you filter out by what you want, there may be only a handful or none left.

#

How do we deal with trolls on the official servers? Is there any quorum that needs to be met for voting for kicking?

#

Like 2/3 players need to vote or 50% of players need to vote or some other requirement.

runic turtle
#

yes, to vote admin then vote kick

deep shale
#

Same problem, it doesn't work until, maybe it requires all to vote unanimously and the misbehaving player does not vote that is the reason.

Public Zeus Server EU #0D seems to be non-functional, can't be joined at all.

gaunt shard
#

That be a nasty thing to do :/

solar jackal
#

Glad I'm not the only who's noticed a shift in the temperament of the official Zeus playerbase.

#

Nowadays, the servers are filled with reactionary 14-year-olds who would probably vote Hitler for server admin if he shouted angrily enough.

#

I think a big part of this problem is the loss of a sense of community

runic turtle
#

And that is why most players who've been around since launch don't play on public servers.

gaunt shard
#

I do :/

#

You get lucky every now and then FM but mostly Howdy is right. Sadly people use the public servers to be nasty on because there is no connsequences and they can be mean without anyone being able to stop them. Mostly anyway.

#

There is the odd good group that manages to play a mission together. But even voting admin to set parameters sometimes ends up as a major discussion. Even on Escape missions.

void dragon
#

That's exactly the reason TFC and lots of other Zeus units were founded.

neon ravine
#

There used to be a nice community on the public servers. Even though it was cancer most times, the servers actually had decent people organising missions, teaching mechanics, etc. Now if you jump on, you either get a mixture of impatience, incompetence or just salt. The public servers are a great idea, especially for newer players, because of the whole "no consequences to fucking up" aspect, but thats abused. I've seen the same trolls time after time on public zeus since it launched, and its only getting worse. The situation mentioned by Fern has happened many a time, and its downright unacceptable. A dedicated mod team would help the servers, but in the end its down to the community. Apart from Finn's terrible british accent attempts, Public zeus has funnily enough given me some of the best memories i have in Arma. But its a shame to see what it is now.

gaunt shard
#

British acents sound funny no matter who uses them. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

gray kettle
#

Woah, in relation to @solar jackal , i don't know where you got the idea i kicked people who weren't clan members of my clan, because in those times I wasn't even IN a clan, I DID kick people who weren't in squads or refused to listen to SLs(which wasn't friendly in the first place, but still). In regards to the current community on public zeus, I'd hate to point fingers, but honestly ever since Quick Play was implemented, while pub zeus got a huge influx from that, it also managed to get triple the regular amount of trolls and non-effecient players on the server. Due to how Quick Play just seems to prioritize the BI servers constantly we get a bunch of randoms that barely stick around on the servers for longer than an hour, and people who didn't buy ArmA 3 for what it was actually made.

#

Quick Play is essentially, in my opinion, just increasing the impatience because it gives the kind of feeling you can quickly hop on for a little action and leave, and that's what people seem to expect.

#

Sure, it helped new players find what they want, but it seems to have ruined the community of public zeus moreso than helping in anything.

solar jackal
#

Could the one veteran only zeus server that's down be brought back online please? Thanks. seems to back online, cheers

karmic marsh
#

I used to use the Public Servers last year quite a bit and had a few favorites ...It seems all my favorites have been shut down and now it's filled with what previous posters has stated already. It's the one reason I got into Mission Making and am starting a private server. The downside is you have to recruit and that's a different beast all together. I do think there needs to be more curration for the Public Servers so those who don't want a CoD style community can continue to enjoy them. Oh, well. On to greener pastures I guess ๐Ÿ˜‚

solar jackal
#

Some very good games today, glad to see people use veteran more

gaunt shard
#

I agree with Lanker on the quickplay issue.

#

Since quickplay was implemented the Zeus servers have declined drastically.

smoky nymph
#

Maybe because when you use quickplay its finding the best server for your connection rather than just anu? @Finn Simmons#4180

gray kettle
#

Not really.

#

It depends on what you put on Quick Play.

#

the Best Server isn't filtered by the fastest connection,

#

it's filtered by the amount of players.

#

ontop of that, it seems to prioritize public zeus servers.

smoky nymph
#

That's an interesting assumption

gray kettle
#

if it DID filter best connection, it wouldn't connect people to public zeus.

#

for example,

#

when I use Quick Play, i don't get connected to servers in my area.

#

I get connected to Public Zeus.

smoky nymph
#

I wonder why, letme ask you here

#

Did you filter for best game ot any?

gray kettle
#

best server.

smoky nymph
#

I am also pretty positive you can select a ping range

gray kettle
#

people wouldn't bother with that though.

smoky nymph
#

That doesnt mean they are on the decline you idiot

#

That just means people don't bother using their heads and want their cod deathmatch

gray kettle
#

exactly.

#

I didn't imply that though.

#

but it DOES attract the wrong kind of audience to the game.

#

also, i'd appreciate if you keep ad hominem out of the conversation.

smoky nymph
#

No but you certainly didnt hesitate on agreeing,

#

Exactly

#

You see videos of people like this "Operator Drewski" guy that leads everyone to think KOTH is the pinnacle of the game

gray kettle
#

That is another thing making arma 3 worse.

#

But that is far from related to the main issue of public zeus.

#

the problem isn't people wanting to play KOTH.

#

it is that ever since Quick Play showed, a HUGE influx of players showed up on pub zeus.

#

And yes, I am completely certain on that.

smoky nymph
#

" but it DOES attract the wrong kind of audience to the game." is what sparked my reply. Don't try to go back on what you had said

#

Because Zeus servers were being thrown into the mix as a filter

#

Beforehand you might as well just filter for official servers to find anything hosting game master

gray kettle
#

true.

#

But then again, when Quick Play WASN'T in the game, public zeus was practically dying.

#

Barely anybody nowadays seems to bother skimming through a server list due to it being what I presume too complicated.

#

we had about an average of 1-4 people on public zeus on average and on weekends have rarely gotten a 14 player server.

smoky nymph
#

Too complicated for a simpleton

gray kettle
#

Definitely.

#

But then again,

#

at the core of the game,

#

it was never supposed to attract a simple audience, in my opinion.

#

Don't see why it has to.

smoky nymph
#

And i honestly think BI should do something to scare them off

#

Im done having people like that on my server

gray kettle
#

I'd say removing quick play would be the best solution then.

#

Force them to use their brain.

#

take a little adventure.

smoky nymph
#

Lol, yep. Won't scare them off completely though. You will still have the lifers, wasteland players, koth players, exile players, casual players.

gray kettle
#

but they'll stick to their environment.

smoky nymph
#

I think you would be surprised. I had one guy join us for a military op and almost left 10 minutes after because he wanted to play altis life. Claimed it looked interesting but he didnt want to put the time into it

gray kettle
#

Too bad for him.

smoky nymph
#

Yep

gray kettle
#

Atleast he didn't stick around and be a complete asshole.

smoky nymph
#

Very true.

gray kettle
#

But anyways, back to the topic at hand,

#

Quick Play either needs to be removed,

#

or needs to be reworked.

#

Either way, it isn't bringing ANYTHING good to public zeus and arma 3 as a whole.

smoky nymph
#

My hand is on the first option there

gray kettle
#

Also, on another note, is it possible for the public zeus servers' view distance to be increased more than the current 1000 meters distance? While it's good and all, with piloting any aircraft or unmanned drone it is practically impossible to perform high-altitude or long-distance reconnaissance without the low view distance blocking us from doing so.. 3000 would be enough of an improvement for it, if possible.

gaunt shard
#

its 1300 i am pretty sure and its for balance reasons in PvP

#

might be 1250 or 1350 ... im not mister yardstick-eyes

gray kettle
#

Well, I personally feel that is still too low.

#

plus, PvP RARELY shows up on public zeus, and when it does it doesn't even do it justice.

The server is very real and one of our longest running servers and yes it is one of our Official BMR Insurgency servers. As the mission author I can verify.. BIS is not the only ones who can have official servers. You're welcome and free to try it out and prove/disprove any hoax .

gaunt shard
#

Of course Bohemias servers are the only ones that can be Official. Their server tag actually does something. E.g. sort the server under the Official servers tab. So no your server is not be an [Official] server and trying to look like one is a dubious practice at the very least.

they not official from us, aka as not listed in the url in topic ... simple as that ... (also trying to copy the official naming scheme will not get you the official tag so that's just naivity)

Sorry Finn I but I'm not making any false claims here, but I believe you are. Dwardens last statement is the most accurate. IF BIS holds exclusive right to use Official in server name then point me to right direction here..

solar jackal
#

@slate bay How is it official if it's not hosted by BI? Why are you trying to make it seem like it's hosted by BI? I don't understand.

#

Are you trying to trick retards like me into thinking this is official?

slate bay
#

As Dwarden said it not official from BIS, but it is one of the Official BMR Insurgency servers. I'm not trying to trick you. Many that join realize what it is and that + the quality server and smooth gameplay is why they are there. Don't know how to clarify it anymore. Maybe read the posts above again.

solar jackal

@slate bay But BMR didn't make arma. Also you made the spaces and symbols exactly like BI made them: [ OFFICIAL ]

slate bay
#

Again Im not making any of these false claims that you guys are making. If I'm in the wrong I'm sure Dwarden would have said so already. Thanks for the attention though.

solar jackal
#

@slate bay Dwarden said your server is fake and said you're naive, so I'm not sure why you keep referring to him as if he's on your "side". You're misleading people like some email scammer.

slate bay
#

I'm not naive. I'm completely aware. If you were misled by filtering for official tag then perhaps you have discovered a bug and Dwarden was wrong. You then should report the problem to feedback tracker. You are being naive and trolling. Dwarden knows where and how to get at me. I'm Done.

solar jackal
#

@slate bay I'm not the one calling you naive but I appreciate the aggressiveness. I wasn't mislead by filtering, I was mislead into joining by you faking the official server tag. I don't think you are "aware" if you think Dwarden thinks your server is fake and at the same time approves it. What you have accomplished is the sketchiest server in arma , congrats. I'm Done Too

@solar jackal @slate bay Please keep in mind that if a mission creator chooses to call their mission "Official", they are not necessarily saying that it is made by BI. As with KotH, it is their "Official mission" as compared to the many idiots who make derivatives of it without seeking the original (Ofiicial authors) permission, Whilst "Official" may seem misleading, one must see it within the context that is used.

solar jackal
#

@runic turtle I don't understand why you wrote this comment. A lot of servers have "official" in their name, which is silly. Everybody who has opened the server list knows this. He has [ OFFICIAL ], which is exactly how BI writes it. Do I need to spell this out for you?

#

I admit im only here to argue at this point but i just dont understand how you cant see what he's doing

runic turtle
#

If you're only here for an argument, you can find another server. Lots of people use "official", but that does not make it so. It does not take a genius to figure that out.

solar jackal
#

jesus christ

#

he has "[ OFFICIAL ]"

#

which is how BI distinguishes their official servers from other "official" ones

#

i mean i dont have a personal stake in this and neither have you but jesus

runic turtle
#

Is it on their official server list?

solar jackal
#

no, thats how we know its fake

#

it wouldnt be fake otherwise

runic turtle
#

I'm aware of that, that's why I said it.

#

If it's not on their list, it's obviously fake.

solar jackal
#

uh huh

#

im sorry i have to ask what was your poin t exactly

runic turtle
#

That unless it's on BI's official server list, it's not official.

solar jackal
#

i have no words

#

enough, it's not official server , period, no further discussion needed

but this is fun

You can troll. Dwarden , myself and others will moderate ๐Ÿ”จ

im sorry but you just cant have the last word

well, i'm quite sure that for obvious reason, i could have last words ... unless someone took my matrix access #โƒฃ

@gray kettle I was talking about Palavan (PLVN) as one of the clans that made Dwarden increase the vote threshold

gaunt shard
#

Oh yea I remember that ... they would take over servers and force everyone to do their thing ... which most of the time was bad missions with a sad attempt at a terrible story

#

THen again if you feel you have to go to Zeus servers and do Milsim there i feel with you

#

sad little piggies

gray kettle
#

Oh palaven, I was not part of them, but I managed to sneak into one of their server-filling bullshit one time as a moderator, and I did note to them they should not do that kind of shit, but they seem to not give a shit, and I was NEVER affiliated with them.

What is the official stance on units holding public servers hostage?

#

is that okay or not? because its anyoing tbh

solar jackal

Last time that hapened Dwarden increased the vote threshold and disabled voting in-mission.

smoky nymph

For a very good reason

Lock on the pub servers needs to be fixed

#

griefers have it to easy to set up autojoin

also spawning markers in zeus needs to be diaabled

#

Does anyone know whether or not you can create custom prop compositions in Eden and use them in the Official Zeus servers?

#

As there are already Prop compositions by default. There must be a way to create new ones there or?

lunar sand
#

Who is in charge of the official servers?

late kayak
#

what you need @lunar sand ?

wise hearth
#

how does one go about listing their servers as a official server?

solar jackal
#
  1. Be from Bohemia Interactive
  2. Don't not be from Bohemia Interactive
late kayak
#

@wise hearth one doesn't , only BI servers are official default Arma 3 servers and that's it ...

ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

frosty drum

Pretty tired of scripters on the official servers ruining everything

frosty drum
#

Theres some scripters I know who have all got there hands on a fresh new PBO hider and are all already banned from life servers so are using it on the zeus ones now

gaunt shard
#

Can we please deactivate the debug console again? It really doesn't help. Invincible admins all arround.

#

The behaviour of the admins has become worse now that its been activated.

gaunt shard
#

The limitations we had so far were good. In fact once the Arsenal loading glitch is fixed I will be happy. Being able to load everything you want in is just not what Zeus Mode should be about. Take what the Zeus gives you and do the mission. And Debug Console just adds to the problem. Also it's called "Debug"-Console fokr a reason. Its not an "extend Zeus functionality"-Console.

still grotto
#

zeus can piss players off anyway if they want to

#

disabling the debug console doesn't change that

gaunt shard
#

It takes away a large part of ways they can do so and that's a good thing.

โš  EU-wide officials servers experiencing outage , not on our end ...

solar summit
#

Can someone come to Zeus EU #0B a guy keeps rejoining instantly after he gets kicked and is ruining the mission and teamkilling.

late kayak
#

@solar summit you can always ask your Zeus to place that guy on remote island, with pistol and one bullet and tons of angry armed AI (or hungry animals erm zombies)

#

if he lasts more than dozen cycles then i guess #lock is innevible

frosty comet
#

@late kayak do you know if theres a admin available to kick this Deadly Fury dude off of Arma 3 CP USA #1?

#

He's teamkilling literally everyone

#

Been doing it for like, 30 minutes

late kayak
#

@frosty comet vote to kick him, vote in admin, kick him off , lock the server ... or like me, demand server-side automatic features (vs teamkilling, vs instant rejoin after kicked)

frosty comet
#

Well, we have tried to vote kick him

#

And tried to do Vote Admin

late kayak
#

i know he will come back, hence why the only solution are in-engine automated features, not naively hope there will be 24/7 server admins banning random trolls

#

because there is always "one more troll to ban"

frosty comet
#

This is on a official Arma 3 Server by Bohemia Interactive :o?

late kayak
#

@frosty comet yes but like i said it's impossible to manage stuff like Team killing, Chat spamming, Mic(Voc) spamming etc.

#

w/o properly done in-engine tools for server-admins ...

frosty comet
#

ah

late kayak
#

i would be not doing anything else than TRY to react to those reports , often to no avail (no trace or person already gone)

#

often there are even random disputes about who gets what weapon, who gets zeus and clashes over the roles

#

except ban all how i can resolve that ? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

another gamemode, people complains about spawn killing or vehicle steals ...
same ballpark, shall be fixed in the missions scripting or engine feature , not admin trying to figure who is wrong or right

#

admins shall do the work which can't be automated not the other way

#

in short @frosty comet i wish there was simple solution i could offer right now ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

solar jackal
#

Add anti-friendly fire scripts and params to ZGM, and fix the bug where revive incapacitation messages don't show up for curators

#

Also, add spectating to the respawn screen on ZGM

You guys know how to add addon free arma radio to a public zeus server?

Care to explain what exactly do you mean by "addon free arma radio"?

โ€ฆ unless you've been scattered and need to form ad-hoc group structuresโ€ฆ

#

there's a how-to in the first post

nimble mango
#

Yeah, any way to upload mission files to public servers or no

#

Ive been looking to make some more fun stuff on pub servers

#

Yeah, i have a hard time getting ports forwarded without router access

#

Any tips?

smoky nymph
#

Never use UPNP

#

It is very unsecure and will cause problems. Forward the ports or don't do it at all

#

If you have problems forwarding ports, contact your isp

#

I really don't understand why people get the notion that they can upload their own missions to public servers.

nimble mango
#

I dont have access to my router to portforward

#

Any workarounds?

smoky nymph
#

Then call your isp to forward them for you. Please move this to #server_admins , you will recieve more help with this there

nimble mango
#

Okay

smoky nymph
#

Do not use UPNP, do not use any workarounds

nimble mango
#

Okay, thanks

molten oracle
#

@Midnight#4592 Most consumer routers have it enabled by default though

#

And if it's as unsecure as it sounds, why's there a checkbox for it when hosting?

#

I'm aware it has its insecurities

smoky nymph
#

@molten oracle Because sometimes people just don't muscle enough strength to call their isp. Of course its enabled by default.

#

Just because a giant button is asking you to press it, doesn't mean you need to press it

molten oracle
#

@smoky nymph I now comprehend exactly why youu shouldn't hit that button /s

smoky nymph
#

๐Ÿ˜Ž

molten oracle
#

I'm genuinely curious what difference it makes in enabling and not enabling if the router has UPNP enabled by default

#

As I'm struggling to see if any would be made

smoky nymph
#

Well UPNP isn't ever used by the modem unless a client needs to use it

#

So i guess its enabled by default in case people didnt know why it wasnt working

molten oracle
#

But isn't the router having the ability/having it usable still a risk in its self?

smoky nymph
#

Yeah, i would presume so.

molten oracle
#

I'm curious to what risks are then increased when enabling it whilst in-game hosting for Arma

smoky nymph
#

May be susceptible to an attack withought any commonly used port

molten oracle
#

Because, I'm only aware of it being a risk when it's enabled on the router, I don't see enabling it in-game ccausing the risk to grow

smoky nymph
#

I notice there is a signficant amount of connection issues with it in arma

#

Other than that, i am not sure i know either
