that's bs cause since yesterday those servers had VON re-enabled

stoic stirrup
#

Von on zeus also back?

#

Define back but fixed, did you or dedmen did some tinkering with the codes?

late kayak
#

it's safe-style back, or should be Wondering

pulsar marsh
#

It's like fixing one hole and another will open somewhere later ๐Ÿคฃ

late kayak
#

nah it's more like shooting the the barrel with holes with shotgun and then applying ductape wrap all over it ๐Ÿ˜‰

pulsar marsh
#

One could suspect you have American roots somewhere ๐Ÿ˜‚

VON happens to come back on April Fools... ๐Ÿค”

pulsar marsh
#

It will be a joke with after effect, they will remove it at midnight 2nd April ๐Ÿ˜‚

I've noticed more cheaters since VON was added back

#

So VON's back, direct communication doesn't work tho?

#

Or is it just me?

hearty tartan
#

"direct communication" ? you mean direct channel VoN?

ruby lion
#

Yes

#

Tried to use with a mate on one of the Zeus server (sorry, forgot to take note of which one) and we couldn't hear each other

#

In direct

late kayak
#

direct is disabled, that's different setting

silent anvil
#

thank god

lilac quail
#

When will global be enabled?? Because we can't talk to zeus

pulsar marsh
#

People are so demanding, April fools are over ๐Ÿ˜‚

Iโ€™m sure too, but a date would be cool. I guess if the issue is expansive then they canโ€™t give one

Wait is it all back now?

von is back?

#

Global VON was disabled for a long time, long before VON was disabled in general

silent anvil
pulsar marsh
#

Good to know

stoic stirrup
late kayak
#

will fix the global for zeus, that's just setting issue

digital tangle
#

Tbh it was pretty fun not being able to hear the zeus

#

It was mostly chaos and lightning strikes but i really enjoyed it

vale falcon
#

I am stuck "Receiving data..." in USA 02. I have tried to join twice and it hangs right there

gray kettle
#

see if other ppl are having it too

#

if the mission is running it may need to be restarted

#

old arma issue

small harness
#

So when did this become a thing? I've never seen this before

stoic stirrup
#

about a month or so

#

voice in official extraction servers does not work

fading bison
#

the teamkiller "Egg Unit" is back in the Official KOTH Test Server

#

I have video and screenshots, where do I send it?

#

@hearty tartan @upbeat python

upbeat python
#

1/ don't ping people; ping roles (@@discord_moderator)
2/ Dwarden will take care of this when he batch-bans people

fading bison
#

any idea on a timeframe; how often he batch-bans?

#

also another player named "Pepsi" might be friends with "Egg Unit" he was in the same server as him last time

#

why can't there be a teamkilling threshold to cross before someone gets kicked (if not banned)??

#

in other official servers too, which is all I play, I'm not a fan of mods and will never use them

upbeat python
#

no.

late kayak
#

there is TK treshold on the WL servers ... but there are ways around it

fading bison
#

like kill the other team/AI inbetween killing team members? That's what they're doing now in the KOTH

late kayak
#

just DM me the videos / screenshots and i hope you got GUID there

#

also there is nothing like that on KOTH server, different scenario and scriptcode

pulsar marsh
fading bison
#

And ONE tk wouldn't be the threshold anyway

pulsar marsh
#

One of us was kicked out that way because a troll kept running in front of the vehicles. Doesn't happen very often thanks to the fact that Dwarden is here but every time a new rule has been applied, the next malicious bypass wasn't far off.

merry mist
#

hacker on USA 02 zeus, id is 848d6e6475d49e40915f655fca/fde2d, name is kye.
hes breaking the server by spawning vehicles without needing a zeus, breaking the server, freezing everyone in place and disabling any access to zeus

#

other person told me he was also doing that on other zeus servers and spawning planes too

merry mist
#

shit i think i did wrong channel

hasty briar
#

Is there currently a problem with the public zeus servers?
Myself and everyone i ask to try, gets "session lost" when typing in #missions as admin, to change map and most importantly parameters. This makes it nearly unplayable.

gray kettle
#

it's because the pub zeus servers restart after every MissionEnd

#

you need to find a server that doesn't have any mission running and change it there, and it'll work fine.

hasty briar
gray kettle
#

has to be empty.

hasty briar
#

Sure, the ones i used are, i or a friend joins, vote for admin, #missions = session lost.

gray kettle
#

did you go into the mission and then do #missions or did you do it in the lobby?

#

#vote admin (name), then #missions?

hasty briar
#

I quess i should try it in the lobby, give me a sec.

gray kettle
#

because if you go in-game it counts as a missionstart

#

which would then cause a missionend.

#

though I do agree that, at the very least, it should take 2 missionends to restart.

hasty briar
#

Thanks a lot, it works! ๐Ÿฅณ
(Very wierd that one has to ask around so much and use workarounds instead of things just working.)
If it wouldnt have been for you, i would not have played for weeks.

gray kettle
#

Is what it is.

#

Arma is just a bunch of workarounds in general.

pulsar marsh

#

arma's community is by no means small.

#

just the community that strictly plays pub zeus is.

pulsar marsh
#

According to Bohemia, Arma sold 2.6 mio copies just in 2019 and over 5.5 mio RTD so far and yet they count less than 15k active players each day. I wouldn't say we have a large community. Even if we put together all private server players, they won't climb up the ranks to the top. Arma is not irrelevant (although esport platforms would disagree) but they are small after all.

#

Even "shit" games like CoD sold more, 26mio copies for MW3 and another 26mio for BO. The difference in figures are simply huge. And you know, bigger doesn't automatically mean better.

hearty tartan
#

they count
You mean steamdb counts

pulsar marsh
gray kettle
#

Active players rates arma pretty damn high

#

As of right now there are 23k players online

#

According to steamcharts which is probs the best for user activity counts

pulsar marsh
gray kettle
#

And that count btw is matching squad

#

Which is on a free weekend right now.

pulsar marsh
#

I usually check the avg count and that figure stayed stable at 15k over the last years.

pulsar marsh
gray kettle
#

it's very isolated into separate chunks

vale falcon
#

Has global channel been fixed yet? Can't log in to check if it has been added back atm

hello umm why is the vietnam zeus server locked

#

Hey there a guy being a troll on warlords and we can't get rid of him he's mining our airfield, to without being kicked, and ramming our vics,

gray kettle
#

do #beclient players in the chat, get his GUID and send it to dwarden in a DM with a description of what he did and his name, screenshots too would help.

civic pumice
#

Ok

#

The command doesn't work

gray kettle
#

#beclient players should work.

civic pumice
#

Now it did

elder junco
#

u have to get few screenshot and possible if recording

#

that cant do anythink without any single solid proof

pulsar marsh
#

most annoying if you dont even know who is the culprit

elder junco
#

ya

silent anvil
#

Can we get some more Zeus servers?

#

maybe replace some old Warlords servers or merge Endgame into Zeus, since Zeus servers just allow an admin to select a gamemode anyway

stoic stirrup
#

get in the server, vote for admin, admin restarts server, admin selects which gamemode and map to play after server reset.

gray kettle
#

Perform the #missions while a mission isn't running or starting, aka players/voted admin are in the lobby and it won't restart the server.

civic hornet
#

bro

#

any good altis life servers coming up ?

main jolt
#

Not officially

#

Hey there's a pro war Russian guy going around on the servers calling Ukrainians nazis ๐Ÿ˜’ ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

pulsar marsh
#

hey, there is a murderer running around the globe killing people, please do something...

#

how about provide exact information such as server IP, player identity and whatever the admin demands first?

shy warren
#

People said mean things on the internet

pulsar marsh
#

one of the worst I ever experience are those hater comments in Korea ๐Ÿ˜‡

paper quarry
#

Is there server admins for the Offical Servers? How do we help keep them clean from cheaters and such?

gray kettle
#

cheaters you report to dwarden with userID, name of the person and what they did, aswell as screenshots if you have as proof

pulsar marsh
#

cheaters and reports pretty frequent these days

sly verge
#

why is US server dead

#

theres only 4 ppl come join

pulsar marsh
#

too much talk in the past maybe ๐Ÿ˜‚

loud isle
#

Were to get admin support for warlords server?

#

Some dude with a really racist name is going around but we can't seem to kick him.

pulsar marsh
#

Then just ignore it, if community can't even kick grieving and worse players, what do you expect in your case? ๐Ÿ˜…

loud isle
#

A less shitty community?

#

Didn't know arma was a place for bigots to come hang out. thats kinda scary tbh.

late kayak
loud isle
#

All sorted, I'm happy. Arma's the good community I thought it was :3

pulsar marsh
pulsar marsh

We recently had countless discussions about a symbol used by Russians and official warnings were necessary to calm down people in the other channel. I dare to compare the symbol with a certain name such as Adolf. It's the people who decide to associate the symbol with certain meaning just like with the name.
I would be happy if we get all the cheaters and hackers back under control first. Aside from legal issues, I see no point in making a difference between grieving players, emotional outbursts, racist and other issues. They are all "offensive" in other words.

And for the record, there are plenty of entire countries being bigot, it's kinda meaningless to blame an online game community to be bigot because people online are not much different than offline. They are just much more cockier because they fear no consequences...

loud isle
#

If I'm joining in a group it's essential to me that that group stands up for minorities and acts to stop bigotry. I get scared when a group I enjoy playing with shows any signs of that it doesn't want to take action. Hence why I freaked when that guy was like 'Just ignore it.'

#

But also why I was really happy when I was able to hand over details to get it sorted cause now I can keep playing in the community knowing that these issues don't go ignored.

pulsar marsh

#

@pulsar marsh why so toxic?

pulsar marsh
vale falcon
#

People will be people online. blobdoggoshruggoogly . Thereโ€™s no reason to freak out over some meanie words from a random guy thousands of miles away

#

Doing so just means they win

#

Donโ€™t give attention and theyโ€™ll stop

loud isle
#

I didn't give them any attention at all. My attention went to community members and protecting the facilities we use. I specifically didn't message the explicit racist in the game. I only used vote kick and then tried to find best rout to further support when they had someone cancel out the vote kick by spamming the button. I don't want to keep having games interrupted by this stuff so IMO it's best to act and continue to act until things improve. I'm a total bitch like that ๐Ÿ™‚

#

Funny thing about all this is if the guy just took the vote kick, he'd probably be better off. It's there for a reason and if you're avoiding it (and in his case, gloating about been able to avoid it), you deserve what comes next.

some dude on the official koth server keeps teamkilling i cant even get out of spawn without him killing me

Looks like someone have eat Veteran Servers in Warlords ....

pulsar marsh
#

Oh the rage comment has been removed, I suppose I shall remove my reply to that too bc makes no sense without original msg lol

karmic elk
#

can iget get a mod into the koth test server a player by the name of potate is ramming everyone and spamming in chat to kick some other dude and saying if we wont kick this dude he is going to continue

pulsar marsh
#

Dwarden is the only ingame admin available, I highly recommend to create proof bc he is not always ingame

#

Advice:

  • screenshots
  • streaming records
  • player id (you access those IDs by opening chatbox and typing โ€ž#beclient playersโ€œ)

i've got banned on official a3 servers long time ago do you know where i can apply for unban?

Battleye Ban = The End

If that ban was justified, there won't be any possibility for appeal.

Are you looking to play with people?
pick one channel:
#looking_for_game to tell others you want to play
#looking_for_unit to tell others you are looking for a group
#communities_arma3 to browse through advertised groups

Note: Please follow the templates in those channels (if applicable), and don't use them for discussions.

#

My friend and I were both banned from Zeus USA #02 by a scripter and would like some help getting that un-done.

stoic stirrup
#

try join other official server?

glossy niche
#

Yep we are able to join any other official servers just not USA #02, this happened two days ago now and is still an issue

#

A person on that server did state that at first it simple said we had disconnected and then on rejoin it gave a message stating our ban

#

and that also the server crashed by the game mod doing something a few minutes later (thus why I believe it was a scripted who banned us)

stoic stirrup
#

can you join Zeus USA 02 now?

glossy niche
#

give me one minute to relaunch and I'll try

#

nosir, it still gives me a "you were banned" message

stoic stirrup
#

right 2 days ago

glossy niche
#

it was on Monday at 5:50pm

stoic stirrup
#

seems like the scripter able to use SysAdmin stuff to bann user.
@late kayak you may want to check this out.

#

well you just have to wait until dwarden respond, in the meantime gather information as many as you can regarding this scripter and the server USA02 the day u were 'banned' by this said scripter.

There's really nothing more I can think of doing since it was a few days ago

#

Who do I tag to report an issue with an official server? As [OFFICIAL] Arma 3 CP by Bohemia Interactive (USA) #02 Everytime someone tried to connect they get a " Connection fail" message

#

And where is [OFFICIAL] Arma 3 CP by Bohemia Interactive (USA) #1 server?

stoic stirrup
#

probably undergoing maintenance, and since people still inside, the server still open but people cant get in

wide zealot
#

@sacred karma Can you point me in the right direction? See above please

Are public zeus servers 02e and 02w down right now?

Undergoing maintenance or just down.

Any ETA on when they're back?

pulsar marsh
#

If it takes longer than expected, you may tag Dwarden and just ask him kindly. He normally answers quickly

sleek prairie
#

or don't, because I'm pretty sure he already knows

pulsar marsh
#

It's not a question of whether they know or not but if players know or not. At least there is now a webpage showing simple status of the servers. Even I didn't know that page existed and just discovered recently after someone asked if something like server monitoring existed

it's even in the channel description ๐Ÿ˜†

how to tell if router supports port forward or not?

Read the manual? Check the admin panel? Ask Google?

KOTH server down?

pine gorge
#

I have some compositions with ambient animations set in the init values, and whether they work or not seem kind of hit or miss depending on which server I'm on. Only 4 servers allow scripts like ZAM (in the US anyway, numbers 02, 02e, 02w and 04). which ones allow compositions with custom init values for things like ambient animations or vehicle color?
