Second GAF server incoming. Resolving one issue with the host and then I just need to set it up. I actually have RDP access so I can update the files whenever we want.

I cant join any servers after the 1.6 update. Im either looking at waiting for server response for ages or I spawn in the debug forest unable to move.
I love playing with Gaffers. Playing in group is much nicer. However, a huge 8 man group as we had the other day is pretty nonsensical. We can't keep tabs on everyone, specially since most of us (including me) are horrible at giving directions. 4-man groups are ideal. I just wish I had my personal Gibbs to cover me and be aware of what's happening at the entire city at all times.
And I guess you're supposed to kill everybody now, right? As I died with the gaffers before we even left the airport (booo
), I respawned like 8 times and died all of them by some other player that killed me, even the ones that I found on the city and helped me deal with zombies.
There was just one dude that was running in the middle of the road opposite to me, so I started screaming all crazy on direct comm and he stopped and talked to me a little bit (but I wasn't interested in him), and since I couldn't hear shit, we just parted ways.
Everybody else just gunned me on sight.
I guess i'll finally turn into a "shoot first, ask questions later" kind of guy.

What settings are you putting down for the second server?

Gibs saved our asses last night in Berezino. Had a random guy on a rooftop of an apt building just over top of all of us (there were like 5 or 6 gaffers) Gib called him out and killed him. The guy said he knew we were around there too. He had the high ground on all of us and could have killed us all.
Gib gave him a ticket to see St Peter :lol
Having sniper cover when raiding a town is SO USEFUL.

Roughly the same settings. This time we get to see what settings there are, so we'll see.

Server is UP! TX8 is the server. Has NeoGAF.com at the beginning. I have RDP access to this server so I can updated HIVE and the DayZ files whenever I want, no waiting.
AJ - I have no idea if vehicles are enabled.

It really sucks, i know. While this is in beta, I would advise you to not really get too attached to any location right now.

And by beta you mean alpha.

Oh shit, did I type Beta? LOL
Funny thing was I was visualizing the word 'Alpha' while typing it haha

If anyone has a chance, can you test logging into our new server? It's floating around 15-20 people, but a lot are in the lobby. Thinking there might be an issue, but I can't log into the game right now.
I haven't even seen it on the lists since you made a post about it.
What in the world did the latest update do to this game? FPS is terrible and every server is damn near unplayable. I was in a barn, and then all of a sudden right in front of me 3 player characters popped in front of me, ran to a wall, and kept running into the wall, obviously glitched/lagged. then 3 seconds later I die, presumably shot by one of the players. Eh. Think I'm done until they release the next update.

Fucked how? You guys need to be more specific when you complain.
Sorry 'bout that. Was in game. No loot. I just left Elektro which only had two Czech Packs and nothing else. None of the buildings between it and Cherno had any either. People were whining about it on chat all around. Panda can confirm this since he found nothing either.

It's always there so long as a lot of people are trying to connect.
I restarted the second server. If someone could check for it, that would be appreciated:
Server name: NeoGAF.com|DayZ Zombie RPG - TX8 | (v1.6.0.1) dayzmod.com | Hosted by DayZHosting.com

Can someone post what our first servers name is?
Dallas 19, TX 8 are GAF servers. I think the server wasn't showing because I had my filters set for "DayZ" on server name and mission. I set filter for "TX" and found it. TX 8 is 1.6.0 so it's a hotfix behind.

The other server will get vehicles before that one, a member of the dev team will need to manually add vehicle spawn points to the instance.
Also you should probably set the time zone on that one so dawn starts to break around 10 pm central

Can it be run as an Arma 2 beta patch server?
OrangeYouGlad
Banned
I'm sure it technically could given I have RDP access to the server itself. I'm not sure the effort is worth it, especially when you all just want it patched to that to reduce the amount of traffic.
Can someone check TX8 to see if it's working now? I redownloaded all of the DayZ and server files.

It's for performance and mainly so we can use direct coms to better organize multiple groups.

Working perfectly then. Now both of our servers are officially up. Going to look into installing the BattleEye extended scripts mod, which auto kicks idlers and allows me the ability to setup multiple levels of admins.

Plus 1 sale for Bohemia on Steam. A good console friend did his own research and stumbled on a story from Kotaku. He basically came to me and said this game looks like the real deal and something special. I'm sure this story can be echoed for lots of people's friends who stumble on coverage for DayZ.
Yea my friend was like "Pfft it's probably shit" when I told him I was playing a mod for Arma II and then a few days later he was anxious to get in the servers LOL
Man this game/mod is tough on noobs. I managed to get onto the 'Gaf server, i pretty soon was being munched on by a zombie. It then became a turn based game, whereby after every shot i took, the Zombie got in 3-4 bites before i was able to shoot again. I finally managed to kill it, but in trying to figure out how to reload, some git shot me.
Guess i better watch some 'how to' videos as i don't get the controls at all.

OP was updated with new info.
Thanks for that, should've checked first really!
I got the beta patch working yesterday, but I can't get it to work through steam (I need my overlay and hour counter dammit). I added the whole -beta=Expansionblahblah stuff to the launch options in steam, but I get a vague "error creating direct3d 9 engine." Which turns up about a billion results on google, none of which were helpful. Has anybody else managed to do this properly?
Edit: To clarify, I don't mean launching it from steam as a non-steam game.

Well, the beta patch uses a whole other exe (I think the beta exe's and stuff are in the expansion folder). I did see a way to get the steam overlay for the beta patch somewhere a few days ago but can't find it now
.Oh sorry I took it off since it was just to show the dudes at mumble how far I got :-D Might put it on at some point again if I still have the raw file.
