GeeBee 0 Posted January 8, 2011 Ever since the latest two patches came out I have lost my green icon for my dedicated server. I appreciate that those who are fortunate enough to have their own boxes etc need not look at this post as undoubtedly you will have got it sorted by now. This post is for us poor souls that have a GSP. I ask of the BIS team when is this going to be sorted? I will not name my server but Game Tracker had our server at No42 we are now at No147 and that’s in a matter of days! Its is so frustrating when your server depends on new blood coming into your clan as we totally rely on donations to keep it going. If the donations stop coming in then we have to stop and therefore another server closes and BIS in the long run looses money! Do you not think BIS that it is your interest to keep the clans alive? And downloading the DLC things you keep bringing out or is that not important to you? I know on my GSP it is the same train of thought for those that are running ArmA in whatever form it takes, they too are losing clients on their servrer as well. Its not just me but the many!

Sapiens 0 Posted January 8, 2011 Maybe I'm misunderstanding your post, but are you saying that your server isn't showing up in the server list? If that's the case shouldn't you contact your server provider for assistance? What makes you think the problem is on BIS's end of things? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that's the case shouldn't you contact your server provider for assistance? What makes you think the problem is on BIS's end of things? No he isnt saying that buddy, his icon on the server list is prob now YELLOW, because EITHER he has installed the latest patch on server, OR he is using the latest BETA patch on his CLIENT machine, Only way around it for you buddy is revert to the 1.57 patch and all will be green... Would be nice even if BIS has to use the diff colour icons, that they wouldnt group them all together at the bottom of the list...... If you have a server with no players on it,, (GREEN ICON) it comes further up the list than a FULL server with a Yellow icon if you list by number of players..... doesnt make any sense whatsoever.....

Sry to say but that doesnt work we had only the 1.57 patch on server i and more of our members also just had 1.57 no mods running server or clientside but still yellow we did manage a workaround on the previuos patches to make the icon green but that doesnt work on latest :confused: doesnt understand why they should have that colours icon im main server window either you have that 1.57 version or not and as gametracker we was on Number 9 now we are 35 falling down and fast Edited January 8, 2011 by blade73 brainloss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taxman 10 Posted January 8, 2011 Sorry, buddy... but I think you will find that theres a rogue element (addon ?) or summat in your server install.. if you server is not running any addons and neither are u , then it should be green,, Ours is.... compare your addons folder, File by File with the servers... What was the "work Around" u used previous ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeeBee 0 Posted January 9, 2011 The SBS server is showing green on my system with no mods running. Just moved the keys out of my server key folder appart from the bi one ran the cmd line as default (no mods etc) and still no joy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeeBee 0 Posted January 9, 2011 Think you might be missing the point Taxman. What Blade and I have done is to dissable ALL mods and have reverted back to the 1.57 patch with the same result Yellow! As per bis instructions have also tried the 77007 patch (server.exe for OA etc) still yellow with a bog standard Takistan map with no addons running on server and client!

Taxman 10 Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) hmmmm... then if thats the case,,, you need to talk with your GSP if once everything is on vanilla you still see yellow, it cant be Armas problem Can it ? ---------- Post added at 16:27 ---------- Previous post was at 16:21 ---------- The SBS server is showing green on my system with no mods running. Just moved the keys out of my server key folder appart from the bi one ran the cmd line as default (no mods etc) and still no joy. Did you try comparing your addon folder to the server addon folder ? also the expansion Addon folder buddy.. IF you are both on Same gsp, and they SET up server for you, then Maybe there is a file running around in their system that shouldnt be there, if they are copying the install from the same place.... I had same problem, it was just a case of a pbo that somehow sneaked thru (I prob fuked up some addon install lol) all I did was compare my addon folder, file by file.... takes about 5 mins.

mosh 0 Posted January 9, 2011 I think it is definitely up to the GSP to sort it out. If they can't give you a stock install that functions correctly I would call that a problem. I've had plenty of bad experiences, and one good one, with GSPs... there is a huge difference in service if you get a good one. Anyways, good luck... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeeBee 0 Posted January 10, 2011 I took taxmans advice and the concusion is that both addon folders on the server have some problems. On the server there are a number of pbos that are named in uppercase and on mine they are in lowercase, can this be a cause to the problem? It also looks like some of the pbos are way out of date. Any advice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
