RCON no longer working?

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I've recently encountered some problems with my ArmA 2 server. About a week or two ago, I noticed my server was no longer recognized by GameTracker or GameSpy. I did some reading online and discovered there was apparently some change in the way ArmA 2 servers report to the server trackers. Well, after a few days that issue seemed to resolve itself. But, I'm noticing another problem that seems to have started around the same time. My BattlEye RCON tool no longer works. :-(

When I try to login to my server as admin via RCON tool, it just says it cannot connect to the server. Now, my RCON tool was working fine for a long time, and I havn't changed ANYTHING. But ever since the problem a couple weeks ago with the server not being recognized by GameTracker, I've not been able to login using the RCON tool. Has something changed in RCON? What is going on here? Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me?

If the problem is on my end, then I have no idea what it could be. I have checked my firewall and router settings, disabled anti-virus, and redownloaded the RCON tool from www.battleye.com .

Also, referring to the server tracker protocol change or w/e: Was there a sticky thread that I missed about this? Because I couldn't find much info on the forums here about it. On Gametracker.com's forums, there were several other arma 2 server admins complaining of the same problem.

It would be nice if there were stickies for major issues like this... :-/

Any help or advice is much appreciated :-)

yes there where some changes to the rcon protocol. recheck your Bercon tool version.

0.92 beta is the one you want.

Thanks for the response nuxil. Okay the issue is resolved and I'm a bit embarrassed :o lol I forgot, I had disabled BE in my server.cfg file.

I did this a while back because BE was constantly kicking people for no good reason. :-/ I have re-enabled it and the BERCon tool is working fine now. :-) Although, BE is now kicking people again an awful lot, people who I know are not cheating and have perfectly good connections/pings. So I'm not sure if it's worth it...
