Players kicked while joining...

[lawndartleo 109]

Not even sure what to search on here because the problem I am having is not global. I run a dedicated using TA2DST. My friends and I connect just fine, I leave the server open to the public so that we can get additional players in. A fair amount of the time pubs that join are instantly disconnected. There is no indication that it is Battleye or anything else. Just [player's name] connecting, [player's name] connected, [player's name] disconnected.

This link http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?136729-Players-gettin-disconnected-from-server&highlight=connecting+connected+disconnected seems to follow what I am seeing but does not answer the question. I do require the latest ArmA2 build in the server setup as I would rather that everyone is playing with the same deck of cards. This server runs vanilla ArmA II, no mods except for the DLL which I understand improves networking stability.

Is it simply a matter of requiring a particular build? If I take that requirement off, what NEGATIVE might I expect to happen if anything? Is it something else entirely?

Yer i wrote that other thread and still have the problem with no clue to whats going on.

Its so damn annoing to se players getting disconnected from server without a single trace

in any logs to why. Many servers are in great need of players atm.

20:15:41 Player xxxxxx connecting.

20:15:54 Player xxxxxx connected (id=1234567).

20:15:55 BattlEye Server: Player #4 xxxxxx (xx.xxx.xx.xx:2305) connected

20:15:57 BattlEye Server: Player #4 xxxxxx - GUID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (unverified)

20:15:57 Player xxxxxx disconnected.

20:16:16 Player yyyy connecting.

20:16:17 Player yyyy connected (id=2345678).

20:16:17 BattlEye Server: Player #4 yyyy (yyy.yyy.yyy.yy:2304) connected

20:16:18 BattlEye Server: Player #4 yyyy - GUID: yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy (unverified)

20:16:54 Player yyyy disconnected.

Dorph, are you forcing latest build? Are you using the DLL in the mods tab? Do you verify signatures and kick duplicates?

[.kju 3245]

a) please post your server.cfg

b) quite some players tend to disconnect quickly again - like when they notice the server being empty AFTER joining

[Hud Dorph 22]

Not using force latest build

verify signatures=2

kick dublicate are not in my server.cfg - i suppose that means disabled.

What do you mean by "using dll in mods tab" ??

I do expect if clients gets kicked for a mod/signature that is not allowed by my server, it will be written in the server console - or ??

Here is my server.cfg

password="";

passwordAdmin="xxx";

It ain't empty PvP.... That's the problem there are 4 or 5 of us in. I've seen people try multiple times to join without luck. My core group has no issues.

@ [HUD]Dorph : I've just made 2 attempt to join your server, one with unauthorised mod, got rejected by the server, and another just with beta patch, got in it. Check your log and tell us.

[.kju 3245]

regularcheck="{}"; = bad. for more use forum search

vonCodecQuality=20; = may or may not cause issues for non beta users

Nothing in there about you trying to join with unauthorized mod - wonder why, seem to remember that i

always could see which mods clients got kicked for.

PvPscene thx for suggestion on regularcheck. Think i disabled it way back when it caused troubles, back to

enabled now.

Dont think vonCodecQuality=20; should get nonbeta clients kicked, but to be sure i think ill bypass it till its

in final patch.

No info to the server (server owner) about whats going on, only that a client have tried to connect

and were rejected.

While the client gets the excact reason on which file (the addon) that was rejected.

Files"c:games\arma 2\@mod\addons\mod are not asigned by a key accepted by this server.

Think this info would be of great value to server-operators too. But at least Lawndartleo the conclusion

must be that the many to us unknown disconnects, must be clients with mods not accepted by server.

Wish i had an old serverlog as im pretty sure that the info given to client ealier also was written in server.log.
