martuk66 10 Posted May 4, 2014 Have the BE master servers been stopped for Arma 2 Free/Vanilla? I can resolve "arma2oa1.battleye.com" okay but i assume Arma 2 vanilla uses another host name. All my other OA / DayZ / A3 servers are fine, just 2 vanilla/free servers that report BE master failure to update and admins are unable to kick via BEC other than through rcon. Thanks for any help!

martuk66 10 Posted May 7, 2014 Further to this - would the normal Arma 2 servers no longer be supported as well? How would the master servers differentiate between a free server and a normal server ... slightly confused as to why battleye master servers have been stopped because of this.
