$ables just posted in another thread that the master server's back online. I'm gratefull that A2 still has BE for at least the time being.

Thanks $able !!!

Sorry to wake this thread up again ... just hoping for some clarity. The past week or so our 2x Arma 2 (free compatible unmodded servers) have lost connection with the BE master servers. "arma21.battleye.com" is still pingable on the box in question. Alot of our players are regular (non-free) players and as far as i'm aware Arma 2 is still available to buy. So is my BE master problem locally to me or is everyone having the same problem on their A2 servers?

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.

Thanks for that! ... can't believe i missed the announcement :k:

Update ... okay i can ping "arma21.battleye.com" on the server okay so i assume the master server is still up - anyone know what would cause this problem??? please ... anyone ???

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!
