Hello all!
Fragnet has been quick to respond and wonderful in looking into our server downtime. I figured I would post an official news update since it is being asked on the forums.
Here’s the scoop with our server:
- 0.60 update caused a massive influx of server requests for DayZ servers to Fragnet (and I am assuming other hosts)
- Fragnet setup new servers to address the load and a new admin platform at the same time to give us more control over the server and persistence restoration
- Our server was moved to the new platform
- For some reason our server is crashing and the new platform is not restarting the server like it should, it might be related to 0.60 server side updates
- They are actively working to make it so the server restarts gracefully when it crashes instead of stopping
We can forcefully restart the server, but apparently the techs at our game server provider have more details available to them if we leave the server down so they can look into the cause and resolutions. Fragnet requested that I leave the server down and put in a ticket so they can work on a permanent solution. They usually respond within an hour, and sometimes minutes, of me putting in a support ticket (Vilayer used to be 48 hours).
Hopefully that helps everyone know what is going on, I have been on it as much as I could be while we had out of town visitors staying with us. Feel free to respond to this news article with any updates! Also let me know and I will keep on top of it!
