Server issues lately are getting addressed
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!
Status Report – 02 Aug 2016 | DayZ | Official website

DayZ is a gritty, authentic, open-world survival horror hybrid-MMO game, in which players follow a single goal: to survive in the harsh post-apocalyptic landscape as long as they can.

Map updated for 0.60
The HERO Map has been updated for 0.60.
For now, the only option we have available is the satellite map instead of the topographical map due to my inability to extract the topographical map.
I know the satellite map is a little difficult to see in some areas, it is just a limitation we will have to live with until a topographical map can be extracted. I am able to provide very fine detail with the topographical map.

Mumble Updated, The Wasteland
We have changed how the public is able to interact in our Mumble server.
The old muted jail, “Unregistered”, has been changed to “The Wasteland”. The Wasteland is an unmoderated (except extreme cases) Mumble channel where our server regulars can play and get to know each other. They can also interact with us from time to time if we decide to join The Wasteland.
Non-community members will still be stuck up in The Wasteland and will not be able to join any other Mumble channel. If you are a vetted community member, you may now choose to keep it quiet in The Courtyard or join the chaos of The Wasteland.

DayZ Standalone HEROs – Mute Cowards – YouTube
With the onset of the 0.60 patch, we have increasingly encountered more and more “mute cowards”. They refuse to talk and instead will instantly shoot because they are scared.
Even if you are going to shoot us, at least say “die!” or something. Hell, talk over our corpse if you can’t talk before you kill someone. Stop being cowards! I kind of miss the days when someone would lie to your face or distract you before shooting or scream something nonsensical before wasting you.
