mgftw.com DayZ server (50 slots Amsterdam)

Oh man! Now I'm going to need ArmA II: CO. I just emptied my wallet at AX.

 

For what? For DayZ, all you need is Arma II and Arma II ArrowHead.

 

yeah, that makes Arma 2 : combined operations....Luke you iz newb )

 

Nice, I should have my mic working then (I only need to restart ).
Shame it's always dark in the evening on local servers though, just when I like to play :/

 

problems will be fixed today, so server will be online tonight.

if we see that the server runs fine with 50 players, we might pump it up to 75 players

 

Hi!
Can you write the full host name or ip , i search in multiplayer with filter "mgftw" but nothing show up. its so many servers.
I got game four days ago,lost one day just for install dayz addons <=noob.Played just some hours.
It would be first person player or third person view to?

 

Server's pretty good!! was playing there tonight with kringles

 

The game is both 1st person and 3rd person (tactical view). Hit Enter (numpad) to switch between 1st & 3rd person. You can vault over fences by using the default 'V' key. (There is no jumping in this game).

For those that get the red X for having the wrong version you will need the beta patch version 94364
ftp://downloads.bistudio.com/arma2.com/update/beta/ARMA2_OA_Build_94364.zip

Is it possible to update this thread when the server is updated to a new beta patch? I saw there is already a new beta patch available. (beta patch 94444)
Beta patches can be seen here http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php/

 

I played Arma 2 in 2009, and i remember it ran kinda sluggish because it wasn't optimized for all
graphic cards, this may have improved with later patches but i dropped the game after a while.

I wonder how this arma pack and mod performs, especially for ati cards nowadays.

btw is this server steam only?

 

Unfortunately the server is too far away from me and I get kicked for high ping (359ms)

Is it possible to allow kick on 400ms, or am I just shit out of luck?

Burial_Ground, I was playing it non-steam but I made a shortcut within Steam so I can still use the Steam overlay.

 

It's not the best optimised game (by a long way) but it's better than it was. The DayZ mod on the other hand can kill your FPS, which is something that is being worked on apparently.

 

ping limit was set to 350 default. i think 500 ms is way to high. will only cause more lagg

 

Server updated to beta patch 94444 ftp://downloads.bistudio.com/arma2.com/update/beta/ARMA2_OA_Build_94444.zip

I wouldn't want to burden anyone with bad ping, unfortunately I sit on that threshold of 350ms. If more people join with higher ping, you can reset it back to your max ping setting to make it better for you all. From what I saw, the server is going to be hugely popular, with 60/60 players already being easily achieved.

I tried to load in this morning, but the server was congested and it hit max players the second time I tried. I did manage to get to a final loading screen after character creation on the first try, but it wouldn't put me in the actual game. I checked the ping of other players and the next highest to me was 178ms. Everyone else was well below 80-100ms out of the 58 players online at the time I joined, I don't think lag will be an issue.

Normally a red chain (desync) is from when people are joining the server and should go away quickly.

 

Just joined the server, ran for about 5 seconds in-game and it kicked me for high ping (359ms).
