So I've gone through the motions of setting up a server based on what I read here and on the github page and from the last time I tried this ~3 years ago (and had much more success back then!). Right now, whenever I try to connect, I get into the lobby, can receive the mission, but then nothing happens.
Steps I've taken:
As far as I can see, my server runs and I can join it. Like I stated above, I see the lobby after typing the server password, I can click into the server, and it starts receiving the mission. Once that happens, I get to the "DAYZ" loading screen and the progress bar freezes about 75% of the way in. The database contains NO data for player data or player login.
The server console(s) only ever show this:
21:31:23 Dedicated host created.
21:31:25 BattlEye Server: Initialized (v1.207)
21:31:25 Host identity created.
21:31:25 Game Port: 2302, Steam Query Port: 2303
21:33:23 Matthew uses modified data file
21:33:23 BattlEye Server: Player #0 Matthew (192.168.1.2:2304) connected
21:33:23 Player Matthew connecting.
21:33:23 Mission DayZMod read from directory.
21:33:24 BattlEye Server: Player #0 Matthew - GUID: XXXXX (unverified)
21:33:25 Player Matthew connected (id=XXXXX).
21:33:25 BattlEye Server: Verified GUID (XXXXX) of player #0 Matthew
21:33:25 BattlEye Server: Player #0 Matthew - Legacy GUID: XXXXXX
21:33:30 Roles assigned.
21:33:30 Reading mission ...
21:33:48 Mission read.
21:33:49 Game started.
Nothing else ever happens, and my game client just sits there. What might I have done wrong???
Steps I've taken:
- I tried to install ARMA 2 and ARMA2 OA from SteamCMD, but one of the app id's didn't work? I own both the games so I installed them and copied them from my steam client install.
- Copied ARMA 2 OA, then the AddOns folder of ARMA 2.
- This was from a thread I read. Should I copy ARMA 2 then over-copy ARMA 2 OA?
- Copied the DayZ mod folder from Steam. Updated the steam_app.txt file to match the Steam DayZ app id. Prior to this, I was getting "Session lost."
- Installed MySQL server, set up the user and the database, verified functionality, etc.
- Set up the server.cfg and hiveext.ini files with the appropriate values.
