Title: Epoch Server Back Up
Post by: Sandman on February 15, 2017, 11:07:54 AM
Well folks, after a lot of back and forth with the tech reps and not getting anywhere, I did some deep digging on my own and managed to find a problem in the database where some of the server objects were recording with illegal parameters. The strange and misleading thing is that the objects with the corrupt data were getting accepted and spawned while the ones with the legit data were getting tagged as corrupt and purged from the database. Anyway, I managed to repair the latest version of the database and merged in the missing data so hopefully this fixes the issue and there should be no rollback apparent. Only time will tell if this is a permanent fix, keep your fingers crossed.

Thanks for your patience,

Sand

Nope, it's still 160.202.166.21:2342. It might take Steam a little bit of time to pick it up, but its been on dayz launcher for several hours now.

i know that was a bit of a bummer, but it should be fixed for good now. It seems like our fancy anti-base decay program was not preserving base doors and a few other items as it should and they were being deleted by the server for being too old. I guess that's the price you pay for having a four year plus old database that's never been wiped. I think I have that fixed without any rollback. All should be right where you left it last night.

Roger that Mr. Edgemont! Thank you much! I am almost certain that "Melon Sneakers" is behind these mysterious vehicle transformations, I just can't catch him in the act!! Maybe I will throw whiskey bottles at him until he confesses.....

We're all convinced it was Flashfire. So we can throw whiskey bottles at him.

Well Flash, you know I'm a DayZ profiler and I am sensing a pattern. When you are not guilty, you take credit (taadaa!) But when you are guilty, you blame Lenny. I think the whiskey bottle flogging is ON!!! See you soon
