Or I could just keep him banned then we never have to worry about it! (Ps. It's worked well so far)

Jesus Christ man.

Just gonna put it out there that I didn't say "get fucked" in his ban appeal. I said "All I have to say is wow." Due to how blatant he was cranking it, and expected to not get banned lmfao. Get fucked.

Taken the time to parse through all the chat logs and link names/client ID's along with some other data and can confirm that the person you messaged was NOT a staff member. Regardless of this, due to you trying to threaten us, we have kindly removed all of your access from everything related to the server, though you probably wont see this...

We've tried a bunch of possible methods for downloading missions and "other" traffic, however ALL of that traffic is handled in-engine and doesn't allow for external processes to offload. Its all encrypted through specific methods they use, and we would never be able to grab it unless we were to break Bohemia TOS by reverse engineering the engine, which we aren't about to do.

You can believe that server performance is my fault from nearly 3 years of bullshit that I put up with here. Up to you.

Arma is hard limited by its own engine in terms of downloading mission files with hard-coded bandwidth. We CAN offload mission file downloads to dropbox or something similar IF they selectively download it. If they dont choose to go out of their way, it uses the default. I've tried upping the server bandwidth, that just causes lag on a day to day basis. I tried lowering the server bandwidth, the issue with downloading missions gets worse. As of now, as far as I can tell we have the best that I am able to configure. In the end, I'm at a loss as to what the fuck is actually going on because arma be fuckin' arma.

If you'd like to assist us in reducing server latency please follow the instructions to download the mission file HERE.

The Chinese already have it, so the Russians probably couldn't do much worse

Tfw we log who's in the area when a vehicle blows up...

Network lag is one of the hardest things to debug for, especially when its only present with a significant amount of people with all kinds of variables. We have been working towards alleviating the issues from the small things we can find that may be causing issues for the past 6+ months, but it does take time and clearly hasn't been perfect. From the testing and debugging procedures that we have gone through, to the actual DDoSing and hackers, we seem to have come to a conclusion on what the issues could be and will be working towards trying to fix the inherent issue. This is NOT an issue with our provider, as we have done extensive testing on the box and its network, and a "better" server host does not exist for what our server currently requires. In the end, if you think we could have solved the issues with a little bit of money or a small amount of work, it would have been done AGES ago.

A lot of performance increases have been happening lately, including @ codeYeTi taking literal hundreds of hours to completely rework and create a series of plugins that are the core of the server ONLY for performance. There are still a few issues obviously, but it's quite hard to debug when it only happens at 135+ players, the recent DDoSing, server crashes, and a current crash exploit in the engine that bohemia has been trying fix. If there were a button that said "fix it", believe me that would have been pushed ages ago. The lag is known, the issues we have are apparent, and the dev's ARE actively trying to alleviate them. I know I spent a few hundreds of hours looking into it, combing through every piece of code I could find, which led me to a few small things, but clearly not enough.

The toxicity is 100% just as bad as ever though!

Given the holiday increase in server population and hosting issues, we will temporarily open server 2 between 6pm to midnight (eastern time) for the next few days. On days when conquest is scheduled, the server will be open after conquest finishes (typically between 8pm to 9pm eastern time). We expect that server population will decline moving out of the holidays, and we will return to a single server when appropriate. Items in houses can be transferred to server 1 using the "house transfer" button. Items not transferred by the time we return to one server can be compensated to a server 1 house via a compensation request.

Definitely still the toxic waste pit that you're used to. Though we have cool new things, so that's always nice

Huh.....

Not entirely sure about the armed vehicle pull prices, but the smoke change is fairly nice. And you're saying we don't ban people for cheating? That's interesting, considering I alone have 20+ cheater bans in the past 2 weeks. Other than me, there have been quite a few other scripting bans that have been handed out by various staff members. People help out where they are able, but they're obviously not going to be able to catch everyone.

The reason it does this is due to you probably scrolling over side chat when you try to go to direct. This will automatically force it to default to group to prevent people from exploiting and yelling in side chat.

Would be possible. Quite a few unused chat channels that could be abused

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
