Stuck on authentication then black screen(Re-open?)

[lightstylez]

"Waiting for server to start authentication" and then just black screen. If i press ESC i can only walk around the debug plains with no gear and player is invisible in 3rd person. also no entries appear in the database when connecting/connected.

I followed the advice - thevisad commented 20 hours ago Anti hacks are known to cause an issue, without anti hacks or REsec (in the init.sqf of the mission file) everything works perfectly fine. Those having this issue need to remove one or the other, or both.

I have deleting the Resec and antihack lines in init.sqf - i still get the same problem. I did a clean install of windows a few days ago and installed everything fresh from github earlier today, so there should be no problems apart from in the package itself. Built with Buildings, Carepkgs,Invcust, Killmsgs, wrecks & ssZeds Messaging. I was running on 1.7.7 with dayz10k's github just fine - now with 1.7.7.1 and 2 more reality schema updates and it has stopped working.

If any more information is needed i will try my best to help.

Try without buildings and see if this resolves the issue. Also, open your missionfile that it builds and manually verify that it did not add the REsec line.

[lightstylez]

Thanks for the very quick reply, works fine now without buildings and antihack/resec enabled. Although i hope you can resolve the problems with buildings, it is very useful to have.

[thevisad]

Ok, yeah I think we have narrowed down that the buildings package is creating the issue. I have not been able to identify the problem with it and its on my plate to finish diagnosing.

I have experienced the same issue with Wrecks, Care Packages and Custom Inventory. W + CP works. CI + W works. CI + CP works. All three get stuck at "waiting for server to start authentication" and eventually I get kicked back to the lobby or into debug world.

EDIT: I have just tried this again all by hand in command prompt instead of the builder app and it's working now.

I had exactly the same problem and it helped when I tried to build without ssZeds feature. now my server is running with 1.7.7.1 and seems that everything works, but I still haven't checked buildings.

that what I used:

perl build.pl --world chernarus --serverversion 1771 --with-wrecks --with-carepkgs --with-messaging --with-buildings --instance 1

and it helped, no more stuck in authentication screen. If I use ssZeds feature, no matter or just ssZeds or ssZedsMessaging - I get stuck again.

I found the solution to be running everything from the command prompt and the files being located in a directory path without spaces.

'C:\DayzSetup\' rather than 'C:\Dayz Setup\' .

Guys, I just tested with server files that had 3038 buildings and was able to log in without an issue. One of the things I would recommend is to turn REsec off, as that seems to be causing a lot of issues.

And I recommend to use stable Beta patch 103718 and delete @dayz and download again

Hi, same issue suck loading, blackscreen My RPT shows this errors:

arma2oaserver.RPT:2013/07/03, 17:29:18 Server error: Player without identity Psycho (id 180xxxxxxx) arma2oaserver.RPT:2013/07/03, 17:29:18 Server error: Player without identity Psycho (id 180xxxxxxx) arma2oaserver.RPT:2013/07/03, 17:29:18 Server error: Player without identity Psycho (id 180xxxxxxx) arma2oaserver.RPT:2013/07/03, 17:31:50 "ERROR: Cannot Sync Character Psycho as no characterID" arma2oaserver.RPT:2013/07/03, 17:31:51 "DISCONNECT: Psycho (31xxxxx) Object: B 1-1-A:1 (Psycho) REMOTE, _characterID: 0" arma2oaserver.RPT:2013/07/03, 17:31:51 "ERROR: Cannot Sync Character Psycho as no characterID"

start with a fresh install of nothing but the base reality and see if it works, do not mod it with any additional items

[psycho-dad]

getting latest git-master and run:

perl build.pl --world chernarus --serverversion 1771 --instance 1

see: http://pastebin.com/3FTV8ge3

using latest build files from "deploy", same issue, THX

i have the same problem... after restart my server takes up to 10 min to be ready under heavy load (60 players). players are connecting without identity and are stuck in debug (blackscreen) and getting kicked after some seconds.. suddenly the blackscreen disappears and all can connect properly...

[thevisad]

If you are having this issue with base IE perl build.pl --world chernarus --serverversion 1771 --instance 1 this line, then there is something wrong with your installation, not Reality. Check your install via steam, stop adding additional things to the build after install, reinstall dayz and reinstall the beta patch.

I have done all of those things, and while I can now choose spawn location again, the dreaded getting stuck at "You Have Died" screen is back.

[thevisad]

I have updated the Hive, it was determined that there was an issue with the Hive not creating a character properly. This may have contributed to the players getting stuck in this loop. Please update to the latest version of the hive/schema/code.

Open a new issue and quit hijacking this one.
