Players start to spawn as Crows!

[Radiix]

Hey i got a major issue since today. After some given time when we have about 40 Players on the server any additional players start spawning as a crow!

 

Because of fear of loosing the characterdata i modified my createvehicle.txt from 1 "Seagull" to 5 "Seagull" !

 

Please help me out guys its really unplayable like that!

 

Here are the latest RPT errors i got (10:28pm)

22:22:09 NetServer::SendMsg: cannot find channel #1481524383, users.card=9
22:22:09 NetServer: users.get failed when sending to 1481524383

It can be a lot of things or one thing causing "birds", the reason why you spawn as a bird is the game can't get your location from the DB, or can't move you into game from debug.

Are you running vanilla DayZ Epoch with no mods?

The only "gamechanging" mods i run are the helilift script and autorefuel.

I got the same issue on my server.... i need to restart to solve that, but it will continue to happening after 30 mins server is running ç_ç

You can do this to clean groups, i've had some success with this when the seagulls are caused by groups

 

create dayz_server/init/cleaner.sqf:

while {true} do {
    {
        if (count units _x==0) then {
            deleteGroup _x;
            //diag_log ("CUSTOM: GROUP CLEANUP");
        };
    } forEach allGroups;
    sleep 180; // run every 3min
}

add this line to the bottom of dayz_server/init/server_functions.sqf:

[] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\init\cleaner.sqf";

Could you just add this to your missions folder? adding the line to your init.sqf?

Does this cleanup dead bodies quickly as well?

 

Trying to avoid that.

No, only group cleanup

There's no rhyme or reason to this occurring. It seems to happen randomly, sometimes with 14 people on, sometimes with 50.
