No challenge value was received from the master server.

Post by Fusion3Gz »

Hey guys, I had recently puchased a dedicated box from NFO so that way I could host a dayz overpoch server. I had created a small locally hosted one off of my computer the other night and have it working fine including infistar added however; when I finished installing Epoch ONLY and nothing else when I started the server I was getting this error in my RPT:

No challenge value was received from the master server.
GameSpy QR2 error: 5, No challenge value was received from the master server.

I then went back to my locally hosted version and ran that and then received the same issue. I'm not sure if anything had changed within the past 24 hours but here is my full RPT and Cfg.

Any help is appreciated.

Are you using the correct the version of Arma 2 OA? The beta branch is not active anymore/compatible. Try to install the game with the SteamCMD tool.

Did you setup a database server correctly and is it working for/with the client that you set up withing DayZ Epoch (allowing connections, user correct, password correct)?

I am almost sure I am using the correct version of arma 2 oa. (I followed these steps to make sure I was (I went to -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead -> then deleted ArmA 2 OA.exe/ArmA2OA_BE.exe and Arma2oaserver.exe -> Then went back to steam and verified the integrity of my game -> then moved all the files back over FROM the steam directory TO my server folder.

As for setting up the database in the highly detailed 70 step tutorial the database it has you create is through xampp. If there is another way to set it up could you possibly send me a link?

I figured out what the issue was, MYSQL was not installed for some reason when I installed Xammp. Whith me fixing that the issue is now fixed.

Glad that it is working now.

I would recommend to remove XAMPP though. It is highly insecure and not meant to be used in a public, productive enviroment. Even in the hardened setting, it uses modules that are usually older compiled from source version, which don't have security issues fixed.

You can use the combination MySQL and MySQL Workbench directly to manage your database server.
