If you have Custom map select you have to change password, hostname etc in the Custom Launch Parameters textarea as well.

Would be nice to have an export/import .txt with the PGARK seed and settings
with a forum to show pictures of what it generated so we can exchange PG Arks configurations...

This is currently being worked on and coming soon @badgirl

The $0.48 / slot is for our 100 slot option which is labeled on that CompareGameHosting page.
 
We don't have the cheapest low slot prices but we have the most advanced control panel so you are getting what you pay for.

Excellent, thanks for this. It has helped a lot.

Nevermind. I removed BaseJumping that comes with the server,
For whatever reason, I was able to login in under any Gender.

Please create a support ticket and we'll check that out

Thanks for the update anyways. I just wish the Wildcard Studio communicated the way you do regarding design/programming issues. Not being in the dark is alleviating if nothing else.

Unfortunately it's not an easily overhaul but progress is there. Prior to getting the clustered option for custom launch params / customized config, we need to finish our Modify Server Config tool to get updated with all of the latest patches (still a few patches outdated) which is the biggest amount of work prior to getting that done. I'd rather do it right and not rushed than rush out a buggy, unorganized feature that leads to more issues. We have a relatively stable backend right now (with lots of complex code getting everything situated perfectly) and adding new features has to be done very carefully.

Post is a little old, but to all the new comers here is my take on Survival Servers, completely unbiased! Thats how I am
 
PRICE:First off, NO absolutely not! Survival Servers is actually "one" of the few out there, very few, who have the best prices for their services. Also, BLUEFANG charges $10 for better support lol. Their website is crap. When you add features it keeps doubling itself even when you decide to "uncheck" a feature before purchase. What a crummy comparison bro. SETUP: Survival Servers has probably the BEST control panel, functionality and ease of use product I have ever seen.Their folder compilations for all their games are so easy to use and find things when you need it. Everything is compiled perfectly. PREMIUM SERVERS:The servers have been upgraded since they started, i remember those horrible days years ago. They are TOP NOTCH NOW. WHY BUY SS?: For the price and some really awesome respectful workers made me ditch Vilayer ($60/m) GTX($45/m) GamingDeluxe($35/m). GTX and Vilayer are great in taking your money, they have 24/7 support that really helps with nothing. I had them. each time i had issue they would point me to the forum. Unless it was something of the sort when server crashed or game stopped working. Quality?Shop Local: I look at it this way. Survival Servers is a local bar or store., everyone knows your name, they help you out when they can get to you, but first they help those before you walked in, they are overworked and underappreciated, the money coming in is not the best, but they love their jobs and love helping people. GTX and all the others are like Walmart. They send you to crappy ideas and lines because they know they sold you a piece of crap you can't figure out how to fix or operate. The response times are not the best, i agree, and this is a crucial part of any server management company. However, these forums are filled I mean FILLED! with REPEATING ISSUES people face, and get solved. Just a little bit of effort on your part and you can find everything you are looking for.
This does two things: It gives support time to get to everyone and it gives you a chance to build your knowledge base.
 
Personally, for the money, the respect and (pardon my language) crap they put up with (and mine in the past), I would choose Survival Servers every time.  
I have a list below of Server Comparisons, some are older, but still valid. I will leave everyone coming here with this same question. Let me ask you
 
::When someone is working day and night to solve issues for the least amount of pay, and his/her only thing is to make sure you are saving money
and are satisfied with your choices....who could withstand such hell and keep going?::It takes discipline, time and overall integrity.
 

That's my take on it Survival Servers has been consistent with their prices and they are by far the best out there. I have given these guys crap in the past, lol, which i regret. They are definitely  worth getting. Be Patient, not everyone has 100 people 24hrs attending to your every need and issue.
from my experience majority issues are at the users operation.
 
ARK
ARMA3
UNTURNED
RUST

Bluefang uses a control panel that is basically a glorified Wordpress plugin.
 
We built our control panel in-house and spent thousands of hours making it awesome. The difference is substantial.
 
There's no setup fee, it's a debranding fee and it's $5.00 and it's optional. Upgrading you just pay the difference in cost, there's no setup/upgrade fee whatsoever.
 
Check out our order form to see our real prices, not sure where you are seeing these prices but they are incorrect.

We'll definitely be adding games as they come out (new games)
Minecraft and CS:GO are confirmed though, just don't have an ETA (hopefully before Christmas)

Otherwise, this is the thread you can post in and we'll check on that issue. It is one of our exceptions to our forum rules.
Ticket # (if applicable) Game Server ID We'll check on it routinely throughout the day. Thank you and apologies for any inconvenience

All should be fixed soon, one more server that has a hardware failure needs new RAM which we are waiting for.

My Infistar/Admin does not work
________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
First off and foremost, if you did not purchase Infistar I would recommend doing that first.
 
STOP YOUR SERVER WHEN MODIFYING
 
I remember when i first started with survival servers about 3 years ago, for the life of me i couldnt understand why it did not work when i bought it and did not mess with files yet. I would go into the game and my F2 would not do anything.
 
Besides needing the obvious tools you will need:
Steam ID (SKIP IF YOU KNOW IT) Purchased Infistar Antihack w/SurvivalServers Knowledge of your control panel First Let's Find your Steam ID for Arma (UID)
Start your Arma Operations Arrowhead through Steam (just let it go to the main menu) Click on "Player Profile" find your name and click "Edit". The number you see pop up, that is your ID. Write it down and look at least 3 times to make sure you have it right. Second Let's go to your Control Panel
On the right side you will see "Antihack", check that box and make sure the field boxes appear under. The very first Box is where your Steam/UID goes (NEXT TO SUPERUID) Make sure there are no spaces before or after your numbers, no quotations. Just the numbers (check 3x) Third Let's Download your Server PBO
Before you hit update and restart button, we need to verify you have the antihack command. Download your server pbo by clicking on the "Download". After you unzip your folder, and extract the pbo go into the server folder and into init folder, there you will see a file called "server_functions.sqf". Open the file with Notepad++  and scroll to the very bottom of the page. If you don't see: #include "\Antihack\SurvivalAntihack.sqf" Then make sure you copy and paste that line into the bottom end.
 
       5. Save. Compile your pbo
       6. On your control panel go to the server pbo section and click on the BROWSE tab, find your server.pbo not server folder, click ok. Then update and restart with the bottom button.
 
Go back and Check everything again by re-downloading the server pbo and checking to see if the server_functions file has that line of code at the bottom.
 
________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
METHOD 2
________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
Get your SteamID by following above instructions in the first section and add it to the Antihack field in your control panel  
If your antihack is unchecked, check the box, add your steam ID and restart the server using the Bottom Update and Restart bar. Wait for the server panel to finish loading. (give it two minutes after you can access your panel again) Uncheck the antihack and update and restart (with bottom button) once more. (allow it time to come up) Once it comes back, recheck the box again make sure your ID is there in the field, and restart the server one last time (go into the game and test it)  
If your antihack is already checked, uncheck it and restart the server. (give it a good 2mins after it restarts before proceeding) After it restarts, check the box and make sure your steam ID is in the first field. If not, please add it. Restart again. Once your server comes up, go into the server and test to see if it works. Hit "ESC" and make sure the red Text of Infistar is in the Esc Menu. If it is not, go through the steps in the first method posted.  

We're looking at adding 1.8.8 now.

We're pleased to announce that we will be hosting Conan Exile private servers.

The release date has been updated in the main post to January 2017 per new information.

Awesome! Here is some stuff from the discord:
 
to prevent inventory loss,
UPDATE character_data SET Backpack = REPLACE(Backpack, '"equip_woodensplint"', '"ItemMorphine"') WHERE INSTR(Backpack, '"equip_woodensplint"') > 0; UPDATE character_data SET Inventory = REPLACE(Inventory, '"equip_woodensplint"', '"ItemMorphine"') WHERE INSTR(Inventory, '"equip_woodensplint"') > 0; version error,
Anyone who has this error needs to update their client and server A2OA to current stable branch on steam: Error in expression <; _recompile = (count _this) > 0; if (BIS_fnc_init && !_recompile) exitwith {t> 20:48:09 Error position: <BIS_fnc_init && !_recompile) exitwith {t> 20:48:09 Error Undefined variable in expression: bis_fnc_init 20:48:09 File ca\Modules\Functions\init.sqf, line 28(edited) You can see what version you are running at the top of your RPT file.

It fixed that error and many other issues: https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/186695-a2a2oa-patch-18122015/ Thanks guys!

We're looking at adding 1.8.8 now.

Please create a support ticket so we can check.
 
In the ticket please include the exact file path in the REMOTE directory you are trying to access (the directory on our server)

We don't add small and/or unstable mods. Only major, popular mods that are very stable.
 
There are simply too many already. Keeping them updated is also a tremendous amount of man hours.
