Why is the server locked after 1am restart? 16/1, can´t join

Now it´s unlocked again? whats going on`?

It is a good question though.

I assume that they are controlling the amount of people logging in at a time. If 120 people suddenly join at once it will cause the server to work too hard creating lots of lag, or even a crash.

A patch was released so to stagger people joining and downloading we locked the server.

Arma3server.exe was not built for 120 people connecting at once and downloading a 20mb file, It just crashes the application and kicks everyone off.

Why not go back to 100 slot severs?
