Hi all,
Sorry it has taken a good amount of time to get the server back up and running.
I ended up having to re-install just about all applications to try and find the root of the problem. In a nutshell, when ithe x64 version was released for servers, I tried to see what kind of performance it would deliver (you know "shinnnnnnnyyyyyy"). I do believe this hosed the game files pretty royally including the files that communicate to the database. I tried several different things to a point where I was just going to wait for the new Exile to come out, re-break several mods, then build a new one from scratch. However, while waiting for some Arma 2 stuff to finish, I decided to dive back in and try a few more things. After about 2-3 hrs, the server is back.
Bad news (or good news depending on who you are talking to), the server is wiped. We were already have several weird things happening that looked close to corruption, so this isnt a horrible thing. I will work with the admins and see what we can deliver for a gamer appreciation type of deal. More details to come....
------------
New Exile is coming... Soon. So heads up. I will not update the server to the new version until I finish and verify all is working.

Happy gaming and again thank you very much for your patience and understanding on real life too!
