When can we start hosting DayZ servers individually?

Recommended Posts

I would like to request that server hosting is opened up a little bit. I do not like using main stream game hosting companies. I am a systems administrator by trade and absolutely HATE over priced shared resources. DayZ is a resource hungry engine and you can get way better performance picking up a dedicated server yourself and hosting your own server.

 

Also, I would like to inquire about a Linux based host option. Linux is better than Windows when it comes to dedicated services, and a DayZ server engine that operates on Linux would be a perfect match.

 

TL;DR I don't like sharing resources, can I have my own Linux based DayZ server option please?

Best guess is sometime in mid to late beta, but that's a personal guess on my part judging from the roadmap.  What they say is it's due to security reasons while they're shoring up the code.

Exactly what BigMike said. If they opened the game up like that right now and gave everyone access to the game files, 90% of players would be on modded private hives with all sorts of Heli's, tanks, planes, etc that modders port over from other Bohemia games not to mention tons of loot everywhere, paid spawn loadouts, admin abuse, etc... 

 

It would NOT be a good scene for a game that is no where near finished.

You have to rent one. You can't do it any other way yet.

Because they aren't putting the server files out.  Any server files you find are not legit.

This Forum section is for Server Admins.

There are no plans to release Server files to the public.
