I still haven't found a way to see if mods are loading through some kind of log files. However, I loaded up @CF and another mod. When I tried to join my server I was kicked due to not having @CF installed. So not the easiest way to figure it out. But at least I know the server loaded the mod in question. If anyone knows a good way to verify that mods loaded on a server. I'm all ears!

OK. It is connecting now. It looks like the below parameter fixed it: Adding the following to my launch parameters: "-BEpath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DayZServer\battleye"

Thanks! Looks like dayzsa launcher is a third party thing? I was trying to just use it "native", but since I have to run this on Windoze anyway, I guess I can leave my usual Linux masochism behind. Previously, I installed Dayz server on this machine with a 2nd steam account I created back in the day for running servers. I couldn't seem to get it to actually download the workshop content I subscribed to with it. So I logged in with my regular steam account then installed DayZ, then the workshop items downloaded (to the numbered folders I mentioned in the OP). So if I don't want to use the launcher, I would set it up by copying the steam workshop downloads to the DayZ server "root" and reference by number? Would I need to mess with bikeys if I use the "manual" method? It's been years since I setup a Linux ARMA 3 server, and I do recall having to simlink files here and there including key files to get it all working. Same story here? Or is dumping the entire steam workshop download number folder into the root sufficient? I'm running on a Windows Server 2019. This is not my gaming client machine (it is actually running in a vm on ESXi on my server). I'm currently running with ports 2302-2306, and 27016 (UDP) open, the server is listed in the server browser community tab, and friends can join it. What are the other ports for? Specifically the TCP ports please? This is actually the first reference to them I've come across. Of course, the documentation is pretty non-existent and seems to be tribal knowledge scattered about the WWW. 🙂 I opened up 27016 to get the server browser to list the server. (Which works). Funny thing is you don't have that port in your notes and presumably your server is listed fine. 🙂 2302 is my game (base) port. Various ARMA 3 references state the base port, +1, +2, +3, +4 need to also be open to UDP. Just curious if anyone has a link to Bohemia Interactive documentation of what all is actually needed (ports) with 1.05 for a private server?

I have a DayZ server up. I can connect to and join it. I subscribed to several mods that I'd like to possibly run on my server. I see they downloaded to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\221100 There are a bunch of sub directories there now: (example 1559129763) How do I actually load that mod into the server? The few examples I find on the interwebs refer to a syntax like -mod=@Community-Framework added to the startup script. I'm missing the connection. I subscribed to the Community Frameworks Mod, and it appears to have downloaded to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\221100\1559212036 folder. Now what do I do to load it? I'm Missing something essential clearly. 🙂

What port needs to be opened for BERCon? The game is running on 2302. I am able to browse it in the server browser, and join the server from a client. Doesn't RCON use the same port as the game itself? (2302)

If the game is running on port 2302, then when I attempt to connect with BERCon I should be supplying that port (2302) when it asks "Enter the game server's port:" Yes?

I added that parameter. #shutdown still has no effect. I also still can't get connected with DaRT or BERCon. So maybe there is some other problem?

So, no way to do it through the Admin "console"?

I'm having trouble getting BERCon working. So in the meantime on my freshly setup DayZ server, I was attempting to gracefully shutdown the server. From my DayZ client machine. I joined the server. I typed the below, and I see admin logged in #login thepassword However #shutdown Has no effect? How do I gracefully shut down the server?

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. But I'm not able to connect with RCon. I always get "Could not connect to server". I'm running the command locally on the server running DayZ Server. start.bat @echo off :start ::Server name set serverName=Mettiland ::Server files location set serverLocation="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DayZServer" ::Server Port set serverPort=2302 ::Server config set serverConfig=serverDZ.cfg ::Logical CPU cores to use (Equal or less than available) set serverCPU=2 ::BEPath set battlePath="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DayZServer\battleye" ::Sets title for terminal (DONT edit) title %serverName% batch ::DayZServer location (DONT edit) cd "%serverLocation%" echo (%time%) %serverName% started. ::Launch parameters (edit end: -config=|-port=|-profiles=|-doLogs|-adminLog|-netLog|-freezeCheck|-filePatching|-BEpath=|-cpuCount=) start "DayZ Server" /min "DayZServer_x64.exe" -config=%serverConfig% -port=%serverPort% -cpuCount=%serverCPU% -dologs -adminlog -netlog "-bepath=%battlePath%" -freezecheck - ::Time in seconds before kill server process (14400 = 4 hours) timeout 14390 taskkill /im DayZServer_x64.exe /F ::Time in seconds to wait before.. timeout 10 ::Go back to the top and repeat the whole cycle again goto start serverDZ.cfg hostname = "Mettiland"; // Server name password = "blah"; // Password to connect to the server passwordAdmin = "blalblah"; // Password to become a server admin maxPlayers = 60; // Maximum amount of players verifySignatures = 2; // Verifies .pbos against .bisign files.

Any word on the release of a DayZ Linux server?

If -cpuCount= parameter isn't specified, what is the default?

I'd like to see an update on Linux server status also.

I was perfectly happy with the ARMA controls... wonder why they "fixed" what wasn't broken?

Yes, I like RP. One thing I've always hated about FPS games is the run-run-run-jump-jump-jump. Dayz has fatigue and that is awesome. Also it seems like I loose less hydration if I just walk long distances vs. jogging. And it just feels right to walk around.
