    I have an event server. These are my specs

    soft  - Intel win 10                                                                             - You dont need win server unless you are running multiple VM

    CPU - i7 8086K  min 4GHz max (single core) 5GHz                   - DayZ is a single core game, So you need a CPU with a fast CPU speed. It may be win 11 with its Perforemance CPu & economy CPU

                                                                                                                   with tasks scheduling to specific CPUs, will improve this. I dont have a win 11.

    RAM - 16 GB DDR4 3200MHz                                                        - fasterlower latency ram is better

    storage - M2 970 pro                                                                      - faster is better

    Intel Gigabit ethernet

    1.  Wildly fluctuating tick rate on the server. At idle, with zero players, the server will sit at 4500 FPS but tank regularly to below 2000. I've seen people showing logs of tick rates well into 10K+. 
    2. Server tick rate dramatically lowers once everyone is online and playing. I'll see below 2K and it will routinely tank even further when people's clients crash.
    3.  Players in game will desync when someone loads into the server or when someone's client crashes. This results in vehicles rubber-banding and flipping out all over the place.
    4.  Players get kicked with some nonsense about an "unstable" connection but I have fiber internet at 1000Mbps synchronous (meaning both upload and download are the same speed). I've even been kicked with this message and I'm on the same gigabit hardwired LAN as the server. I've somewhat eliminated this by setting "maxPing" to some obscenely high setting and setting the "speedhackDetection" to 10.
    5. Among my startup options, I'm setting "cpuCount" to 20 but it doesn't have any effect on how much CPU resources DayZ will take. Nor does any of the changes I make in "dayzsettings.xml" seem to have any effect. The DayZ server application still uses just one core, which I'm more attributing to lazy development choices and bad application design

     

    1 - happens, see attached performance curves. more mods/events makes it worse

    2 - see curve

    3 - more dependent on peoples ping (in my opinion)

    4 - Happens, even for me, & the server is sitting in front of me

    5 - DayZ is a single core game

    Getting information of what specs are needed to run a DayZ server seems to be a classified subject.

    maybe just a bit arcane

     

    This is my 8086 server performance. (lightly modded)

    unknown.png?width=743&height=492

    Orange line is average of my i7 6700k. Over 30 players was getting problematic. More mods got problematic

    Grey line is an extrapolated expectation of the performance uplift for when I moved to the i7 8086

    Blue line is actual performance. Note the framerate fluctuation. Interestingly, my prediction didnt quite fit.

    The framerate dropping to zero is only during server start up. Once up & running, it is up around 10K - 12K

    But I had no issues with this & no issues were highlighted to me or seen. A large number of streamers were also streaming, so I could see the "playability".

    Moving up to an 19 12900K would improve this further

    zZcoxLt.png

    This is my i7 6700k. Note the frame rates approaching 0 as the players increased. This was causing problems. Observed through streamers outputs

    l8kZtIX.png

    As long as the framerate doesnt go below 100fps on the server, things generally seemed ok ..  . but more mods & cars, doesnt help

    Have you added multithreadedReplication = 1; to your serverDZ.cfg?

     

    never saw any benefit from this

    Hope this helps

    , would you be kind enough to explain to me how you run that "scheduler.xml" file on your server to do the cyclic reboot

    the "scheduler file" is run inside the BEC program available at this link

    https://github.com/TheGamingChief/BattlEye-Extended-Controls

    the scheduler shuts dayz down, then you have a .bat file running that restarts DayZ, an example is in the link below

    These are pretty simple versions, there are other more complex versions available, if you search for them

    Hi
    Can anyone help me solve this issue I'm having on my Server.
    Battle eye disconnects all players at once. it used to happen every now and then, But now its happening more frequently, sometimes 5 times within an hour.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction in solving this as its becoming very frustrating for players as well as Server owners.
    There is no drop in connection so that's not the cause.
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Thank you
    Rox

    "Server owners are receiving additional tools to manage their servers without the need for directly modifying game files through the addition of server-side gameplay settings." OK so how do we access this on PC?

    Through your server.cfg & other files

    Try the following . . . . but note that this will only stop your server, you will need to restart the server through another program . . .your batch file for example . ..

     Important information for players on my, Derleths, Tarkules & other servers

     Tarkules has raised this as a ticket to Bohemia T159840


      Players

      As of the 1.13 update, it is now possible for Battlemetrics &
      Gametracker to see your player names, joining & leaving times - time durations.
      So anyone can see when you are online on any specific server
     
      This information used to be only available to server owners but now
      this information is available to anybody watching.
      This has an impact on player privacy, but it is also enabling a new form of stream sniping.

      I would recommend that you no longer use a name on DayZ servers,
      to be anonymous leave the name field blank
     
      This will be pain for server owners, but as its a major privacy issue,
      I cannot see another option

      Unfortunately I do not think this will allow you to stay anonymous for long,
      as it will be possible to code for your steam id.
     
      For players in my events, this should not be an issue as the events are all password access only
      so please continue using names - in the events
     
      Thanks

    BEC is not able to connect to the battleye service from DayZ though it is running on the same machine (127.0.0.1) since update 1.13

    Before 1.13 i used port 2302 (or 2702 for 2nd server) for DayZ Server AND battleye.

    Now i tried switching battleye to 2305 (2705) but BEC can not connect even with firewall off.

    Are those ports open?

    You should never switch off your firewall

     

    Mine (two server instances on the same pc) are running fine

    (i use port 2702 for the DAyZ Server so port 2705 for BE) 

    is port 2705 open?

    Until 1.13 update it worked fine. Used Dart Tool to connect to Server.

    I have no idea with the Dart tool

    Since the 1.13 update, can no longer connect to the rcon port. Have created a RConPort entry in BEServer.cfg, its starting on that port from the server console, bec can no longer connect as well as battle rcon.

    I can’t get on too. It’s keeps saying unable to get servers 

    you need to edit the port to server port +3

    so if your server port is 2302, set bec & bercon to 2305 in their respective configs and start up bats

    Nitrado is $20 a month 😞

    you would probably pay that in electric bills to run the server 24/7

    also the room where I have my server is around 28 - 29 degrees C

    If you really want to run a server and not use a provider, why dont you just get a pc license and keep running a pc server?

    Can I host a server for X Box clients from my PC?

    no

    1 hour ago, hazey_b said:

    I have downloaded the Day Z server through Steam and I believe it is configured correctly (have forwarded ports 2302/27016 in router and sever is visible in Battlemetrics)

    However I cant see my server in the Community server list on my xbox

    I noticed a slight version mismatch between pc server (1.12.153904) and my x box (1.12.153902) but have updated server config to support this

    i have also read that cross platform is not supported but not sure if that means i just have to configure server to support x box only or that server is for pc clients only.

    you have set up a Dayz pc server. Only PC servers are available

     

    You have to go through Nitrado or some other xbox provider to set up a server for xbox
