Hi, my DayZ-Server is running on Linux Debian Squeeze via VirtualBox (Win2003). Hardware: Intel i7 2600, 32gb RAM, ... 1. I used "gnome" as desktop-environment and "vnc4server" with "VNC-Viewer" for virtualbox: ~ # apt-get install gnome vnc4server Downloadlink for the latest VNC-Viewer --> RealVNC 2. Create a user for virtualbox + pwd ~ # useradd -m username ~ # passwd username 3. Login with the new user and start vnc4server (choose a suitable resolution, in my case 1440x900) ~ # vnc4server -geometry 1440x900 4. Login via VNC-Viewer 5. Download and install virtualbox 6. Create a virtualmachine, in my case for win2003, 4gb ram, network host-only, 8x cpu, vt-x on 7. iptables-nat, port forwarding via root ~ # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ~ # iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE ~ # iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp --dport 2302 -j DNAT --to 192.168.56.101:2302 ~ # iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp --dport 2305 -j DNAT --to 192.168.56.101:2303 ~ # iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp --dport 2305 -j DNAT --to 192.168.56.101:2305 8. Reconfigure your network on your virtualmachine: Click Start, Control Panel, Network Connections. Right click on the connection, properties. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click properties. Select use the following IP address and enter IP address: 192.168.56.101 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Default gateway: 192.168.56.1 Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server: the addresses of the DNS of your provider. ~ # nano /etc/resolv.conf nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx nameserver yy.yy.yy.yy nameserver zz.zz.zz.zz Click OK and again OK. 9. Install and start you DayZ-Server =) 9.1 Remove the "-ip xx.xx.xx.xx" parameter to start the server correctly or set the local IP, "-ip 192.168.56.101" 10. recommendable: - disable root-login - reject all not needed incoming packets (to disable vnc login..) This is my way to provide an epic and fast DayZ-Server :D kraZey

It is nice as well =) I am running three dayz server without issues and lags, as long as the hive is not laggy ;D My private hive namalsk server is running 24/7 without lags =)

I added some things: HowTo: DayZ-Server via Windows VM (on Linux Debian) HowTo: Starting WindowsVM via putty + using Windows-Remotedesktop instead of VNC HowTo: Auto-Retart script + BEC + Scheduler for Auto-Restart Hafe fun ;D

Nice dude, this post is completely useless. The standalone DayZ also will be based on the Arma-Engine + Battleye? ...good luck, there will be similar bugs/hacks/scripts and other annoying stuff @Albi I completely agree with you. blabla standalone: If the standalone is based on a modified Arma2-Engine with Battleye we can call/rename this game "DayHack". I hate Battleye. This is not an anti-cheat, BE is only a bad anti-script with more bypasses as rice on the whole world.

A have graphical glitches since I started to play this game. >/= 1.7.2.3 - glitches by manual placed wire fencing kits = 1.7.2.4 - glitches by normal (not manual placed) wire fencing kits = 1.7.2.5 - unfortunately I can not see what cause this glitches but I have no glitches in cherno If I see glitches a simple game restart will remove the glitches (only in this area).

I still have graphical glitches (using the latest arma beta patch)

So, we found the UH-H1 again.. (bottom left of the map)

No idea what's going on here, I do not know what to do... We even had the UH-H1 for about a day after we had repaired it and since then we have been constantly being raped by one or two players.. If we find cars, they will be stolen within two days.. If we find our old vehicles and run to it, we would be shot down with one bullet..

Ok, sry. All VMs are crap. Do you ever used a VServer? As prion said.. ..trying? I am doing this right now :/ ^^ ..you're right. Title changed =) Why I said "This is my way to provide an epic and fast DayZ-Server": -> I am not connecting 20 minutes to this server -> I have no connection interrupts or permanent lags -> Intel i7 2600 with vt-x support? This is a powerfull cpu dude :> Prerequisite to use this way of server hosting: -> Knowledge of Linux and VMs -> powerful server I am using this kind of server hosting for years, e.g. in CoD4 - I always wanted to be up to date. Now I am hosting this CoD4-Server via Linux without a VM and I have no recent performance boosts. Why I use Windows VMs? No restrictions, no additional costs (I have two Windows Server licenses for 2003 & 2008).

Yeah, I am the admin of this server =) That is so weird, I see this server in sixlauncher + dayzcommander :> -> DONE! =)

I restarted this server, maybe your issue will be fixed? :>
