Gamespy - Wassup, dude?

[taikonaut 85]

Gamespy closed down business.

 

Still, DayZ Commander provides serverlists. What´s up there? Seems like another brick in the giant version-confusion-steam-f*ckup.

 

Anyone got info about this?

DZC is using its own cached server-data. Josh has a massive list of servers cached in his own DB and he can still query those.

 

If you know the IP / Port of a server, you can still query it - you just need a realtime ssystem to search all servers out there, which is what GameSpy provided. This doesn't hold DZC back to use its own Database of servers to see if they're still up. Which is why you can still see them.

Doing it through commander z is the way ive always used and I have tried the steam download method but then i always get wrong version.

I am not surprised you get a "Wrong Version" if you're using DZC to launch it after updating with Steam.

 

You should never mix two different methods up and expect them to work. If you're staying with Steam, you will always be 100% sure you're going to launch the correct version, as Steam tells you:

Ah. thanks for clearing that up!

 

So I understand that when I set up a new server it will not show up at DayZC...

it works fine through day z commander (On Steam my OA Says : Not beta, Not updated automatically)

On Commander both ticks are ticked (update steam with beta )

version 12555 day z 1.8.1

Works fine

 

However, i have heard we can do away with commander, and use steam , so that steam shows; playing day z mod, not playing OA

This never works for me..I have tried turning the steam one to beta, automatic, everything

I still use Dayz Commander... I don't know how I can find servers via steam... tried the ingame server browser, it is horrible!

I've just tried doing it all the Steam way properly, got in a server, but as soon as I do I get some Battleye message. before i can read it it says restarting and use ArmaOA.exe or something in a black box. It boots back up and doesn't even say Im playing anything on Steam. how do i fix this battle eye ?

Edit;. when launching DAY Z Mod in steam i have to click 'beta' and it seems to fix that
