13rin 0 Posted December 11, 2018 Hello. I'm trying to get a official/public server set up. To no avail... Server files were downloaded via Steam to a dedicated kick arse box rented from a reputable company. Anyways, I can get the private shard version online and up and running, but how do I go about setting up the parameters for launching an 'OFFICIAL' Server. Everything I try comes up as a private shard. I googled the heck out of this and the only link I found to detail this was freaking broken https://dayz.com/downloads/Server_Hosting_Rules_Public.pdf Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. -Dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure this is probably the busiest week in the past 5 years for the BI DayZ team, but at some point, getting those 404 error links fixed with updated server setup/requirements/etc. information would be much appreciated.

philippj 103 Posted December 11, 2018 The server under the official tab are the official servers "maintained" by BI. It's not possible for a community server to appear on that list. Currently only GSPs have the option to host public shard servers which will possibly not change. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tabbykatze 23 Posted December 28, 2018 That's really saddening if you can only host community shard servers from a GSP because the costs are little extortionate. I do see why because then BI can be in control of the comms but it would be nice to have an official statement about why it isn't going to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
