DayZ
DayZ Dedicated Server
Long First Install
The initial SteamCMD install pulls about 30 GB. Expect the first boot to take 15 to 30 minutes before the server reaches a usable state.
Mods Must Match Client-Side
Players who don't have the exact same mods installed cannot connect. Both the server (MODIFICATIONS startup var) and players must subscribe to the same workshop IDs.
Auto-Updates on Boot
The server checks SteamCMD for updates on every startup. Disable via the Startup tab if you want to lock to a version (e.g. during a community event between vanilla patches).
