Kenturrac Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Hopefully nothing than that with 1.0.5. We have to wait for more informations. You also could try it out. Some here got steam already running. Non of them with 1.0.5. as far as I know. Cant try it out since I am still at work. Someone here who can try it out? Just update and change the reporting ip.

ReDBaroN Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 OK, I'm confused. I want to put this another way... If I upgrade my server to the latest arma version and epoch 105 and when gamespy shuts down, where do players find my server? Where is the actual list of servers in steam that you can join like the current multiplayer lobby? Sorry if I'm being daft but, I want to upgrade, have a window to do it today but, don't want to be left with my server not reported anywhere so players can't join unless they directly key in the IP address.

BetterDeadThanZed Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 For now I'm keeping my server on Arma 2 version 103718 and updating Epoch to 1.0.5. Version 112555 is too bugged and if I update my server to the newest beta, I don't know of any way to join the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReDBaroN Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 But players aren't able to update to 105 through DZC...so, aren't you still then stuck with the same problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until DayzCommand is updated, they can download the client files through Torrents. That's how I did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReDBaroN Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Steam Server Browser. Thanks, had never used it but just found in google how to get to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uro Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I downloaded it already via torrent, I did it on my dedi via torrent too, seeded the hive by 300Mbit for a while too B) :D Unfortunately I don't have a spare dedi to leave the torrent seeding on :( :rolleyes: B) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Hmmm, that's what worries me. How many are seriously going to do that.... Server owners do that so you can get all your edits and scripts done and tested. By the time it hits DZC you're done with all your edits and you swap the files over :) It will most likely his DZC later on today, never usually longer than 24hrs but it depends how busy Josh is.

raymix Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I am slightly confused while testing diff with winmerge - latest beta from steam \expansion\beta has files identical to 103718? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenturrac Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 As far as I know is steam not updating the beta files. It updates your actual game files. The beta folder should be obsolete. raymix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uro Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 The 1.63.124879 is avilable by switching your A2OA version in Steam to the beta/dev branch. It replaces the files in your A2OA root folder, and does not require the Expansion\beta\ folder as this update is a major version update to enable compatability with Steam+Steamworks for server browsing etc. If your using SteamCMD to update your dedi version use "+app_update 33930 -beta beta" (include the inverted comma's, -beta beta is there twice for a reason) in your commandline for SteamCMD.exe So winmerge won't find any difference in the files, as it's not the files in \Expansion\beta\ that will have changed. :) raymix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranoko Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I havent seen this mentioned yet and sorry if im in the wrong place but how do you go about adding the server to steam server? I know you have to change the reportingIP to steam but im not sure were the address is and https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.cfg#Additional_details is still showing gamespy. Also do you have to add steamPort = <number>; and steamQueryPort = <number>; to your config.cfg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will dig trough new server files provided by 1.0.5 and see if they provide new batch files, this is not my strongest side, as I did not invest lots of time doing dedi server stuff.

Seems the batch file is the same but just need to change the location of the file : ) i guess it would look something like this: \arma2oaserver.exe instead of: Expansion\beta\arma2oaserver.exe .

hambeast Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I just have this feeling June 30th is going to be a headache waiting to happen. this whole "steam beta then make sure you uncheck auto update" thing is going to break shit so hard...

raymix Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Well, the good thing is that now I am able to play current version and new version with few .bat file tricks. 1.0.5 for local testing and ability to still join current live server running stable beta. Nice Hopefully dayz commander switches to steam server browser and makes it possible for people to download steam beta, otherwise currently players are scattered between different patches, not helping...

I'm not sure if that's meant to be sarcasm or not lol. But yah, this whole situation is confusing me atm, and I'm not very familiar with steam and updating beta patches. That being said I have a feeling there will be a lot of people who play the game that will be entirely lost on how to get onto servers.

The point is that it's hard enough to get everyone on the same version right now. It's going to be even worse when we have to do the updates through steam.

Kenturrac Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Well what people have to do is activating arma steam beta autopatching, download the patch and deactivate arma steam beta autopatching again. Yes that sounds easy, but you know people. That will be some rough times. Try to explain to a regular Epoch gamer why they have to wait for 1.0.5. until 30 June. They will just not understand. They are not stupid, but its just a game. They want the easy way. And I dont think that it is to easy to get the steam patch as an installer for DZC. I think people have to do the hard way via steam. Time will tell. Dont expect an increase of player. Expect a decrease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
