server install help

[malice]

I've read the official how to guide, but it seems to be missing a lot of info, perhaps assumed knowledge. I have followed all of the steps and filled in the blanks from what I remember from the DayZ epoch  server days.

How do I start the server?

the batch files refer to Epochserver_x64.exe but In the directory, I only have arma3server_x64.exe

if I run arma3server_x64.exe I get the error missing XAPOFX1_5.dll

where have I gone wrong.

 

 

***** EDIT****

a quick search and I found that the dll files required are in windows/system32 and wow64 directories, and just needed to be copied over to my server2012 machine.

Have you read this guide?

Had this problem with Windows 7.  I wrongly believed I already had all the Direct X dependencies.

As OP said you can check by looking in the Windows\System32 and Windows\SYSWOW64 folders for this file XAPOFX1_5.dll.

However the proper way to fix this issue would be to visit:
