Are you guys gonna get dayZ for manage vds?

[HowIChrgeLazer]

A question for those playing dayZ, our young guy has arma 2, and wants to play dayz, does he have to install anything for his game, or is this just something that's required for the game server?

I recommend getting six updater to keep DayZ up-to-date. Makes it easy to manage.

You'll also need the Arma 2 OA Beta Patch (if six updater doesn't have it, go here: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php)

It says you need ARMA 2 Combined Operations (v1.60 or newer) (ARMA 2 Original and Operation Arrowhead expansion)

If I have Arma II, then if I get Operation Arrowhead, we should be good to go?

That plus running the Six Shooter to get the DayZ files, then yes you are good to go.

Have to laugh.
The addon is $19.99.

But the 2 together can be purchased for $24.99

May as well purchase the package.

Our Arma II was purchased through Greenmangaming on Capsule and been reading a lot of people are having problems running it.

Bump! Very interested in getting this on our dedicated managed server rather then our VDS.

It is something we are still working on. At the moment we are evaluating CPU usage and the installation procedure. I should have more information in the coming days.

That's great news. Thank you!

Reading Arma II servers use a lot of resources, so other GSP's are charging a lot for them. One is priced at $94.20/month for 50 slots. 50 slots is the only size.

Thats a wee bit more expensive then BF3 servers. But I can totally understand because it takes a lot of resources.

Looking at gameservers, I think they were charging $3.68/slot just for Arma II.
That's rather heavy.

We sell ArmA2 servers through our shared system here, and have for quite some time. We don't charge quite that much for them, but they are indeed extremely CPU-intensive, which is why we have a minimum size.

The high usage stems mostly from all the AI from bots. Some customers also use persistent maps, which further increase it.

We have tons of room to breath on our E3-1270 machine right now, but it's managed because of BF3. So we are waiting until you guys are able to get an auto updater/installer for our managed server. Our unmanaged VDS is already loaded down with COD servers, and rcon tools.

Should I open a support ticket to keep an eye on this. Or do you think your still a couple weeks away?

It is still a little while away. Since DayZ is still in Alpha I am playing it slow since I have no idea if they will suddenly change everything up.

At the moment it is looking like it will work on a managed set up here but the end user will need to do a lot of manual work to get the mod going.

DayZ is now in Beta stage.. plz..give us more info on what your working on to get DayZ? like what is missing for u guys to be able to add the dayZ ?

[kraze]

The main thing is that DayZ requires the beta build of Arma OA. We do not have a system to allow customers to switch to the latest beta build.
