Dedicated server - status

[Dwarden 1124]

if you mean the last message then that's normal error, been there for quite some time, ignore it, not yet implmented

Dwarden and others...is there _any way_ to force a server to multithread? I'm having lag/FPS issues on a small dedicated server (i5-3570K CPU w/16 GB Ram) even with the new dedicated server package. Even with -cpuCount=4, -exThreads=7 and -maxMem=8192 parameters set, the executable takes up 100% of Core0 on a 4 core CPU while Cores1-3 sit at 5-10% and performance in mission is awful.

How can I get linux files, if on the server steam is not installed? Can someone upload it somewhere, or maybe Bohemia can create a repository for actual server files(not via steam)? Because steam is not always acceseble.

you need use https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD

Has there been any developments on this new experimental Dedicated server? Reading through the first few pages and seeing both server and client FPS increases, I'd love to employ this for my clan.

This looks great!

I have it up and running but I cant seem to get the dev version (1.25.x) installed and it seems to only download stable (1.22).

I'm using the command

app_update 233780 -beta development

Does the linux server do the dev version aswell or am I pushing my luck?

Thanks!

I'm fairly sure they only make a new Linux build for each stable version.

I set up Arma 3 Server (the one in Steam Tools) on another machine at home. When I try to connect to it I instantly get "you were kicked off the game". What gives ?

EDIT

Figured it out. Ran the file integrity verification on the server and Steam updated steam_appid.txt. It used to have 233780 in it, now it has 107410. Working fine now.

Interesting that the arma3server_readme contains this info:

Setup

-----

You may find the Arma 3 Server tool in the Steam library, by switching the library filter to "Tools". Please follow the instructions provided in the Steam client application.

You may also install the Arma 3 Server via SteamCMD (https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD). Its app ID is 233780.

the problem is caused if you use steamclient instead of steamcmd as it overwrite the .txt with appiD

... simply put if you want host server, don't use Steam Client

steamCMD just download data, so all is right as it should be

note: the progress on standalone HC continues

Can someone please tell me exactly the bare minimum files I need and where they go to startup and use a dedicated server named Iceman77's Server, on my own machine? Thanks.
