SparkZ 10 Posted October 24, 2015 Hello, my friend made a dedicated windows server a while ago, but it needs an update in order to be functional again. But the problem is we don't know how. There's a guide https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Dedicated_Serverhere that explains how to update with a Linux server, but doesn't show how to update with a windows server. I see it's work in progress but isn't that kinda priority to have it there too? There are not only linux servers around..:/ Anyone knows how to update? I would highly appreciate it.

Richie 330 Posted October 24, 2015 I use steamcmd to do my A3 updates, grab the windows version and then make a new .bat file, enter the following but change the username and password to your steam account, also change the path, otherwise a new folder called steamcmd will be made in the root of your C drive @echo off echo This Will Install Stable Arma3 steamcmd +login "USER" "PASS" +force_install_dir C:\steamcmd +app_update 233780 validate +quit echo ---------------------------------------- echo Download Compleate echo ---------------------------------------- pause Then double click or right click and run as admin, watch the windown and wait for it to complete, then copy all the files over your existing installation.

SparkZ 10 Posted October 24, 2015 Hmm, the server got updated, but we still can't find the server when searching for it. TADST says it's working and all but the server still doesn't appear in the list. It worked before. We played on it before, but after an Arma 3 update the server broke. We don't know what to do :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie 330 Posted October 24, 2015 Can you connect remotely ? what does your RPT log show ? do you have the game window showing it's running ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SparkZ 10 Posted October 25, 2015 The console is showing that it's running. There's no error on the RPT, we just can't find the IP remotely and by searching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie 330 Posted October 25, 2015 You got the ports opened in your firewall ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SparkZ 10 Posted October 25, 2015 He says the ports are opened, that's what he needed to do to even be able to open the server :o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie 330 Posted October 25, 2015 If you can't connect remotely then the ports are closed, stopping you connecting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
