NOTE: 2.02. PROF/PERF up! you don't need a new client on the PERF/PROF server! there is a branch on steam you may use, but beware that sometimes data on dropbox are newer due to manual build e.g. on weekend: Servers (down, up only if needed): PERF = STABLE branch compatible, no debug layer, no #captureFrame nor diag_captureFrame PROF = STABLE branch compatible, with debug layer, with #captureFrame / diag_captureFrame possible server fps increases and clients may experience higher fps too downloads

due to problem of move == merge , here is new thread old huge multigame-thread: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=111540

Following steps shall help you to setup Project Argo dedicated server: 0. dedicated server data package STEAM appid = 563930 , param for steamCMD "-beta server" , size only ~3 GB 1. most of steps is like for Arma 3 dedicated server (configs, folder/file-structure, command-line parameters) https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Dedicated_Server 2. no BattlEye (only on official servers) 3. no callExtension (disabled altogether) 4. no control over difficulty settings 5. not yet dedicated server data package (to be decided) 6. no linux dedicated server 7. new server.cfg setting: autoSelectMission = true; // reports mission inside mission cycle even before first player join the server 8. new server.cfg setting for timeouts (details in https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/140837-development-branch-changelog/page-46#entry3115444 ) votingTimeOut = 30; roleTimeOut = 45; briefingTimeOut = 20; debriefingTimeOut = 30; 9. new server setting which allows missions from Missions class to be selected randomly (with equal probability), only rule is that two successive missions are always different (with exeption of one mission in the list). class Missions { randomOrder = true; class mission1 { template = "mission1.VR"; }; class mission2 { template = "mission2.VR"; }; }; 10. there are three mission cycle mission names (3 scenarios) {since 0.73 all locations are available in data) class Missions { class ProjectArgoMission01 { template = "MP_ARGO_Raid_Airfield.Abel"; //actual missions //template = "MP_ARGO_Raid_La_Trinite.Abel"; //previous missions //template = "MP_ARGO_Raid_MOUT.Abel"; //aprevious missions //template = "MP_ARGO_Raid_Radio_Station.Abel"; //previous missions //template = "MP_ARGO_Raid_Le_Port.Abel"; //previous missions //template = "MP_ARGO_Raid_AA_Site.Abel"; //previous missions }; class ProjectArgoMission02 { template = "MP_ARGO_Conf_Larche.Abel"; //actual missions //template = "MP_ARGO_Conf_La_Trinite.Abel"; //previous missions //template = "MP_ARGO_Conf_Cancon.Abel"; //previous missions //template = "MP_ARGO_Conf_Sainte_Marie.Abel"; //previous missions //template = "MP_ARGO_Conf_Le_Port.Abel"; //previous missions //template = "MP_ARGO_Conf_La_Riviere.Abel"; //previous missions }; class ProjectArgoMission03 { template = "MP_ARGO_Link_Le_Port.Abel"; //actual missions //template = "MP_ARGO_Link_Sainte_Marie.Abel"; //previous missions //template = "MP_ARGO_Link_Cancon.Abel"; //previous missions //template = "MP_ARGO_Link_Arudy"; //previous missions //template = "MP_ARGO_Link_Airfield.Abel"; //previous missions }; }; 11: Update 0.75 added new New server settings ARGOMissionVoteType = "MissionType"; //Either Clash or Raid depends on the gamemode you want to run ARGOMissionVote = true; // allows people to vote for next map after game ends For Raid And Clash both of these settings need to be present in server.cfg. For mixed you only need to use ARGOMissionVote = true; 12: Update 0.75 also added hardcore mode to enable it paste the following line to server.cfg forcedDifficulty = "Hardcore"; 13: Update 0.76 added new server settings for Inactivity and TeamKilling kickTeamKill = 2; kickInactive = 60;

just remember you can manually disable the automatic 1:2 (the threshold in new UEFI bios is 1833) so if you lucky you can run uCLK/fCLK at 1833 or 1866 or 1900 in sync also i recommend Ryzen DRAM calculator 1.6 (or newer) for tweaking memory timings https://www.overclock.net/forum/28064156-post4887.html

not bad at all i must say , even with that latency

@oldbearwhat are the timings on that memory ?

it's unfortunate, yet known bug which went unnoticed for long time as server used higher values than 1,2 cycles when the server uses missionsToServerShutdown / missionsToServerRestart feature (automatic process end) instead of triggering this after DebriefingTimeout it proceed with the operation instantly at missionEnd will try get this fixed as soon as possible

note: large official Warlords servers (44 and 52 players atm.) may run slightly modded/improved variant of above to provide more enjoyable experience

samatra already told me, if you run the unsafeCVL=0; (aka safeCVL enabled) then there is issue which needs to be addressed in the normal (legacy) unsafeCVL it all shall work fine
