    The Linux dedicated server is indeed a free giveaway. Only the windows server executable is included. At least none of my boxes say something about that a free Linux Server is included or will be available for free.

    Chegy, Zumbi

    My announcement has nothing to do with anger, but you hopefully agree that ranting here (or anywhere else) doesn't get anyone anything faster.

    The Linux Server for 1.62 will be available once the programmers have done their job and it was tested. No matter how many threads and rant posts are made. Accept it.

    Well i know the guys are doing there best... Hope they will get the job done... Btw. I think every server or pc should use Linux... I use it on my other 2 pc's and my servers... windows 7 only on my gaming pc unfortunately.

    Steam is getting rdy to go Linux...

    Hope to see it soon!

    Don't look at the size of this post and just ban me for ranting, because I appreciate all you've done for the community, and I believe the BIS team is working hard on the new linux release, which I am looking forward to patiently. However, I think you should be a bit more polite, or hide your anger at the ranters, if only because any negativity will send more linux people into ragemode crying "we have been screwed by DayZ/Microsoft/etc!" I've been doing my part telling people to calm down and wait for the update, but I kind of resent the "given to him for free" comment. Yes, we get free server updates for you - and everyone with a brain appreciates the awesome service and continuing improvement of the game from BIS. But Linux admins are not freeloaders. I for one have spent almost $1000 hosting a server that, until it emptied out a couple days ago because of the Steam update, had been full with 64 players for the last month whenever it wasn't getting DDoSed (takistan life revolution), keeping people playing arma 2 MP when they get bored of DayZ. I have even kept paying for the server now that I've been laid off and living out of my car for a while, unable to play the game on my laptop, I haven't gotten a penny for it. So I think I have given a little bit back to the community and the game's replayability. I would happily pay for a server license too.

    EDIT: And if we are angry at anyone it should be Steam, IMO, for making it impossible for people to downgrade to 1.60 while we wait.

    Same here!

    P.S. I think we have in this forum a lot of programmers that can help with the patch... Inc. Me...

    Hallo,

    so I'm trying to install ArmA2 on my Dedicated server (I have arma on steam).

    So my Dedicated server is not my PC, I'm renting the server.

    The problem is that i dont know do I need to buy the game on a new account and intall the Steam on the server and install arma2 on it? Or I can just upload game files on my server from my PC?

    my server specs are:

    OS Debian (Linux)

    CPU Intel® Core™ i7-920 Quadcore incl. Hyper-Threading Technology

    RAM 24 GB DDR3 RAM

    Hard disks 2 x 750 GB SATA 3 Gb/s HDD (Software-RAID 1)

    NIC 1 Gbit OnBoard connected at 100 Mbit

    Backup Space 100 GB

    Is there any manual or tutorial how to do that? Here on the forums i dont see any parts do I need to upload the whole game (just copy/paste files) to the server, and then use the install script? Do I need to buy the game again to have a Dedicated server for it?

    I'm already running some other games using Wine.

    So can i get any support?

    Thank you!
