    Just install the ArmA2OA beta patch using steam and you're sorted.

    Sounds good, and thank you for the fast response. Just a few more questions.

    • Firstly, will the dedicated server automatically register itself in Steam's server browser?
    • Does Steam need to be running to register the server?
    • Do I need to start the dedicated server through Steam?
    • And does the Steam server browser even work? I've tried finding some of my friends' servers who are also running 116523, but I can't find them.

    Thanks,

    Does anyone know how to set up a dedicated server?

    Dr. Hladik tells us that...

    To be to able to use Steam lobby you must

    - run game from Steam client, so proper application ID is used

    - to start public server you must not be hidden behind NAT

    - to start DS, steam_appid.txt must be present (so DS knows product ID)

    - steam dlls must be present

    For a little bit more information, I'm attempting to run Pwnoz0r's DayZ Server on 116523, so that I can pretty much immediately switch my server from the old GameSpy system to Steam when the time comes.

    Also note that the server IS in the Steam directory, which on the server is just the default location (C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 2 Opperation Arrowhead\). Also, if you've read Pwnoz0r's server configuration guide, that the Arma 2 directory is combined with the Arma 2 OA directory, and to be sure, I've pretty much used the vanilla config files.

    Exactly where can I find steam_appid.txt, what .dlls do I need, and what do I have to add to the configuration file (server.cfg) to get it to register in the Steam servers?
