Survive the Fall of Civilization

Waking Up to a World in Ruin

DayZ drops you into a relentless open-world survival experience, set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland ravaged by a deadly virus. You begin with almost nothing — just your instincts and determination. Fight to stay alive as you scavenge for food, weapons, and shelter while avoiding both the infected and other desperate survivors.

Survival by Any Means

Whether you go it alone or team up with other players, every decision matters. DayZ's unforgiving environment forces you to adapt quickly. Navigate hostile terrain, build makeshift bases, manage your health, and stay one step ahead of danger — both human and infected. Trust is rare, and betrayal can be deadly.

Emergent Storytelling

DayZ isn't just a game — it's a sandbox for unpredictable human interaction. Form alliances, wage ambushes, or quietly disappear into the woods. No two encounters are the same. With dynamic weather, persistent servers, and a strong modding community, DayZ offers a constantly evolving survival challenge shaped by its players.

System Requirements

To host a DayZ server manually, you'll need at least a quad-core CPU and 8 GB of RAM. Windows 10 (64-bit) or Windows Server 2016/2019 is recommended. SSD storage is highly encouraged, especially if you plan to host mods or many players.

Installation

You can install the server using SteamCMD or via Steam if you own the game. SteamCMD is the more common method for dedicated hosting.

For Windows:

steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir \path\to\server +login anonymous +app_update 2233500 validate +quit

You'll also need to forward UDP ports 2302-2305 to allow players to connect.

Starting the server

You'll need to create a batch file to launch your server. Configuration is done in serverDZ.cfg and other .xml files in the mpmissions folder.

Example start command:

Windows:

DayZServer_x64.exe -config=serverDZ.cfg -port=2302 -profiles=ServerProfile -dologs -adminlog -netlog -freezecheck
