DayZ-Epoch/Server Files

Note: Both server and client should be updated to current A2OA stable 1.63.131129 or newer.

##Basic Install Guide

1. Install/update your [Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 (x86 version)] The file is called vc_redist.x86.exe

2. Download both client and server files and extract to the root Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead folder. Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead. On some Windows systems you may need to "UnBlock" the dll files. Right-click the file, Properties and click "Unblock".

3. Install MySQL server and create a new MySQL database called dayz_epoch. Next import the epoch.sql file.

4. Open HiveExt.ini and change your MySQL connection information.

5. Launch the server with -mod=@DayZ_Epoch;@DayZ_Epoch_Server; use the *.bat files found in Config-Examples folder for an example.

##Basic Upgrading Guide

1. Do step #1 in the install guide above.

2. Do step #2 in the install guide above. Be sure to update to the new MPMission, dayz_server, BattlEye filters and HiveExt.dll too.

3. Connect to your MySQL server. Make a backup first to be safe, then run the 1.0.6_Updates.sql file on your dayz_epoch database.

4. Inside the "Keys" folder on your server remove any previous day_epoch*.bikey keys. As of 1.0.6 our bikey is called dayz_epoch106.bikey and we will use a new one for each release.
