How To Update DayZ Server
Keeping your DayZ server up to date is essential if you want players to connect without issues and enjoy the latest bug fixes, stability improvements, and new features.
Updates roll out through Steam, and missing one usually means your server won’t match the client version—leading to connection errors or crashes.
Staying on top of updates not only avoids downtime, it also ensures your server benefits from performance tweaks that can make gameplay smoother.
