0.63 IS NOW AVAILABLE TO ALL SERVER OWNERS + SERVER FILES SOON!
Dear DayZ server owners,
We know that it's been a couple of tough months for DayZ communities, so we're happy to have some good news for you. The first piece of news is that today, together with our Game Server Providers, we are finally enabling the switch of your servers to 0.63 Experimental.
Please read all about the switch on the forum topic here - we'll also do our best to answer any questions you may have.
There's also something else that we've got in store for you: while we've originally had that scheduled for BETA, we've decided to release the DayZ Server Files already during the 0.63 Experimental phase.
To be specific, we want to make that release happen as soon as next week - unless we hit some unexpected issues, on the 18th of September, everyone will be able to download the 0.63 Server Files from Steam, and host their own DayZ server.
Both options will still be available to you after that - you can keep things simple and just get a vanilla DayZ server from one of our GSPs, but if you want to have a more direct control of your costs, server settings, or gameplay experience, you can host your own servers.
We hope you're as excited about the news as we are - see you on your 0.63 community servers, Survivors!
DayZ Development Team
