DayZ Server is now Generally Available outside Experimental

Good to know. I will just need to update the appid details etc. I should be able to release as a hotfix :)

Connecting anonymously to Steam Public...OK
Waiting for client config...OK
Waiting for user info...OK
ERROR! Failed to install app '223350' (No subscription)
Failure! Validating dayzserver: : Steam account does not have a license for the required game

looks like the appid requires steam auth and is not anonymous. How annoying

Brilliant thanks. Logins do add an extra level of unnecessary annoyance for game servers. Hopefully they amend this soon. I am unsure if to go ahead with login added or wait a day or 2 to see if they rectify quickly.

I think you need steamauth for workshop mod. DayZ servers are most of the times modded.

[0x346e3730]

Yeah I think it would be easier supporting authentification, the windows version did not support anonymous login since launch and I don't see any reason why they would allow it anytime soon + indeed for workshop (that is used a lot on dayz) you would require to be authenticated anyway. Are there any gameservers already working like that so I could update my PR when I have some free time ?

Wow! Good work guys. So happy this is supported, converting my server now.

@0x346e3730 there are a few. See Killingfloor as an example. It is a shame as from what I know its a tick box settings change in there steam account somewhere

[0x346e3730]

Updated the PR, from my understanding by looking at the bash code this is the only thing needed so that steamcmd is authenticated in all commands. Will need to take a deeper look at the workshop integration as there is mod signing on DayZ that requires servers to add mods keys' into the servers' keys folder (see Run DayZ Server -> With Mods @ https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/DayZ:Hosting_a_Linux_Server) to work properly.
