Won't get much more better than this step by step guide mentioned above. You still need to have a basic understanding of running a server, forwarding ports etc. And a lot of time.

What do you mean by "scenario"? An Arma3 Server running Exile?

I was wondering as well. If you did them by yourself, kudos.

CBA_A3 Problem? Google mal.

Yet another approach, if you're tech savvy and willing to invest some more time... Get a frickin' beasty linux machine for the same cash. Run windows in a virtual machine. Profit. Works great for me, and I'm far from being a tech-pro. You'll have to cope with the iptables and interfaces stuff. But that's just all one google search away.

I wish they would keep more true to the community aspect and release more of their amazing stuff...

Yes awesome idea. I think vehicles should be in fact free to be bugged in safezones. There should be a way for the vehicle owner to detect that bug... if he's got a mobile phone as well, with a certain chance per "ping to tracker".

Arma is a bitch, regarding FPS. There are so many factors going into the FPS. Often people forget to take server FPS into account, which may be ruining your machines FPS, regardless of how beastly the setup is. If the server FPS is low, you are not going to have good FPS on your machine either. A friend of mine has a killer machine. i7 6400 something, superfast RAM, 1080 something GPU... still, even on singleplayer ARMA, he won't get past 60 FPS. Basically you will profit a lot from a good CPU, then a good GPU. I switched from i5 2500k to i7 6400, retaining the GPU and it gave me a FPS boost of 15-20 frames. On the other hand I talked to people updating in a similar way with much less gains. So...

Join any Exile Chernarus server that uses CUP Terrain. The PBO will be downloaded to your local machine on joining. If you don't know where to find the mission pbo, google it. It's somewhere located at your user directories. Un-PBO it, examine it and learn from it. Then modify and build your own. That's the best way to do it, imho. And to actually learn a bit about the mission stuff.

1000$... lol. Get a beasty Linux machine and you´re good to go for less than 60-80 € per month. TS and website included. Scale up to 2-4 servers and you´re still at 300 € max.

Yeah, really annoying. I ran into that a couple of days ago. I think it's one of the first of the download-links, but I'm not sure right now. Should be fixed super quickly but it's that way since 1.0 release. (is it? just pulling this out of my behind here)

So, I´m updating to Exile 1.0 and building up a local test server. Completely vanilla, with no mods what so ever. BattlEye disabled. Trying to connect... banned. I've setup so many servers, but now I`m a bit clueless. Any suggestions? (nothing special in the RTP log)

Eeek! Thanks! That fixed it. I guess it ended up there, when I was actually running a corrupt exile-mod. (downloaded from the UK-mirror, I think)

Well... I downloaded the client files from every single link provided in the download section. All unpacked without errors.

No infistar. No mods, no BattlEye. No nothing. Just a ban. I found something about corrupted @Exile data... could this be the problem? I redownloaded it from this site and it unpacked without any errors.

A real economy. Prices dependent on supply and demand. Really hard to do, I think.

VPS = shite. You never know who dabbles with the machine.

Vollkommen korrekt. Das kommt auch noch dazu. Das ist auch der Grund, warum viele der großen Server ultrakurze Lebenszeiten für die Objekte auf dem Server haben. Da biste dann 3 Tage nicht online und wupps... ist die Base weg.

Also ich habe vor gar nicht so langer Zeit Arma noch mit einem i5 2500k gespielt und das war absolut OK. Der i7 3770 ist >absolut< ausreichend... und die 1070 wird den Grafikanteil Deines Setups einfach mal so wegfetzen. Ich würde sagen... Mach Dir mal keine Sorgen.

Die Ergebnisse sind bei vielen Leute total unterschiedlich, obwohl sie offensichtlich gleichwertige Komponenten nutzen. Generell ist zu sagen, dass Arma sehr viel Last auf den Prozessor auslagert, wo andere Spiele vieles über die GPU abhandeln. Ich habe vor einiger Zeit auf einen i7-6400 aufgerüstet und das hat meinem Spielfluss einen deutlichen Boost gegeben. Wichtig ist natürlich die SSD, um die Wartezeiten zu verringern. Wenn Du dann noch zumindest ne GTX960 in Deinem Rechner stecken hast, sollte alles flutschen. Also: Prozessorleistung + SSD + gute GraKa = gut für Arma (in der Reihenfolge) Optimisierungstutorials gibt es wie Sand am Meer bei Youtube. Manche sind ganz gut, die meisten versprechen allerdings mehr, als sie wirklich halten können. Wichtig zu beachten... deine FPS bei Exile sind auch abhängig von den FPS, die der Server liefert. Läuft der Server schlecht, wirst Du auf deinem Rechner keine hohen FPS erzielen können. Wenn du die reinen FPS testen willst, lade dir eine der Benchmarking-Missionen aus dem Workshop runter und dann wirst du sehen, was dein Rechner in der Lage ist zu leisten. Gute Exile Server sollten unter Last nicht weniger als 20 FPS bieten. Ich betreibe z.B. einen Server, der bei 20 Spielern so auf bummelig 25-35 FPS kommt und das ist für einen privaten Server schon gar nicht schlecht. Die großen Arma-Server Anbieter haben da aber noch bestimmt ne Schippe mehr zu bieten. Also, wichtig ist die Unterscheidung zwischen Multiplayer-FPS (abhängig von Server-FPS) und Singleplayer-FPS (ausschließlich abhängig von deiner Hardware).

Sure. This is basically what everyone does. The mission file is automatically downloaded, when joining a server. Go to your local profile and you'll find it there. I suggest you unpack the PBO with this tool: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=16369 Go through the files to learn a bit about managing scripts and stuff. And yes, of cause you got my permission to use the file as you wish... I don't really care and we all started at some point. Just change my server specific stuff like servername, logos etc. and you're good to go. Sooner or later you'll decide to build up your own mission file anyways.

Hey guys... this has been discussed quite often now... e.g. here. ...but this is getting a little out of hand on my server. 17:15:08 Server: Object 2:6836 not found (message Type_92) Like... >really< out of hand, spamming my logs with several thousand lines per server cycle. The more players, the more spam. I'm running CBA_A3 VEMF DMS Occupation CUP Vehicles CUP Weapons CUP Units Is this some kind of failing server internal object reference? What causes this? Maybe the AIs? Are you guys experiencing this as well? Did you fix it somehow? Any suggestions are very much appreciated! Cheers.

You could for example hop on my server, download the mission file and grab the config file from there. I have CUP Weapons, CUP Vehicles and CUP Units running. All nicely configured for the trader. No loot spawns for CUP, though.

I mean, that I was too stupid to see my error.
