Dayz launcher mod path how to#

Please refer to your distro's documentation or search engine of choice for how to properly enable case folding/insensitivity on your file system and whether it's supported. The requirements for enabling case insensitivity are an ext4 filesystem created with at least kernel version 5.2 while the casefold option was set, as well as the +F flag being set on one of the parent directories. In case of ext4, which is the default file system on most distros, case insensitivity has only been implemented in kernel 5.2, which was released in July 2019 (later improved for encrypted file systems in kernel 5.13, released in June 2021). This can lead to loading issues on Linux when a file system without case insensitivity support is being used.

Dayz launcher mod path mod#

Case sensitivity of mod-internal file pathsĭue to mods being developed on Windows and Windows not differentiating between file paths with different cases, mod developers sometimes don't care about case sensitivity of file names and directories. Please report any further issues on the issue tracker. This comes at the cost of not being able to tell mod directories apart in the DayZ game directory, at least as a human, but this should solve the issue for the vast majority of servers. In order to overcome this limitation, mod directories have been shrinked as much as possible in the 0.5.0 release, so that the launch parameters can be kept as short as possible. This problem occurs when trying to join servers which require loading lots of mods and which therefore increase the length of the launch parameters. One of the main reasons why this can happen is an unresolved bug in the Steam client which causes Steam to become unresponsive when launching it via -applaunch and passing arguments that reach a certain threshold in length. Restarting Steam and re-running the launcher fixes the issue. This is usually caused by a broken singleton process detection of Steam, where it passes the game's launch parameters to the original Steam process and then terminates. Sometimes the game doesn't launch despite the launcher correctly passing the right parameters to Steam. Please try running the launcher again if the query times out, and if the data returned by the server query API doesn't reflect the server's actual mod IDs, then custom mod IDs will need to be set as launch arguments. Previously, this was done via the v JSON API, which unfortunately wasn't perfectly reliable. Server data is queried via the third-party JSON API when using the -server parameter. dayz-launcher.sh -l -s address Known issues Third party server query API
