Basic DayZ Server Guide – Fix for Launcher Issues with Too Many Mods
Problem
If your DayZ Launcher starts acting strangely or fails to display all mods, it may be because the server has too many mods loaded.
There appears to be a limit to how much data the launcher can display, and once that limit is exceeded, it can “freak out” and stop working properly.
Fix
Add the following line to your serverDZ.cfg file:
steamProtocolMaxDataSize = 4096;Important
Make sure this is added on its own line inside the config file.
Result
After adding this line, the launcher should work correctly again.
In this case, adding one extra mod pushed the server over the default launcher data limit, and increasing the protocol max data size resolved the issue.
Quick Reference
- File:
serverDZ.cfg - Add on its own line:
steamProtocolMaxDataSize = 4096;- Use when: Launcher issues caused by too many mods
