Filters | Servers DayZ - ArmA 2 mod Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

In order to avoid going through hundreds of unnecessary servers (which even don't host the DayZ mod), you can set filters which will automatically throw away all the "junk".

In order to narrow the servers to only those which suit you, press Filter in the GameSpy search engine.

Host: here you can enter a part of the server name (using the standard symbols), for example to view servers only from a given time zone.

Max ping: maximum ping shouldn't extend over 50ms, which guarantees a fluent gameplay. Set a higher value only if your Internet connection doesn't let you get better times or when no server appear on your setting. 100ms should be considered the upper limit.

Minimum players: set the minimum amount of players you want in the game.

Maximum players: if you won't like over-crowded servers, enter the maximum amount of players here.

Mission: just write "dayz" here to filter other ArmA 2 servers.

Expansions: the DayZ mod uses all ArmA 2 expansions, so don't change anything here.

Full: if you don't want to queue for a free spot on the server, hide them with this option.

Password: if you're not interested in password-protected servers, filter them out using this.

BattleEye: BE is an anti-cheat system used to detect and ban cheaters. If want to play only on "clean" servers, use this option.
