General information
General considerations
- Dual CPU setups are not supported
- Steam account requires owned copy of DayZ to download and manage mods
- The launch parameter limitFPS is not supported
- Large mods that exceed 800 MiB in size are not properly handled by SteamCMD and require either a manual download or several restarts of the OmegaManager. Subsequent updates will work flawlessly
Creating server deployments
- You can not copy and paste or import your existing server. You have to deploy and configure a new instance
- You can not run the OmegaManager with the same Steam account you are logged in to the Steam Client on the same computer
Existing server installations
OmegaManager requires a specific directory layout along with its own configuration file. Therefore adding existing servers is not possible.
To add existing installations, a new deployment needs to be created. Afterwards all existing configuration files and the database can be copied over.
New server deployments
You can create new server deployments using the Deploy Server button.
Stopping OmegaManager
OmegaManager should be stopped by pressing CTRL+C while the OmegaManager console is focused. This will ensure a clean exit of OmegaManager.
Adding non-workshop mods
- Create new directory called @%yourmodname% in the server root
- Open omega.cfg
- Copy existing mod configuration and adjust directory and set file_id to 0
- Save and close omega.cfg
- Restart game server

| steamcmd_debug | Only to be used in conjunction with steam.mode "tty". | Enables raw Steam output to console. |
| steam.mode | "tty" or "basic". Defines the mode SteamCMD is being used in. | "tty" places a lock on the Steam account, meaning it can not be used for anything else, including additional OmegaManager instances. However, it is more resilient and does not prompt rate limit errors. |
