How do I install mods?

You can install mods via the Steam Workshop or upload them manually via SFTP. Don't forget to copy the mod keys into the `keys` folder!

Do you support Altis Life?

Yes, you can install Altis Life (or other frameworks). We provide a database (MySQL).

What is a Headless Client?

An HC is a separate instance that connects like a player and takes over AI calculations. This relieves the server enormously. We support this.

How do I upload missions?

Upload your `.pbo` mission file to the `mpmissions` folder via SFTP and enter it in the `server.cfg`.

How do I become admin?

Set a `passwordAdmin` in the `server.cfg`. In the game, enter `#login YOURPASSWORD` in the chat.

How much RAM do I need?

For small missions, 4 GB is enough. For Life servers or large MilSim events with many mods, we recommend 8 GB or more.

Is there Creator DLC support?

Yes, you can activate Creator DLCs (like S.O.G. Prairie Fire) on the server.

Simply restart the server. Our system installs the update automatically.

Where can I find the logs?

The RPT logs (important for troubleshooting) are located in the profile folder or can be viewed via the web interface.

Can I change the difficulty?

Yes, in the `server.cfg` or via the profile you can set the difficulty level (Custom, Veteran, etc.).

Yes, BattlEye RCON is supported. You can use tools like 'DaRT' or 'BERCon'.

How many players fit on a server?

Technically over 100, but performance depends heavily on the mission and scripts. 60-80 is often a good limit for stable FPS.

Is BattlEye activated?

Yes, BattlEye (Anti-Cheat) is activated by default. You can deactivate it in the config if necessary.

Can I set my own parameters?

Yes, you can adjust start parameters like `-mod=...`, `-noLogs`, `-enableHT` etc. in the web interface.

Where are the servers located?

We have servers in Germany and in USA (Salt Lake City).

Customers can set up manual or automatic backups for a minimal fee.

Can I turn off signature verification?

Yes (`verifySignatures = 0;`), but we do not recommend it, as anyone with any mods can join (cheating risk).

Do you support Task Force Radio / ACRE?

Yes, these mods run without problems. But you need an additional TeamSpeak server.

What happens if my credit runs out?

The server stops. Your data remains. After topping up, it continues.

Can I change the server name?

Yes, in the `server.cfg` under `hostname`.

Frequently Asked Questions about Arma 3 Servers

Arma 3 Server Hosting: Realism without Compromise

Arma 3 is more than a game - it's a platform. Whether you conduct realistic military operations (MilSim), take on a second identity in 'Altis Life', or fight for survival in 'Exile': The possibilities are endless. But Arma 3 is also demanding. RespawnHost offers you the high-performance servers you need for smooth gameplay.

Why rent an Arma 3 server at RespawnHost?

Arma 3 is extremely CPU-heavy. The simulation of AI, ballistics, and scripts runs mostly on one core. Our servers use processors with very high single-core performance to keep FPS (Server FPS) high. This is crucial for a good gaming experience without desync.

Mods are the heart of Arma. Our system fully supports the Steam Workshop. You can easily integrate mod collections. For large missions, we offer support for Headless Clients (HC) to offload AI calculations and relieve the main server.

Features for Operation Leaders

Mod Support: Easy installation of mods and DLCs
Headless Client: Offload AI calculations (optional)
Database: MySQL/MariaDB for Life/Exile servers included
Config Editor: Adjust `server.cfg` and `basic.cfg` easily
DDoS Protection: Security for your community
SFTP Access: Full control over mission files (.pbo)

With our Pay-Per-Use model, you only pay when the operation is running. Perfect for clans that have fixed training times.

Fairness through Pay-Per-Use

Why pay for a server that stands empty all week? At RespawnHost, you only pay for the time you play. Start the server for the briefing and stop it after the debriefing. So more budget remains for Creator DLCs.

Full transparency: You see exactly what the server costs. No hidden fees. You have full control.
