This guide walks you through the process of setting up your own Arma 3 server, ensuring you have everything you need for an optimized and enjoyable multiplayer experience.

Our VPS packages come with guaranteed CPU resources, SSD storage, and 24/7 support to ensure your server runs smoothly. Check out our VPS hosting options here.

Step 2: Install SteamCMD

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
                    sudo apt install lib32gcc-s1 lib32stdc++6 curl wget net-tools screen ufw -y
                    mkdir ~/steamcmd && cd ~/steamcmd
                    wget https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
                    tar -xvzf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz

Step 3: Install the Arma 3 Server using SteamCMD

./steamcmd.sh
                    login anonymous
                    force_install_dir ~/arma3-server
                    app_update 233780 validate
                    quit

Step 4: Configure Firewall Rules

sudo ufw allow ssh
                    sudo ufw allow 2302:2306/udp
                    sudo ufw allow 2344/udp
                    sudo ufw allow 2345/udp
                    sudo ufw enable

Step 5: Configure Arma 3 Server

Create a server.cfg file in your server directory:

nano ~/arma3-server/server.cfg

Add the following configuration:

// Server name displayed in browser
hostname = "Your Arma 3 Server";

// Server password (leave empty for public)
password = "";

// Admin password for remote admin
passwordAdmin = "YourAdminPassword";

// Maximum players
maxPlayers = 64;

// Voting settings
voteMissionPlayers = 1;
voteThreshold = 0.33;

// Security
BattlEye = 1;
verifySignatures = 2;

// Performance
MaxMsgSend = 128;
MaxSizeGuaranteed = 512;
MaxSizeNonguaranteed = 256;
MinBandwidth = 131072;
MaxBandwidth = 10000000000;

// Mission rotation
class Missions {
    class Mission1 {
        template = "MP_Coop_m01.Altis";
        difficulty = "Regular";
    };
};

Step 6: Create Startup Script

Create a startup script for better server management:

nano ~/start-arma-server.sh

Add the following content:

#!/bin/bash
cd ~/arma3-server
screen -dmS arma3 ./arma3server -name=server -config=server.cfg -port=2302
echo "Arma 3 server started in screen session. To view, use: screen -r arma3"

Make the script executable:

chmod +x ~/start-arma-server.sh

Step 7: Start Your Server

~/start-arma-server.sh

Step 8: Connect to Your Arma 3 Server

To join your server, launch Arma 3 through Steam, navigate to the Multiplayer menu, and click "Direct Connect". Enter your server's IP address and port 2302. You can also find your server in the Server Browser if it's set to be visible.

Enhancing Your Server

Consider adding popular mods from Steam Workshop like ACE3, TFAR, or RHS to enhance gameplay. You can also install custom missions, configure headless clients for AI processing, and set up script-based anti-cheat systems.

Server Maintenance

Remember to regularly update your server with:

cd ~/steamcmd
./steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir ~/arma3-server +app_update 233780 validate +quit
Note: While self-hosting gives you complete control, it requires technical knowledge and ongoing maintenance. XGamingServer offers specialized Arma 3 Server Hosting with instant setup, performance guarantees, and 24/7 technical support - saving you time and ensuring optimal performance.

Setting up an Arma 3 server on a VPS might seem daunting at first, but by following these detailed steps, you can create a robust, customizable gaming environment that meets your specific needs.

Why should I choose Arma 3 dedicated Server Hosting from a hosting provider?
  • Choosing dedicated Arma 3 Hosting from a hosting provider offers greater stability, better performance, and a more secure hosting environment compared to running a server on your own.

Additionally, hosting providers often offer support services to help manage your server efficiently.
Can I manage my Arma 3 Hosting on my own?
  • Yes, with Arma 3 Dedicated Server Hosting, you have complete control over the server and can manage it on your own. However, some hosting providers may offer additional services such as server administration, backups, and security to help you keep your server running smoothly. For us, you will manage your Arma 3 server using our custom game panel.
How many players can join my Arma 3 server?
  • Arma 3 servers can support anywhere from small 4-player co-op missions to massive 100+ player operations. The actual player count depends on your server resources and mission complexity.
  • Small co-op missions: 4-16 players with moderate resources.
  • Standard multiplayer: 32-64 players for game modes like King of the Hill or Altis Life.

Is Arma 3 Hosting affordable?
  • The cost of Arma 3 Hosting will vary depending on the provider, the server configuration, and the amount of resources you need. At XGamingServer we have plans from $8, dedicated server hosting is more expensive compared to shared hosting, but it offers more performance, stability, and control over the server.
Can I upgrade my Arma 3 Hosting as my needs change?
  • Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your Arma 3 Hosting anytime you need.
What are the system requirements for hosting an Arma 3 server?
  • Minimum System Requirements:
    • Operating System: Windows 10 (64-bit)
    • Processor: Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 3 3300X

    • DirectX: Version 12
    • Storage: 50 GB of space, with SSD preferred for quicker load times and smoother play.
Can I host an Arma 3 server for free?
  • While you can technically host an Arma 3 server on your own PC for free, this comes with significant limitations: your server is only online when your PC is running, you'll experience performance issues during gameplay, your home internet upload speed limits player connections, and you expose your network to security risks.
  • Professional Arma 3 server hosting like XGamingServer offers 24/7 uptime, dedicated AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processors, DDoS protection, automated backups, and guaranteed RAM - features impossible to replicate with free self-hosting.
  • For serious players and communities, paid hosting starting at $10.50/month delivers far better value than the electricity costs, hardware wear, and gameplay compromises of free self-hosting.
