    Although DayZ Offline Mode is a simpler way of getting DayZ running on a local machine, it has certain compromises such as being unable to save your progress.
    If you want a true DayZ server experience - for single player fun or testing and experimentation with mods - then installing a local server on your PC or Laptop is the way to go.
    Thanks, Rob.

    Let me first say, I've been a sole SCUM player for years because of the offline singleplayer, let's me enjoy exploring, crafting and building without fear of a random player sniping me from a distance, suffice to say I'm not a fan of PVP. Stumbled across this video followed your instructions and now I can enjoy DayZ without being killed by anything other than the environment, zombies or my own stupidity. You are a legend, and have more than earned my subscription. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    Very informative video and very well spoken. Your video possibly saved me HOURS of troubleshooting regarding the "profiles" part of your video. I could not figure out where the profiles folder was located for a local server setup and every video or website I found didn't provide the syntax you provided. Thank you very much for this video and all your other videos that I'm sure will be just as useful. Subscribed.

  • @FuryFight3r
    @FuryFight3r 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    A better way to access the Steam Games local files is to right click the game in your steam library ('DayZ Server' in this case) hover over 'manage' and click 'Browse Local Files' this will take you directly to where ever the specific Games/Tools Installed files.
    I only suggest this because when I do any tutorial video in regards to navigating your way to the Steam Library I often get many comments saying 'Cant find steam folder', 'Can't find 'common' folder', 'Found steam folder but my game is not here'.
    Great video also! I can now learn how to survive in general and understanding the game better without being shot in the back every few minutes :P

This made it easy even for someone who has a lot of server side experience.
