Where to Find Gaming Deluxe Game Server Setup Guides
Updated
Gaming Deluxe publishes its game server setup guides on its own website, under the "More server guides" section of the game server hosting pages. The guides are written by the hosting team and currently cover DayZ, ARK, Arma 3, Rust and Conan Exiles, with each one addressing config, mods, maps, admin and fixes. They are aimed at both new server owners and existing ones who need to change settings or troubleshoot.
What the guides cover
Each guide follows the same scope, so you can expect the same categories of help regardless of which game you run:
- Config – server configuration and settings
- Mods – installing and managing mods
- Maps – map setup and changes
- Admin – administration tasks
- Fixes – common problems and how to resolve them
The listing on the site presents them as "Step-by-step setup help from the team that runs the servers," which matters if you want instructions written by people familiar with the hosting environment rather than generic community posts.
Which games have guides
| Game | Guide topics listed |
|---|---|
| DayZ | Config, mods, maps, admin and fixes |
| ARK | Config, mods, maps, admin and fixes |
| Arma 3 | Config, mods, maps, admin and fixes |
| Rust | Config, mods, maps, admin and fixes |
| Conan Exiles | Config, mods, maps, admin and fixes |
If your game is not on this list, the site states it supports 200+ games, so it is worth checking the full game list or contacting support for guidance on a title without a published guide.
How to reach the guides
- Go to the Gaming Deluxe website and open the game server hosting section.
- Scroll to the "More server guides" block near the bottom of the page.
- Select the guide for your game (DayZ, ARK, Arma 3, Rust or Conan Exiles).
- Work through the sections in order if you are setting up a new server, or jump straight to the relevant section if you are changing an existing one.
When a guide is not enough
The guides cover setup and common fixes, but they are not a substitute for support when something is specific to your server. Gaming Deluxe advertises 24/7 support with "real humans," and customer reviews on the page describe getting quick help with maps and mods. One reviewer, M MC (June 2024), notes that questions about adding maps and mods were answered instantly; another, Rob W (October 2023), reports no issues or downtime on an Arma 3 server. If a guide step does not match what you see, raising a support request is the practical next move rather than guessing at settings.
What to check before you start
- Confirm your server is deployed first — the site says servers are set up automatically once payment clears, usually within 20 minutes.
- Have your server connection details and admin credentials ready before following admin or config steps.
- Note your current settings before changing config or maps, so you can revert if something breaks.
The guides are the fastest route for standard setup tasks; support is the better route for anything account-specific or outside the documented steps.
