Your server's join instructions are written around DZSA and you don't want to change anything.
You only ever play on Windows and never need Linux or a web server browser.
For everything else — Linux, a signed installer, fake servers removed at the source, a web server browser and tools for server owners — DayZ Beans has you covered.
Yes. It does what DZSA does — browse community servers, download their Workshop mods, join in one click — and adds Linux support, server-side fake server removal, a web server browser and a free dashboard for server owners. It is free for players with no premium tier.
Yes. Both launchers use the same Steam Workshop mods, so you can run them side by side and keep whichever you prefer. Nothing is re-downloaded.
No, DZSA Launcher is Windows only. DayZ Beans Launcher ships a Linux AppImage with auto-updates.
Free download. No account required. Keep your existing mods.
