This topic pertains to query protocol changes in these games due to GameSpy being shutdown. The information in here will be most useful to people who are trying to upgrade their server, but cannot get it to scan.


If your server is not scanning, you will likely need to update its query port on GameTracker. You may need to update the server firewall as well to allow traffic on the new port. You can update the query port by visiting your server page and clicking "claim server". On the following page, you will see a text area which lets you update the query port when the server is "dead".


For ARMA2 and DAYZMOD servers:

Check your server configuration for "steamQueryPort" and use that port number. By default its 27016, or your connect port + 1.

For ARMA3 servers:

As of 06/30/2014, the ARMA3 query port is hardcoded to connect port + 1. If your connect port is 2302, then your query port would be 2303.


GameTracker primarily focuses development against most recent versions of game servers. While GameTracker still supports the gamespy4 query protocol, if you run into issues related to this topic we recommend upgrading your server to the latest version and testing prior to posting any support or bug requests.
