Steam fails to launch the DayZ server on linux, the reason why is simple:

Steam is still looking for the DayZServer_x64.exe, where as the windows executable has been replaced by a linux binary.

The file itself launches fine, the steam launcher just needs to be updated.

This bug does not affect accessibility or usability, hence the word minor prefixed to the word bug.

Thank you for building a DayZ Server that targets linux.

This is another change which has had a profound impact concerning my experience with DayZ.

It makes logging and cleaning up so much easier, and I am very happy.

Thank you DayZ team for putting this together.

1. Download and install DayZ Server on steam, through the linux client.

2. Observe the button for the DayZ Server only says "uninstall"

3. Attempting to force steam to run the Server anyway, and watching the output in the shell, you can see that steam is looking for "DayZServer_x64.exe" (windows executable) where as that file has been replaced with the "DayZServer" ELF file (linux executable) for steam clients compiled for linux.

To be able to launch the server from the steam client, although I would never actually use the steam client to launch the server. (It's simpler to use a shell script.)
