It announces wipes in the update article, usually alongside a big stable release, so watch the experimental phase for the next hint. Community servers are different: the owner decides when to wipe. Below: every official wipe since 2021, how to read the signs for the next one, and how to update and wipe your own server without losing the world by accident.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"when-is-the-next-dayz-server-wipe-2026\">When is the next DayZ server wipe? (2026)<\/h2>\n<p>As of October 27, 2026, no next wipe date has been announced. The most recent official server wipe happened on October 15, 2026, with update 1.30, and before that Bohemia announced a full wipe for the 1.29 stable build, which went live on April 8, 2026. Bohemia wipes with big updates, not on a fixed calendar, and announces it in the update article or the status report before it.<\/p>\n<p>The pattern that helps you guess:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Experimental first.<\/strong> Each update runs on the experimental branch on PC before it goes stable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stable 4 to 6 weeks later.<\/strong> That&#8217;s Bohemia&#8217;s own rule of thumb from its February 2026 status report.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The wipe goes with stable.<\/strong> When an update has a wipe, it happens on the stable release day across official servers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>So when the next experimental build appears in Bohemia&#8217;s Steam news, read the article for the word &#8220;wipe&#8221;. If it&#8217;s there, the wipe lands with the stable release roughly a month or so later.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"dayz-official-server-wipe-history\">DayZ official server wipe history<\/h2>\n<p>Bohemia has wiped its official servers with a handful of updates since 2021, but not with every update; it said in 2021 it wouldn&#8217;t. Some wipes cleared everything, some only the map. Here are the wipes Bohemia announced in its update posts:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Date<\/th>\n<th>Update<\/th>\n<th>What was wiped<\/th>\n<th>Community servers<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Oct 15, 2026<\/td>\n<td>1.30 + Badlands<\/td>\n<td>Full wipe, all platforms<\/td>\n<td>Owner&#8217;s choice<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Apr 8, 2026<\/td>\n<td>1.29 stable<\/td>\n<td>Full wipe announced for the stable release (Feb 2026 status report)<\/td>\n<td>Owner&#8217;s choice<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Aug 14, 2025<\/td>\n<td>1.29 experimental<\/td>\n<td>Experimental servers and characters only<\/td>\n<td>Not affected<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Feb 25, 2025<\/td>\n<td>1.27<\/td>\n<td>Full wipe, all platforms: all maps and characters<\/td>\n<td>Owner&#8217;s choice<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Oct 15, 2024<\/td>\n<td>Frostline expansion<\/td>\n<td>Official servers wiped after the loot economy went regional<\/td>\n<td>Bohemia recommended a wipe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Nov 7, 2023<\/td>\n<td>1.23<\/td>\n<td>Both maps wiped; characters and the loot they carried kept<\/td>\n<td>Owner&#8217;s choice<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>May 23, 2023<\/td>\n<td>1.21<\/td>\n<td>Characters and server persistence files<\/td>\n<td>&#8220;Not mandatory&#8221;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Jul 2021<\/td>\n<td>1.13<\/td>\n<td>Complete wipe: characters, items, vehicles, bases<\/td>\n<td>&#8220;At their own discretion&#8221;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>The DayZ server wipe 2025:<\/strong> the official wipe of 2025 came with update 1.27 on February 25. Bohemia called it a full wipe on all platforms, every map and every character. The other 2025 wipe was on the experimental branch only, in August, to test a new loot economy.<\/p>\n<p>Before the 1.13 wipe, Bohemia boosted helicopter crash events with high-tier loot on official servers for the days leading up to it. So if crash sites suddenly seem everywhere, a wipe may be close.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"do-community-servers-wipe-when-official-servers-do\">Do community servers wipe when official servers do?<\/h2>\n<p>No. A community server only wipes when its owner deletes the server&#8217;s storage. Bohemia&#8217;s wipe announcements apply to official servers. It said community owners can decide &#8220;at their own discretion&#8221; in 2021, and &#8220;not mandatory for community servers&#8221; in 2023. Still, a big update is a good reason to consider it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Loot or map changes.<\/strong> When Frostline made the loot economy regional, Bohemia recommended community owners wipe too. A world saved under the old economy can keep old loot around for a long time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>New mods.<\/strong> Some mods ask for a fresh start. Community Framework&#8217;s Workshop page says to wipe before installing it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your players want one.<\/strong> A wipe resets everyone to equal. Many communities announce a date and wipe with the update.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keeping the world through an update is fine too. If the server starts and plays normally after updating, nothing forces a wipe.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-update-a-dayz-server\">How to update a DayZ server<\/h2>\n<p>Updating a DayZ server uses the same SteamCMD command that installed it: <code>app_update 223350<\/code> for stable, <code>1042420<\/code> for experimental. Stop the server properly first, back up the mission folder, update, update your mods, then start and check the log. Players can&#8217;t join until the server is on their build.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Shut down gracefully.<\/strong> Use the restart countdown in <code>messages.xml<\/code> or your RCon tool, not a hard kill. Bohemia warns that a hard stop can damage characters and stored data.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Back up<\/strong> the mission folder, including <code>storage_1<\/code> (the number follows <code>instanceId<\/code>), plus <code>serverDZ.cfg<\/code>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Run the update:<\/strong>\n<pre><code>steamcmd +force_install_dir C:\\dayzserver +login your_steam_name +app_update 223350 +quit<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>  On Linux it&#8217;s the same with <code>steamcmd.sh<\/code>. Bohemia&#8217;s Linux guide puts this in an <code>update.sh<\/code> that systemd runs before every start, so a restart is also an update.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Update every mod<\/strong> with the same <code>+workshop_download_item 221100 &lt;id&gt;<\/code> lines you installed them with, and copy any new <code>.bikey<\/code> files into <code>keys<\/code>. Details: <a href=\"https:\/\/gameteam.io\/blog\/dayz-server-mods\/\">how to add mods to a DayZ server<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check the mission files.<\/strong> Bohemia publishes the official mission folders on GitHub (DayZ-Central-Economy), updated with the game. If an update changes loot or adds items, compare your edited <code>types.xml<\/code> and other <code>db<\/code> files with the new versions and copy the changes across.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Start and read the RPT log.<\/strong> A clean start means you&#8217;re done.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Want to test an update before it&#8217;s stable? Install the experimental server (1042420) into a separate folder with its own ports and <code>instanceId<\/code>. Bohemia says the experimental phase exists partly so modders and server owners can check compatibility in time.<\/p>\n<p>On <a href=\"https:\/\/gameteam.io\/dayz-server-hosting\">DayZ server hosting<\/a>, steps 3 and 6 are one action: stop the server and start it again, and it updates to the latest DayZ build on start. The backups and mod checks still apply.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"server-version-doesnt-match-the-local-version\">&#8220;Server version doesn&#8217;t match the local version&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>This error means the server and the player are on different builds of DayZ. With <code>forceSameBuild = 1<\/code>, Bohemia&#8217;s default, the server only lets in clients on its exact build. It nearly always shows up right after an update, when one side has updated and the other hasn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Situation<\/th>\n<th>Fix<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>DayZ just updated on Steam, the server didn&#8217;t<\/td>\n<td>Update the server and restart it<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The server updated, a player didn&#8217;t<\/td>\n<td>The player restarts Steam so DayZ updates<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Player is on experimental, the server on stable (or the other way round)<\/td>\n<td>Both switch to the same branch<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Setting <code>forceSameBuild = 0<\/code> switches the check off, but it doesn&#8217;t make the builds match. Updating is the real fix.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-wipe-a-dayz-server\">How to wipe a DayZ server<\/h2>\n<p>To wipe your own DayZ server, stop it, back up, and delete the mission&#8217;s storage folder: <code>mpmissions\/&lt;your mission&gt;\/storage_1<\/code>. On the next start the server builds a fresh one and spawns the map&#8217;s full loot (<code>InitialSpawn<\/code> is 100%). That&#8217;s a full wipe: characters, bases, vehicles, stashes and the time of day are gone.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Announce it. A date and time gives players a last weekend with their gear.<\/li>\n<li>Stop the server gracefully.<\/li>\n<li>Copy <code>storage_1<\/code> somewhere safe. This is your way back if the vote changes.<\/li>\n<li>Delete <code>storage_1<\/code> from the mission folder.<\/li>\n<li>Start the server. The first start takes longer while it spawns the whole map.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Not ready to delete it?<\/strong> The server keeps its own rolling backups too: by default one every 60 minutes, the last 12 (<code>backup_period<\/code> and <code>backup_count<\/code> in <code>cfgeconomycore.xml<\/code>). Those protect against corruption, not against a wipe you regret, so keep your own copy as well.<\/p>\n<p>Running more than one server on a machine? Each one has its own storage folder numbered by <code>instanceId<\/code>. Make sure you delete the right one.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"update-and-wipe-problems\">Update and wipe problems<\/h2>\n<p>Most trouble after a DayZ update traces back to three things: mods that haven&#8217;t caught up, mission files from the old version, or a server that never actually updated. Check the RPT log first.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Problem<\/th>\n<th>Likely cause<\/th>\n<th>Fix<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Server won&#8217;t start after an update<\/td>\n<td>A mod not yet updated for the new build<\/td>\n<td>Take mods off the end of <code>-mod=<\/code> until it starts; wait for that mod&#8217;s update<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Players kicked with a signature error<\/td>\n<td>A mod updated with a new key<\/td>\n<td>Copy the new <code>.bikey<\/code> into <code>keys<\/code><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>New items from the update never spawn<\/td>\n<td>Your <code>types.xml<\/code> is from the old version<\/td>\n<td>Merge in the new entries from Bohemia&#8217;s mission files<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Everything came back after a wipe<\/td>\n<td>The wrong storage folder was deleted<\/td>\n<td>Check <code>instanceId<\/code>; delete the matching <code>storage_<\/code> folder<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bases vanished after an update<\/td>\n<td>Corrupted persistence files, which <code>storageAutoFix<\/code> replaces with empty ones<\/td>\n<td>Restore your backup of <code>storage_1<\/code><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"faq\">FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"do-dayz-official-servers-wipe-every-update\">Do DayZ official servers wipe every update?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Bohemia said in 2021 it wouldn&#8217;t wipe with every update, and it hasn&#8217;t. Recent full wipes came with 1.27 (Feb 2025) and 1.30 (Oct 2026), and Bohemia announced one for the 1.29 stable release in 2026.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"does-a-wipe-delete-my-character\">Does a wipe delete my character?<\/h3>\n<p>A full wipe does. Some wipes only reset the map: the 1.23 wipe in 2023 kept characters and the loot they carried. Bohemia says which kind in the announcement.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"is-the-new-dayz-update-out\">Is the new DayZ update out?<\/h3>\n<p>The current stable update is 1.30, released October 15, 2026 together with the DayZ Badlands expansion and its map, Nasdara.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"how-do-i-find-the-dayz-server-wipe-date\">How do I find the DayZ server wipe date?<\/h3>\n<p>Read Bohemia&#8217;s update and status-report posts in DayZ&#8217;s Steam news. For a community server, check its Discord or the message of the day. The owner sets the date.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"will-updating-my-server-wipe-it\">Will updating my server wipe it?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Updating replaces the game files, not the storage folder. Your world only goes if you delete <code>storage_1<\/code>, or if a mod or file problem corrupts it, which is why you back up first.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"how-long-does-a-dayz-server-update-take\">How long does a DayZ server update take?<\/h3>\n<p>The download is usually the slow part, and it depends on the size of the update and of your mods. Starting a freshly wiped server takes longer than a normal restart, because the whole map&#8217;s loot spawns at once.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"skip-the-setup-updates-and-wipes-in-one-sentence\">Skip the setup: updates and wipes in one sentence<\/h2>\n<p>On a hosted server none of this needs SteamCMD. With <a href=\"https:\/\/gameteam.io\/dayz-server-hosting\">DayZ server hosting<\/a> on GameTeam, stopping and starting the server updates it to the latest DayZ build, Backup Now saves the world (and you can lock a backup so it&#8217;s never rotated out), and the copilot can put nightly backups on a schedule. Or ask the AI copilot: &#8220;back up the server, then wipe it for 1.30 and restart&#8221;. It makes the backup, clears <code>storage_1<\/code> and restarts. If the server won&#8217;t come back after an update, it reads the RPT log and names the mod or file that broke. You pay per GB of RAM with unlimited slots, from $0.49\/GB a week.<\/p>\n<p>Setting up a server from scratch?
