01 · SERVER DISCOVERY

Find somewhere to play.

Search the DayZ server directory and filter by version, mods, play style and map. See players, ping, game time and mod requirements before you connect.

Wolf Launcher server browser showing DayZ servers, filters, player counts and connection details — Stable and Experimental servers, together in one browser.

02 · WORKSHOP MODS

Wolf handles the boring bit.

Choose a server and Wolf checks its Workshop requirements against what you already have installed. See what is ready, what needs attention, and let Steam handle the downloads and updates before launch.

03 · THE RIGHT INSTALLATION

Stable. Experimental.
Windows. Linux.

Keep DayZ Stable and Experimental installed side-by-side. Wolf identifies the edition a server requires and launches the correct installation. Steam, Workshop paths and Linux/Proton compatibility are detected automatically where possible.
