Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

General

What is MCM Gaming? +
MCM Gaming is a gaming community focused on military simulation and survival games. We run multiple 24/7 servers for DCS World, ARMA III, Arma Reforger, DayZ, Icarus, and more. Whether you're a hardcore sim pilot or just want to have fun, you're welcome here.
How do I join the community? +
Just hop on our Discord server! That's where we coordinate events, chat, and help each other out. No application needed - just join and say hello.
Do I need to be experienced to join? +
Nope! All skill levels are welcome. We have experienced players who are happy to help newcomers learn the ropes. The only requirement is a good attitude and willingness to have fun.
How can I support the community? +
Running 24/7 servers isn't cheap! If you'd like to help cover the electric bill, you can buy us a coffee on Ko-fi. No pressure though - just playing on our servers and being part of the community is support enough.

DCS World

How do I connect to the DCS servers? +
In DCS World, go to Multiplayer and search for "MM SERVER SMACK" - you'll see all our servers listed. Pick the one running the map/mission you want to play and join. No password required.
Do I need mods to play on your servers? +
All mods are OPTIONAL. You can join any of our servers without mods installed. However, mods enhance the experience with additional aircraft and features. Check the DCS page for more info on our mod pack.
What DCS maps do I need? +
We run servers on multiple maps:
  • Caucasus - Free with DCS World
  • Persian Gulf - Paid DLC
  • Syria - Paid DLC
  • Sinai - Paid DLC
  • South Atlantic - Paid DLC
  • Marianas - Paid DLC
You only need the map for the server you want to join. The Caucasus server is always free to play!
What are your DCS missions about? +
Our missions feature dynamic warfare with custom MOOSE scripting. This means AI-driven combat, logistics systems, base capture mechanics, and evolving battlefields. Every session is different because the war progresses based on player actions.

Other Games

How do I find your ARMA / DayZ / other servers? +
Search for "MCM" or "MM" in each game's server browser. You can also check our Discord for direct connect info and any required mods.
Are there rules on the servers? +
Just the basics: don't be a jerk, no cheating, no griefing teammates. We're here to have fun together. Full rules are pinned in our Discord if you want the details.

Technical Issues

I found a bug! How do I report it? +
Use our Bug Report form or post in the bug-reports channel on Discord. Include as much detail as possible - what happened, what you were doing, and how to reproduce it.
Why can't I connect to a server? +
Common causes:
  • Missing the required map DLC
  • Game version mismatch (make sure you're updated)
  • Server might be restarting (try again in a few minutes)
  • Check Discord for any announced maintenance
If you're still stuck, ask in Discord and we'll help troubleshoot.
