u-alexandru 494311e8df fix: prevent stuck launch dialog when history file is missing
update_history_file() opened dzg.history in read mode without handling a
missing file. dzg.history is only created the first time it is written, so
on a fresh install the very first server connection raised FileNotFoundError
inside the post-launch cleanup callback:

  _destroy_on_idle -> _add_to_history_and_return -> update_history_file

The exception propagated out of the GLib idle callback before destroy_dialog()
ran, orphaning the "Waiting for DayZ to launch" modal so it could never be
closed from the UI and its Cancel button was unresponsive.

Treat a missing history file as an empty history so the first connection
records history normally instead of crashing the cleanup callback.

What this is

DZGUI is a turnkey browser and mod manager for DayZ on Linux. It allows you to connect to both official and modded/community DayZ servers on Linux via a graphical user interface (GUI).

This overcomes certain limitations in the Linux client and helps prepare the game to launch by providing features like:

  • Search for and display global and LAN servers via an interactive table
  • Supports official, third-party, and modded DayZ servers
  • Automatically find and prepare mods being requested by servers
  • Add/delete/manage favorite servers by IP or ID
  • Quick-connect to favorite/recent servers
  • Manage local mods and symlinks
  • Prepare launch options to pass to Steam

Setup and usage

Please refer to the documentation for installation and setup instructions:
