So I recently upgraded to Windows 8 Saturday, the 27th of October. I launch DayZ with DayZ Commander and have been getting some really weird connection issues since I upgraded. I normally play on DayZ Lingor and the game worked perfectly before I upgraded my OS. I can get to the player list screen inside DayZ Lingor, but as soon as I log in to the server and everything starts to load, I'll get the yellow chain link in the lower right for about 4 seconds, then the red chain with a message saying," no message recieved for x seconds" like when the server restarts and then the game will display "Connection Lost with Host." I have tried multiple DayZ servers in Lingor and vanilla DayZ and have received the same issue time and time again. I'm not quite sure as to why DayZ is acting so funny after my upgrade, Anyone have any ideas on what might be the problem and how to fix it? NOTE: I am not here for opinions on Windows 8 nor do I care about them. Just looking for honest help.

Finally fixed my issue! I had read somewhere else on the Windows 8 forums that when upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8, the Anti Virus software could cause you not to connect to the internet, my guess is that the firewall was catching something within the internet connection. I just uninstalled and re-installedmy AVG 2013 and joined a DayZ server. No connection drop like I had been experiencing for the last couple of days. Haven't tested it with any of my other games that have been experiencing it but it sure seems to have done the trick! Hope this helps anyone having the same problem! :D

I'm getting the same Desync issue. However, I upgraded to Windows 8 this past Saturday, the 27th. All DayZ files, maps, and ARMA files are up to date. Could play perfectly fine before the upgrade with no desync issues. After installing Windows 8, I'll connect to a server and during the "Loading..." and "Receiving" screens, I'll get the desync chains and be kicked because I've lost connection with the host. :( Found a one time fix with disabling UAC on Dayz Commander, but nothing permanent.

Well...kind of worked... I was able to load the game without any problems. Then about 30 seconds into the game, the same thing happened again and now it is back to the same issue.

This seems to have done the trick. Beans to you sir. Thanks!

Bean worthy sir. Thanks for the laughs! :)

If you're looking at a laptop, I play DayZ on Very High smoothly on this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834215410 Had this laptop for about a month and I love it. It plays everything really well, especially Arma II and DayZ.

I tend to try and avoid players. But I occasionally get those moods where I wanna go find some trouble. It usually doesn't end well for me though. If i find a player, I tend to just watch, kinda like a National Geographic documentary. :P But I will return fire if shot at.

I'm playing on an Acer V3-771G-9875. Plays everything on high really smooth. Wasn't too terribly expensive and plays most games very well. Specs: Intel i7-3610QM @ 2.3 Ghz 17.3" Screen 6 GB RAM nVidia Geforce GT 650M - 2 GB VRAM
