Getting the same problem. It all started after the most recent update. I hit play button, it brings me to the DayZ loading screen, then blackness, then the game crashes -- every time -- without fail.

Lol, kg360, I know this is an alpha. Like Gugolas said, I was just asking if anyone else has experienced this bug, and venting my frustration at how this guy got all my loot when it should have been the other way around, not my frustration at the game itself. Thanks for the advice Isamu7, I'll try that out!

Me and a guy were trying to kill each other for ten minutes. I was prone on the hospital roof and caught him walking up the ladder. All I had to do was stand up and shoot him and he was dead. Rather than standing up, my character randomly rolled to the right, off the roof (even though the hospital roof has a small wall the would make it impossible to roll off) and died. My hours worth of gear is lost to a bug. Anyone else have this randomly rolling while prone problem?

Yep, that fixed it. This should be stickied. I'm sure a lot of other people are having this same problem and it's not exactly an obvious fix.

I lied. The fix worked for the night. But the next day we both tried logging into the same server and same issue appeared. Have yet to find a permanent fix. Any suggestions?

Solved the problem. It wasn't a networking issue at all. When I downloaded DayZ on my brother's computer it was through my steam account. Even though he later bought DayZ on his steam account and would play through his steam account the server must have thought that two of the same people were playing. Either way, when he uninstalled DayZ and downloaded through his account, everything worked fine.

Cool, I'll definitely give that a try. Do you know what changes I would have to make?

or perhaps resetting the router.

I checked our IP's and they're both different. Do you think manually configuring our IP adresses would help?

We have good connection speed. Cable. We've never had a problem gaming on the same servers before with other games. 18.25mb/s download and 7mb/s upload.

To provide more detail: We both have different IP addresses but the same default gateway (obviously). We both can enter a server perfectly fine. As soon as one or the other enters the same server, the one who is currently in the server gets "no message receiver for x seconds" and the one logging into the server gets stuck at "waiting for host" and both of us are forced to leave. In essence, we both can't connect to the same server without both of us getting kicked.

My brother and I, who are in the same house on running through the same router, can't connect to the same server on DayZ without both of us getting kicked. Anyone else have this issue? And / or is there a fix for it?
