Hi all, noobie here
I just purchased this game and I've spent a good few hours troubleshooting. I'm currently at the 115 minute mark, 5 minutes before I can no longer refund.
ISSUE: I'm from Australia, but I can't connect to any local Australian servers (Connecting Failed). International servers in the US work fine.

TRIED:
Googling the issue
Checked that server is not full (most Australian servers are extremely low populated, so it can't be congestion)
Spammed connect dozens of times consecutively
Re-downloading the entire game
Opt-in experimental mode, and revert back to stable
Confirmed correct game version, matching server version
Changed to Google's open DNS 8.8.8.8 and flushed
Failed tracerts to local server (not completing trace)
Not relevant, but tried forwarding ports to the relevant servers on my router.
I don't run any firewalls or antivirus
Running the 32bit version via executable
Running all executables in admin mode
Manually starting battleEye service prior to launching game
Short of changing ISPs, I'm literally all out of ideas. It sounds like an ISP routing issue? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. My brain is fried, i just wanna play some DayZ :( I'm running out of troubleshooting time. As I mentioned earlier, I have 5 minutes left before I can no longer refund the game
