Well sorry, I was going to start with basics. But as an IT guy myself, I was trying to grab the attention of those who may know if my setup may be the problem or not. So that's why I didn't setup a generic troubleshoot "help me" type scenario. Sorry for that.
I can ping internally cause it's on the same network, so that works fine.
If I ping it from like work, I get a response of all 4 packets 2-3 ms each.
Windows 11 Pro is actually running the server. Works just about the same as if I ran Server 2019 or Server 2016.
Permissions issues shouldn't be it. I run another game off this server already and it's setup the same way. Just open ports and port forwarding and done. Just not liking it with DayZ for some reason.
I've added the beta files for it as well, that changed nothing.
I have found out that DayZ needs the normal port, query, BattlEye, and RCON ports all opened up. I have set them all to the defaults it already sets them at and have opened them and did the port forwarding on the network as well.
I've uninstalled ALL files and even scrubbed it out of Registry. Reinstalling went smoothly, reopened the ports same way and still get the issue.
