Check out this thread http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/181074-waiting-for-host-session-lost-lag-and-desync-since-last-patch/ There will be an update later today which will fix this issue.
Hey! My DayZ SA has been working fine since I bought it in December. However since the latest patch update (yesterday) I'm having issues connecting to servers. More often than not I simply get stuck on "waiting for host". Whenever I manage to log on and start playing on a server it works fine until I decide to topen my inventory, after I open my inventory I'm disconnected. I'm still on the server for a minute until "Session lost" shows up however I can't move around anything in my inventory, change items or in any way interact with the server. Sometimes when logging on I get this message "Confirmation of Changes Cannot load material file dz\weapons\ammunition\data\9mm_25roundbox_damage.rvmat." So my guess is that there is an issue with the "9mm_25roundbox" that causes my client to force disconnect for unkown reasons. Hope the issue gets solved and I can get back to playing soon! PS: I did troubleshoot my Dayz files, manually update battle-eye and reinstall. I searched the issue and it seems there are many players out there suffering the same issue as me after the patch although I can't be 100% sure they're also suffering from the 9mm_25roundbox issue.
I'm having the same issue with the exception that I Can't play at all. Most servers I'm stuck at waiting for host but once I manage to log on to a server the game freezes up after I open my inventory. Sometimes when logging in it states confirmation of changes to the ammo for SKS, missing file or something. I've checked DayZ files but still no change. Oh and this all started after the last patch update; prior to that patch I never had any issues with login on or disconnects at all.
