Evenger14 0 Posted November 15, 2012 Not only does it take a long time to join a server when it actually works, but then you get the servers that just lock up on the loading screen all the time. I spent 40 minutes trying to find a server that A. didn't lock up on me B. Didn't kick me C. That my friend in the UK could also join. Needless to say we didn't get to play because we couldn't get into any server. This is insane... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

enforcer1975 1111 Posted November 15, 2012 Get DayZ commander. All of your problems will be solved. :)Doesn't make a difference. Either it's the server bugged or the hive too slow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inception. 9443 Posted November 15, 2012 Are you joining servers that are within your region and/or do not have a ping limit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted November 15, 2012 It shouldn't take you more than 30 seconds to join. Check your ping and try some different servers. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris529 380 Posted November 15, 2012 doesn't really matter for me, I only join servers with good ping from 10-50. I either find a good looking server and get bad version crap, get frozen at a loading screen (or it takes 10 mins but not waiting that long, so never find out if it works or is 100% frozen). Though usually I can join servers ok but then my friends wanna play and bam bad version even though we all using dayz commander with same up-to-date versions.

Derpy_Hooves (DayZ) 4521 Posted November 15, 2012 Alpha and modWell yeah and No, Being it a Mod and in Alpha really has nothing to do with servers being slow as hell, Sometimes it happens when i play ARMA online, just depends how nice the internet wants to play!!

leettari (DayZ) 133 Posted November 16, 2012 On our private hive it takes from our players 15-30 seconds to connect completely.There are 'exception servers', sure, but I'd check your internet connections, firewalls, pings and servers you try to join first.

Evenger14 0 Posted November 16, 2012 Get DayZ commander. All of your problems will be solved. :)I have it, still takes at least a minute for me to get in game when it works.Are you joining servers that are within your region and/or do not have a ping limit?In my region yes, how do I know if they have a ping limit?It shouldn't take you more than 30 seconds to join. Check your ping and try some different servers.My ping sucks, and I understand the need for ping limits. As to the trying different servers, I have before. Normally it takes me 20 minutes if not half an hour to actually get into a server that will let me connect and stay in. That's not an exageration ether.

porkus_maximus 36 Posted November 16, 2012 Load times increase on highly populated servers and/or servers that do not get reset regularly but since you admit your connection is shit and you encounter this problem on almost every server I think we can conclude that your problem is not the server joining process. On a well maintained server I can get into the game in 30-60 seconds, high populated/badly maintained servers can take 5+ minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
