I understand this is a common problem; can't find solution. Wait for Host screen: DayZero

[wellsie514 0]

Stuck on wait For host screen for ever. 

Tried the following:

Reinstalled arma 2 and arma 2 oa

reinstalled latest arma oa patch

reinstalled dayzero

clear mpcashe folder

reinstalled battleye, It updates, restarts, and continues as it should

for giggles I restarted my computer
 

Launching through DayZ Commander and Play With Six and steam (with path sent to dayzero + beta patch)

 

I've also tried manually installing

 

 

 

 

 

Honestly, I've been browsing for days and troubleshooting for hours on end is getting old.  I heard DayZero is worth it though! Hehe

 

Any ideas?  Any help is appreciated!

 

 

 

 

Also worth noting:  DayZero admins are clueless.  No response from their forums and their webchat support is next to useless.  They get an A for effort though.

Assuming u are using the right version of DayZero as well as the right version of the beta-patch as well, It could easily have to do with the server issues this weekend. DayZero servers are being attacked. Also any and all launchparametres should be kept in steam.

 

If you followed the detailed instructions on installing and whitelisting, there is still the odd router which do not speak Arma, Try the BI forums for similar issues. Dwarden has written  som posts on the issue.

How long are you waiting? I have seen problems like this in the past (not with DayZero) where peoples "forever" is 30 seconds. Before you join make sure the server is fully up and running (i.e. not restarting) and then launch. When you get the waiting for host screen, go get a drink, take a piss, get a snack, let the dog out, etc, etc. Just give it up to 5 minutes. If you're still stuck relaunch the game and try again.

 

If you're still having problems, then I don't know, I guess DayZero dungoofed.

I randomly get stuck on blackscreen when loading in sometimes. DayZero seems to be a bit buggy when it comes getting in.

I've eaten dinner and showered and came back to it still waiting for host.  I'd imagine that would be about 1 1/2 hours.

Not sure I'm following you.  I've been across many forums on my little journey to finding a solution.  Could you link me by chance?

The "easy" way is to just play/activate/deactivate through OA, making sure that the normal DayZ is not involved.

ie use the in-game modhandler.

If u have a version other than steam, the make a separate shortcut on the desktop with the parametres relating to DayZero.

You may already know this, but I am unsure how much u know.

About what you mentioned earlier, my mates get in just fine.  Also I looked around a bit for the router that was mentioned, didn't find anything.

 

I am relatively certain startup parameters are correct.  I have no reason to believe otherwise (Despite the problem persisting)

DayZero requires you be whitelisted and have the password for the servers.

Any servers without them requirements are unofficial and most likely why you have issues.

I'm whitelisted.
