easiest way to join same server as friend?

[mjf6866 22]

ok, i had my buddy sign up on steam and download the game, so when i see he's online in steam and playing, i try to "join game" but it says the server isnt responding.  so i copied the ip address and launched DayZ and chose "remote" and added the server address in manually and it let me in.  am i missing something to do this easier?

 

thanks

You can click on your friend's name in your Steam friends list and then "join game" will take you directly to the server that he's playing in.

i did try that, but we get the message "server not responding"...

Very strange, that's never happened to me before...

 

There is another way anyway...

 

In the DayZ server browser there is a "Friends" tab where you can see all servers that your friends are playing in. I don't think it tells you who is playing where though, so you will have to verify with him that you're joining the correct server if you have multiple friends playing DayZ at the time.

No problem! Hope you have more luck with this method...
