Can barely connect to any servers. Vilayer especially.

[voxframe 31]

I'm assuming this is a widespread issue?

 

The only "relaible" servers I seem to be able to connect to are the Gameservers.com ones. The rest either give me "Waiting for host" and never go anywhere, or as in the case of Vilayer servers, they give me errors about PBO files not being signed properly.

 

I don't mess with any of the core files of my game and play on a completely "vanilla" install.

I don't cheat, I've never been booted/banned to my knowledge. I don't get any form of errors asides from those (Which come exclusively from vilayer, no others).

 

Am I the only one? Suggestions? Perhaps a complete re-install of the game?

 

Thanks!

On Steam try to verify your Game integrity.

[voxframe 31]

Just tried that (I didn't get anything reported back to me after doing the verify, so I'm assiming it didn't find anything out of the ordinary)

 

Still getting same issue.

 

(Good idea though!)

Default advice would be to ensure DayZ is set to administrator (right-click / properties / compatibility / always run as admin) / put the exception for DayZ & Battleeye.dll in your firewall / if that fails set your firewall to gamemode / disable your firewall altogether / uninstall your firewall if all prior fails and try again. Odds are it's a firewall issue entirely blocking your ability to connect to certain servers at least that's the most likely thing I can think of that'd 100% keep you out. Some have said certain routers do similar, but you'd have to do some google searching to find out exactly what advice they gave to setting your router up for DayZ & then apply it to your particular one. While far less likely, it'd be worth it to do the same process with your antivirus just 'incase' something is being blocked by it.

 

Weird as it is don't overlook the firewall though, I disabled mine and still encountered issues - but setting it into game mode fixed the issues; have heard from some friends they had to uninstall their firewall entirely and issues resolved' while just setting exceptions did nothing and most of us are rather knowledgeable with tech, so I don't have any doubts they did the firewall exceptions properly.

 

* also, the Vilayer thing.. I don't have a clue, I have the exact same issue and have just chosen to avoid that particular provider altogether.

right click dayz, go to betas and make sure you are not in experimental, i thin they have the same build at the moment so have been known to be causing some issues.

[voxframe 31]

Nope not in experimental either. The problem seems to have gotten slightly better last night for what ever reason. I was finally able to connect to a couple Vilayer ones.

 

Still no go for the majority of non-gameservers.com.

Fragnet as well seems to be boned for me.

 

Ahh well. Was a good night of gaming last night!
