rosebud 35 Posted April 13, 2014 What is it with this game? I log on to Steam and then DAYZ. I look for a server and get on no problem. Then I get kicked an hour into the session. Ok…fine…I look for a new server and the screen doesn’t populate. I wait, how long should I wait? A minute? Ten? Two hours? So I log off and re-log on…same problem. So I log off and restart my computer. Now the screen populates but every server I try kicks me out and asks me to restart. So I log off and try again, same story, then I restart windows again, ahhh now I’m back and playing. The hoops that I must jump through to play this game are insane and counter to customer satisfaction. No other game that I play has these problems. Don’t begin to defend this with “It’s alfa” that is BS, people logging on to your game is square 1. This server set up is not an asset; it is a detriment and needs to change. I should have no problem logging on 19 out of 20 times anything else is not acceptable to me and should not be acceptable the players or most importantly to the makers of this game. FIX IT. I know I should post it in bugs and I know its already there. It needs to be stated again and again until it is fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DedicateDdos 50 Posted April 13, 2014 I'm not sure what needs fixing exactly? What's your ping? Have you set the search parameters for servers correctly? I've had zero issues launching and searching and logging into servers, neither have my friends. The only time I know of was when they introduced the latest patch and they had hive issues but other than that... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only time I know of was when they introduced the latest patch and they had hive issues but other than that...I am operating through windows 8 but my other computer is windows 7 and it has the same problems. Both are top notch (tower and laptop) Ping is fine and well within playable limits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blissandpanic 92 Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) That can be annoying but did you try these: - don't wait for server but push "refresh" every time you are in the server list. - check your ping for something below 70 (if you are you are getting crazy ping for most like 500+, then it could be your network-someone downloading a huge file or streaming vids) - verify you cache in steam -oh yea, set your video settings to default and see..(helped a friend once) Edited April 13, 2014 by BlissAndPanic 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NagsterTheGangster 388 Posted April 13, 2014 I used to get this issue back when I had shotty internet. Normally restarting my router and/or refreshing the list constantly would eventually work for me. But if you say your ping is okay maybe the issue is one of the above stated ^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irl-calibre 744 Posted April 13, 2014 Do you have multiple containers on you by any chance? hey does this make a difference? i'm forever " waiting on host " and I have like 8 Pelican cases some with ammo boxes in them on one character and seven on the other, does it make a difference to actually getting on the server? I've been wondering why servers that have been sold for me for months now seem to be a problem to join. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it can make quite the difference up to a point where your character can possibly crash the server if you've got containers inside containers. It's currently being worked on, though.
