Session Lost

Recommended Posts

I have an issue where i get kicked "Session Lost" then a message that says "Files dta\bin.pbo etc...are not signed by a key accepted by this server. To play on this server, remove listed files or install additional accepted keys.

 

I played for about 15min last night no issues, now I get on this morning and I have this problem?

 

Anyone know how to solve this. I have not messed with anyfiles what so ever. Not sure why I have this message.

 

Thanks

Hey,

 

I did that, and it was a no go. Still the same message. I am now deleting the game and reinstalling. Hopefully that will work. If not, I am not sure what to do.

I've been having the same problem for a week before the patch and the patch didn't fix it either.  Perhaps I should try a re-install.

Well shoot.  Reinstall worked for exactly one session and ofc I was lazy and testing and didn't have my usb headphones plugged in so I restarted the game so they would work and now it is back to session lost.  Were you able to play multiple sessions?

Yes until today, and then it happened again. I just joined a server immediately afterwards and I was able to get in. Must be server side.

This recently became an issue for me as well - out of nowhere really.  I have had decent luck at getting DayZ to run, and have only standard desync issues that everyone has occasionally.  Now, every server I join - full, empty, west coast, central, east coast - they all give me "Session Lost" and return me to the server browser 2-3 minutes after loading in.  No changes were made to my system or settings before this started happening to me.

 

Things I have done:

  • Verified the integrity of my steam files (3 times, trying to run the game and join servers after each time).
  • Deleted all local content and reinstalled the game.  Tried several different servers in different regions of the US, both empty and full.  Different providers as well.
  • Made sure graphics, sound drivers are up to date.
  • Ran multiple tracert and 3dtracert to west coast, east coast, and chicago servers.  No packet loss, stable ping, standard numbers of hops.
  • I have tried deleting my C:\Users\Name\My Documents\DayZ\ Config and settings files.  They are recreated after I launch the game, but even with new files (and losing keybinds and graphics settings) I am still stuck with Session Lost.
  • Waited 7+ hours to give any passing issues a chance to resolve if by chance it was server side.

 

Things I have noticed:

  • My client is communicating with the servers - I can load in, view my inventory, and stay connected to a server for about 3 minutes.  During that time the game acts as if I'm desynced.  However, I have none going on.  If I drop an item on the floor, nothing seems to happen immediately until I get kicked from "session lost".  If I log back in, I find that the item is indeed on the floor and out of my inventory.  Same for opening/closing doors.  Same as well for running any place.  If I run to another location, lose my session and log back in, I load in to the place where I ended up, rather than rubber banding back to my original location.
  • I can see other players in the server in player list.  So I am also getting that information from the servers.
  • Weather comes and goes normally during the 3 minute window I am on before lost session.
  • The game seems to function completely normally, my client is just unable to maintain stable communication with any server and I know it's not the internet connection.

I definitely understand this game is alpha - I'm just confused how this came about since no updates were posted, I was able to play successfully for over an hour after maintenance, and I made no changes to my system or settings and up to this point I've been able to play with no lasting issues.  If anyone has any fixes I could try that I did not already, I'd appreciate some input.
