petite 3 Posted September 15, 2014 DayZ Overpoch, a mod adding many features of DayZ Overwatch to DayZ Epoch, has become very popular recently. But running a couple servers myself (DayZ Extermination), I can't help but notice the vast majority of attempts to connect to our Overpoch server end in failure (disconnect) not even time to get in the lobby and its like that for lots OverPoch servers. Its hard to know what's causing the issues. With the collapse of Gamespy (the company previously used to keep track of the servers) there were updates to Arma2 and Battleye. And the DayZ community its self seems to lack any real structure...consisting mainly of hard to search forum posts. With that in mind I thought it would be a good idea to add yet another post about connecting to overpoch. ARMA2 and its DLC: (you can usually skip this If you use dayz commander or dayz launcher) ================ First things first, you have to make sure Arma2 and its DLC (DownLoadable Content like Arma2:Operation Arrowhead...) are installed properly. Updates are now through steam. If you had a non-steam version, you may or may not be able to convert it. More on that here... http://dayzlauncher.com OR DayZ Commander from here http://www.dayzcommander.com (the REAL download link is at the bottom of the page) DayZ Launcher:(highly recommended much better and easy to use) Once you have DayZ Launcher installed, click MODS (top left). It will display a list of DayZ mods. Download Overwatch and Epoch. I'd suggest you verify the downloads. DayZ Commander: Once you have DayZ Commander installed, click INSTALL/UPDATE (top right) and Download Overwatch/Epoch from there. In the setting add that additional launch parameter -mod=@DayZOverwatch As with DayZ Launcher, I'd suggest you verify the files. We saw so many players in 2 months trying joining OverPoch servers but get kicked just before getting in the lobby for error...... And post on the different forum is just not clear for most of them, you have here a good explanation which helped lots players we know to enjoy the Mod. If you need a server that provide you challenge and fun we have that. You can find us 64.31.15.98:2502 Chernarus Epoch No PVP 64.31.39.122:2602 Napf Epoch No PVP Fully Militarised64.31.39.122:2802 Chernarus OverPoch No PVP Don't think because its No PVP you wont have challenge. If you have trouble joining the OverPoch server, send me a message (Petite) on our website http://theextermination.enjin.com/home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baker. 1484 Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) Morning friend. These kinds of posts are usually frowned upon (as far as i can see) on these particular forums. Due partly to the fact this place has nothing to do with overpoch and mostly due to the fact that people keep posting them in the Day-PC (think Standalone) sub-forum. Just FYI I guess.
