donakowski1@gmail.com 41 Posted November 2, 2014 I've done a few searches through the forums, but haven't found any recent threads about this issue I am having. Whenever I launch DayZ and attempt to login to a server my internet suddenly crashes. I lose internet connection completely. The second I close, or even minimize DayZ, the internet pops back up and runs normally. This started happening this morning for some reason. Any specific cause for this? Solutions maybe? Thank you!

AmberHelios 2071 Posted November 2, 2014 Hello Preston This is actually a known issue for server browsers for some people, It's because when you refresh server lists it has to contact all these servers and find information about them. That includes ping, server name etc. The issue is, (Simply explained) most consumer routers can become overwhelmed by this, it knocks the internet out for everyone in the house until the router has caught up to speed. The fix is to go onto steam and press the Steam Tab>Settings>In-Game>In-Game server browser: Max pings / minute> and experiment with different amounts, If this does not fix it, another setting worth trying is going into your Router Configuration settings (For most people, typing 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 into their browsers will open it - The default login is printed on the router) and disabling any firewall or settings to do with DDOS protection/packet flood protection/IP Flood Detection/ICMP Flooding detection in your router or turn down the firewall setting to a less strict rule, if you are running DayZ with NON-ADMIN privileges, you will have limited amount of packet output from windows firewall, and this can jam the internet connection too. (Run dayz as admin) another reason could be that your isp dns severs are a bit fubared try changing to google/opendns servers I hope this helps Iago 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
