Why i can't play dayz

Recommended Posts

My internet works on Arma 3 100 man games with a lot of mods.... nuff said.

why%20i%20cant%20play%20dayz_zpswijkklaq

 

BTW, my interner speed is 4mb/s. I can only play when it suits the game as I learned from studying this phenomena. 

 

This is GAME-BREAKING for me... I literally cannot play, and haven't been able to since last september.

Is your  ping sometimes ok on dayz? Is it sometimes crap on arma 3 too?  If it is, either someone is sucking up all your bandwidth or the network in your area is overloaded and getting bogged down.  That or your playing on a wireless connection and running into interference.  This is something to call your internet provider about, not sure what we on the forums can help with.

Like others have said, I think this is a problem on your side, not DayZ's.

Also, you might try running some bandwidth tests to make sure you are actually getting what you pay for from your ISP. I used to have that problem a couple of years ago. My ISP sold me 6mbps but I usually got less than 2. It made playing online impossible during hours of peak usage.

Holy first world problems...

 

If someone in my house is watching netfix I play with a 4 digit ping.

OMFG. 4 digit ping would make it literally impossible to play 95% of the games on the market. I can't....I just.....What the actual fuck? I know Canada isn't exactly cutting edge metropolis across the entire nation (and neither is the US for that matter) but....damn. That's more than an entire second of lag.

Wrong side of the highway, lol.

 

The other day I did notice my dish looked cocked like it got hit by a branch in a windstorm just waiting to pay my ridiculous bill down a bit before I call them to come out and look at it, I pay $170 a month for this shit. 

 

I play at 600+ ping most days or under 200 on my cell but the brutally inefficient netcode right now eats my 2gig of cell data in 20 hours, considering I play 100hrs a month that sucks.

I think you're actually right... all of those timings fit in with my sis watching netflix. After all this time, i can't believe old netty would betray me like this.

Thanks man, but now i realize that i can almost never play because shes alway watching it. :(
