Local servers - Connecting failed

Recommended Posts

Hi all, noobie here

I just purchased this game and I've spent a good few hours troubleshooting. I'm currently at the 115 minute mark, 5 minutes before I can no longer refund.

ISSUE: I'm from Australia, but I can't connect to any local Australian servers (Connecting Failed). International servers in the US work fine.

Screenshot

TRIED:

  • Googling the issue
  • Checked that server is not full (most Australian servers are extremely low populated, so it can't be congestion) 
  • Spammed connect dozens of times consecutively
  • Re-downloading the entire game
  • Opt-in experimental mode, and revert back to stable
  • Confirmed correct game version, matching server version
  • Changed to Google's open DNS 8.8.8.8 and flushed
  • Failed tracerts to local server (not completing trace)
  • Not relevant, but tried forwarding ports to the relevant servers on my router. 
  • I don't run any firewalls or antivirus
  • Running the 32bit version via executable
  • Running all executables in admin mode
  • Manually starting battleEye service prior to launching game

Short of changing ISPs, I'm literally all out of ideas. It sounds like an ISP routing issue? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. My brain is fried, i just wanna play some DayZ :( I'm running out of troubleshooting time. As I mentioned earlier, I have 5 minutes left before I can no longer refund the game

Sounds like it, or maybe they are blocking certain ports? Could try to give your ISP a call and see what they say.

If you can't ping or trace route - this is def NOT DayZ fault -  look at your windows firewall

try traceroute to one of the DayZ servers you can reach  -  compare the firewall entries

remember UDP   !!

Try tracerout to servers one digit out from a DayZ IP  in the last two (then three) of the 4 groups, just at random.

Also traceroute to other non-DayZ online games in AU (look at the GSP gamer sites for addresses & ports)

- also you should be able to open any UDP or TCP ports you want to in your ISP box, but they still then have to go through windows firewall.

Make you sure you haven't blocked off any top level domains in your IP filter ( by mistake or  because of incoming porn or other crap ). 'Ensure' you aren't running hackware that has deliberately stopped you linking to something relevant.

If you don't use an antivirus, get SPYBOT & RUN a full check.. you are maybe being mal-directed to some dump in Rangoon that doesn't exist anymore

And, hell, try changing your DNS servers  <there are plenty free public  - Search  "Public DNS Servers list" to find a few for Australia, rotate them in your DNS list

If you've spent the entire 2 hours troubleshooting, I'd recommend just getting a refund and trying again later. (I don't have any suggestions either.)

Especially with the next major update making server hosting available to everyone for free, your chances of finding a proper server (or making your own) will go up.

According to dayzspy.com there is only one Australian public hive DayZ server that might be online currently (players = 0 this morning)

 Multiplay :: V3S Heaven

all the rest ( total 10?) are private hive except  1 Experimental

is that true?
