Absolutely Can Not Connect to Official Servers

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! New to the forums here! 

I'm having an issue that is driving me absolutely bonkers here 😵

I switched from Playstation 4 a while back and decided to drop about $1,500 USD onto a gaming pc to strictly play DayZ and WarThunder. When I was on console, I logged thousands of hours into DayZ with no issue at all. I got my PC set up and purchased DayZ again for Steam. So at this point I'm like $150USD just on purchasing DayZ as I also purchased the Livonia DLC for both platforms.

So I get everything installed and squared away and you would assume no issues right??? Nope......DayZ will not allow me to log into any official servers. The only ones that I am able to play that are related are servers on the official list that say they are hosted through multiplay.

When I click on a server, the screen will dim slightly for a second then go back to normal as if I never clicked the server. Then approximately 15-20 seconds later, I am met with "AuthPlayerLoginState" error message. 

Here are the steps that I have taken in attempt to correct the issue.
-Delete DayZ and re-install (Like 5 times)
-Verify game files/integrity through Steam
-Delete Steam and DayZ and re-install.
-Completely format HardDrive and windows, re-install windows, re-install steam, re-install DayZ (Twice).

My internet service is via mobile hotspot as that is the only form of internet here for approximately 35 miles. I'm located in South East Texas. I get about 3.0 MB/s Download speed which gives me no issues when playing any games or doing anything.

Please help me find my issue. It's outright embarrising that I have over $1,500.00 USD invested so far for a game that I cant even play.....

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Okay, so you can play on some servers but not others.   Chances are slim that you ever had to re-install anything.  Unfortunately, you may have issues playing on official servers.  If you ping over 300ms at any time you will get kicked.  This happens with mobile hotspots.

All hope is not lost!  You will be able to find a community server without this restriction.  Take advantage of mods now that you're no longer on console!

Ironically after some feedback from facebook groups, I've discovered that if I use a VPN that I am able to connect to servers now. But I am restricted to how much usage for a VPN. Any suggustions on a good one worth purchasing?
