Since update been having major lag issues

[Masok88 0]

I started up six launcher on Monday after getting back from work and had organised a session with a guy I'd bumped into and gotten to trust Day Z. It was running an update and we were chatting on skype whilst I loaded up, I noticed quickly though that my game was taking ages to login to a server compare to this guy. I'd often get hung on 'Receiving Data 0/41kb' screen but the two times I did manage to get in I was on a server for 5-10 mins before being kicked by Battleeye because of my ping (most of the servers I tried had under 100 for me).

Even when in game we had a situation where we aggroed some zombies and I couldn't see my buddy, I could only see the zombies chasing him, which made me really hesitant to shoot them as I didn't want to clip my buddy running about all invisible. I also tried filling my canteen and couldn't do this for ages.

I was on skype with him for over an hour and probably had a total playtime of 5-10 mins. I love the mod but this makes it unplayable really. Namely because I can't commit to playing with any of the people I've made contacts as I don't want to impinge on there experience/endanger them.

Any ideas? I went over to play Tribes 2 last night after trying unsuccessfully to join 3 Day Z servers, I can play other games like TF2 without an issue either. Help! I prefer Day Z to both those games! This has only happened since I did the update on Six Launcher on Monday.

Hi,

Try playing on a server that has worked for you in the past.

Download the 1.7.2.1 test add-on and join SE 3. See if it works better for you -- if it does, it's a problem with 1.7.2.

The server SE 3? Should I download it from the Day Z homepage?

I had massive lag issues aswell but as far as i can see it was caused by the new patch coming out, massive amount of people checking it out and causing a rather large impact on the hive. This morning when i logged in DayZ was running as smooth as normal. ( and i spawned next to a heli \o/ )

I have approximately tripple latency for all servers I try to join atm, AUS / NZ servers are usually 70-100 ping for me (this 70-100 ping is shown in server browser) but when I get into the game my ping hits about 300. I will try installing the test patch.
