Help on receiving data

Recommended Posts

Well, today i got DayZ with my bud. Everything was going fine until I had this problem.

The game goes well with just me and him sneaking around but sometimes when we get spotted by zombies and decide to leg it, halfway through the chase my screen would turn pitch black with a blinking receiving message. He wouldnt have any problems and would still be running while i was "apparently" standing there AFK.

I dont know whether this is my internet connection or ping as I have lower ping than my friend. If I need to do my firewall settings or open ports, you probably have to guide me :P. If there is a quick fix, im sorry i didnt find it first but please help me with this issue.

I dont think its your internet connection or firewall..I have played Arma2 and ArmaOA since they was released and have never seen this problem before. I´m very sure its a DayZ problem. Or at least it has something to do with one of the Arma2 small patches that has been released for DayZ...OR DayZ itself.... Got same problem...but mostly after perhaps 15minutes ingame.. But in my screen I can at least see small blurry white spots on the side when it goes black...the thing you have in arma that tells you that there is people close by..

Got this problem as well... it seems to occure in random intervalls to me now. I tried lowering everything and could play for some time (20mins or so) then I tried increasing certain categories in the video options... Could play on max setting for another 20 mins then "RECEIVING..."

This message occures to me now every 30-40 minutes or so but faster when my blood is low and the screen turns grey...

Really is no fun playing like this and I just spent 25€ on this.... I knew there were bugs but I thought it would be playable at least
