Can't join any server? (Wait for host) or (battleye initiation failed)

Recommended Posts

So, I've been using DayZ launcher to find servers, since there isn't a download anymore for anything else. Used to have individual files, but they removed them I guess. (edit: Except having to use a torrent program for the individual files, I will never have one of those on my pc. So, I can only use the launcher)

So, yesterday I was able to play fine.

Now every server I join, I either get "Wait for host"...or I also keep getting "Battleye initiation failed"

Anyone else getting this? Or why do I keep getting that?

My brother has been having that problem. What’s really odd is that we both use the same internet connection. I’ll join a server with no problems but when he attempts to join in he has trouble. It will say "waiting on host" forever or it will say "battleye..." and kick him out. This will also happen to me every now and then when I attempt to join a server he’s playing on. But it rarely happens to me. Also when you look at the list of servers, his list will have servers that mines doesn't and vice-versa. Also the pings are different I’ll see a server listed with a 15 ping and on his computer it shows the same server with a 31/47 or higher ping. Any idea why it does that? I mean it’s the same internet connection…

I updated to the very latest beta patch and deleted the DayZ folder (and then installed it again). That fixed my problems.

Some servers that I play on, still get "Wait for host"...but it seems server related, since I can still join quite a few other servers.
