DayZ kills my network connection

[uberwolfe 25]

I have found lately that whenever I try to load a game, both through Six Launcher and Arma 2's built in server finder, my connection will randomly drop out for short periods of time.

This generally happens while I'm at a loading screen and the dropout causes the loading screen to just set there, "loading' forever.

I have to manually kill the Arma2 process before trying again..

The dropouts seem to be for a couple of seconds or less, not enough time for windows to even report the dropout but it kills DayZ.

This is not my connection, I have been using it for years and am a solid BF3 and MMO gamer and have never had any of these issues..

Any suggestions on what could be causing this, and how to fix it?

Thx

You router is likely being 'flooded' by server communication requests. This kind of problem is quite common when using a multiplayer server browser. Its a security 'feature' on the modem/router that thinks your system is under attack.

I'd do a Google search for such a problem in relation to your router/modem type. There are different ways to fix this depending on your hardware.

This is my guess... but worth looking into.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll look into my router settings
