"No message recieved"

Recommended Posts

So I bought the game a while ago, but at the time had a very bad isp (Internet Service Provider) and was in the process of changing it. Once I got my new one and things were running more smoothly, I was able to get in almost any server without trouble, until recently. Just a couple of days ago I began getting a message saying "No message recieved", followed by me loosing connection and being kicked. I tried everything from portforwarding to being very specific when I picked my server, but it didn't work.

I then completley uninstalled Arma 2 and DayZ, then re-installed it. This worked for a while and I was able to join servers and play normally, but a few hours later the whole issue stared again, and I don't really feel like uninstalling and re-installing again, although if that becomes my only option then I would resort to doing it each time.

If anyone can offer a solution it would be much appreciated, thanks.

It's got nothing to do with your installation as far as i know.

I would suggest changing your ISP, but you've already done that. At least get a test on your phone line by an engineer. You may have a bad line/weak signal.

This can cause "drop outs". I know this as it's happened to me. I got BT to test the line and it was faulty.

You can also ask them to turn the gain up, which i believe boosts the "signal strength" of the line...but i'm no engineer...so not 100% sure.

Note...if they test it and find no fault...they MAY charge you!

Unfortunatley that would be too expensive as I just changed ISP's a few days ago, so if thats the issue, I'm just gonna have to accept not being able to play :(

I would atleast phone BT or whoever your line is with.

Complain, tell them you've changed ISP and your connection still drops out.

You have nothing to lose by atleast mentioning this to your phone line provider.

It's even possible it could be your microfilter or your cable to the modem from the wall.

Try a different microfilter and cable too if you can. Also if you run a long telephone extension cable...this can cause drop outs too. Or so i've read.
