Persason 15 Posted July 31, 2012 When I press join server it takes about 5-10 minutes until I can actually play my screen is just stuck on loading am I the only one? You should in no game have to wait that long.How long do you have to wait?I5 2500kGTX 5708 gigs DDR3I presume its a serverside issue, however the game has not been like this before this happened after 1.7.2 as I recall.

bahhh 83 Posted July 31, 2012 It mosly depends on the server.Some server seems to take just a second.Some take like 30~60 seconds.And some are Infinite-loading.And i have way more shittier computer than you :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sticker704 121 Posted July 31, 2012 A minute to 50 minutes. Not long and I have a crappy computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hinaru 96 Posted July 31, 2012 50 minutes? lolThat sucks.Mostly it takes around one or two minutes for me. Sometimes more, sometimes less than that time. (: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barrwg 5 Posted July 31, 2012 5-10 minute ain't that bad, though with them specs its probably the server or try one of the DayZ optimization threads like this one: dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/28160-guide-how-to-set-up-your-graphics-properly/I haven't tried it myself but my friends game in general has sped up, quicker server joins and easy 10fps increase and better stability, though again I doubt the fps and stability are too much of a problem for you.

Falcorn (DayZ) 21 Posted July 31, 2012 sometimes It's 1 min, sometimes it's 5, and a lot of the time it seems to get stuck. altough I've noticed when I try to connect to some servers while I'm tabbed out browsing ze webs my net seems to die and that might have something to do with it..

ken@thekab.com 37 Posted July 31, 2012 Maybe 30 seconds. Play on a server that's not crap.I play on US345. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Persason 15 Posted July 31, 2012 Maybe 30 seconds. Play on a server that's not crap.I play on US345.Lol you make it sound as if I have only tried 1 server. I have tried alot all of them with the same result. Ill try the US ones but as I live in EU it might not be that great ping wise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ken@thekab.com 37 Posted July 31, 2012 In my experience the vast majority of the servers are crap. Maybe 1 in 5 has a decent connection time. The hardware and connection need to be good and the server needs to be restarted at decent intervals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kebman 213 Posted July 31, 2012 A few minutes at most. If it just keeps loading, I restart the game. The PC I use is monster-fast, so I expect efficiency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michaelvoodoo25 3120 Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) From clicking my DayZ commander icon 10 sec, choosing a server to server screen 30 secs, into game (playable) 1 min 10 sec. total time = 1 min 50 sec. My PC is a 4 yo pile of crap. Edited July 31, 2012 by Michaelvoodoo25 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Momiji 46 Posted July 31, 2012 1-10 minutes usually, if it takes more than 10 i close the game and try another server.I'd be fine with it taking awhile, if my character wasn't standing in game able to be killed even if i log out in the middle of nowhere.
