Lately, I have tried to play DayZ, but I cannot play because the moment I select a server from the server list and play, my modem become overloaded from pinging all of the servers on the server list. Thus my internet goes down for every device in the house for about 5 minutes. I have tried setting max pings per minute in Steam Settings lower to 1000, but that changed nothing. I have never had this issue in DayZ on previous versions. This issue does not happen for any other steam game with a server browser.

Am able to play if I just hit the play button but do not load the server browser. This is still unacceptable because I don't like playing on the same empty server all the time.
I have also experienced this issue using the DayZ Commander client for playing DayZ mod. I know you guys don't own that anymore, but just providing information in case it helps.
