Hello Frenior,

I can see that a couple of your characters have plenty of gear on them. Can you confirm if you still have the problem with the "waiting for host" message?

Thanks,
JStewart

Now i can play dayz.
but,I can't play many times with unable to connect to the server.
I check firewall,modem,cliantfile,cfg file,and more.

thankyou for checking JStewart.
And sorry for this problem.

I double checked, and all is well with your account, so unfortunately, this is something that we cannot fix from our end. Something is disrupting your conenction in one way or another.

For this reason, please refer to the network troubleshooting guide below:
Perform a connection test on each device connected to the network. For reference, here is a list of platform-specific troubleshooting guides:

Port Forwarding:
The following Ports need to be open on your router to connect to the online servers:
TCP 80, UDP 88, UDP 2302, UDP 2314, UDP 2326, 2338

If you need assistance with opening these ports, please refer to the following website for more information (you will need to know your router brand and model, as the website guides are based on specific routers)

Here are some additional tips that have helped many players improve their connectivity:

  1. Make sure your router's firmware is upgraded the latest version (very important).
  2. Unplug your router for 10 minutes and plug it back in. Some older routers degrade in performance over time until it is rebooted, similar to a PC.
  3. Disable any firewall or other network filtering for the game.
  4. Enable uPnP (universal plug and play) on your router.
  5. If you don't care about security, enable DMZ (de-militarized zone) on your router for your PC's address. This turns off all of your router's firewall features for that specific PC.
  6. Run 'cmd' in administrative mode and use command ipconfig /flushdns
  7. Contact your ISP and ask them what your DNS setting should be.

Direct Connection:
If you are still having issues connecting to the online servers after trying the above steps, try connecting your broadband modem directly to the console or PC you are playing the game on. This can help determine if the issue is related directly to the router or another source.

Also, please make sure that you don't have any programs running in the background that might eat up a lot of bandwidth for example.

Regards,
JStewart
