Odd port numbers in exp DayZprofile file

Latest exp patch as of Dec 11

I noticed when checking my settings.dayzprofile file, that for some reason, the port numbers for the servers have 9 digits.

For example:

lastMPServer="23.94.1.97:163971072";
lastMPServerName="DayZ US Southcentral 1-1 (Experimental/Unstable)";

As far as I can tell, that IP/port number should be 23.94.1.97:2502

This has happened repeatedly today, different servers, also after restarting the client, and restarting the PC. I was also was discussing this today on CallMeRive's stream on twitch, and he too noticed this very odd port value.

As this may be part of the issues with the server browser issues, or the unreliability of the main menu "Play" button that connects you to your last server, I flagged this as Severity: Major

I just confirmed that the port numbers are being saved as a 32-bit integer rather than a 16-bit integer. For example:

lastMPServer="173.192.141.107:190185472";
lastMPServerName="DayZ US Southcentral 0-6 (Experimental/Unstable)";

2902 is the correct 16-bit port number, and the 32-bit version of that number is 190185472

So unless the client is translating that port number back before it tries to use it, you're going to have problems

@Geez hi :)
