Dayz Experimental on xbox will not connect to servers
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Hello, my xbox account gamertag is "okii inu ksa"
I have tried and tried, but I can NOT connect to any of the American servers, or other world wide servers. I keep getting the error: "connecting failed: an unknown error has occurred" on my xbox one s. Using a wired connection to my router.

I reset the cache, and cleared the MAC address as advised by Dominik via RT. I rebooted the xbox, modem, router, but the game still will not connect. I have reinstalled this game a half dozen times. The only BI forums advice is from 2014 for this specific issue. I have the game on a wire to the router and this should not be happening.

At this point, I want a full refund, because all I got in response from Dominik was "I will forward this to the developers" after he suggested I try clearing the MAC address. This original error report was from a secondary account to totofteamksa@yahoo.com, because I forgot I had made this account for my purchase of the game. That secondary account error report was BI-RT #218627, but it is a useless number for this primary account which is I purchased the game on. (My primary account is though xbox is using game pass membership for stevenkellams@msn.com.)

I no longer believe you will help me as I did not get any other response to that initial error report as of Jan 15, 2021. It has been months since I purchased the game, and I have waited and waited, but no fix has been reported. Please let me know how to get a full refund of this game which I can NOT play because of this connection error.

Steps To Reproduce

launch game
select "play"
select server... any of the 4 american servers: LA1840, LA 8246, NY2178, NY2196
select "connect" to server
six to 10 seconds later, the error "connecting failed: an unknown error has occurred" is displayed at top center of server browser window.

Additional Information

console: xbox one s (with game installed alternately on primary hdrive, and external; it gives the same error launching from either memory drive)
Cable internet service through Spectrum of Austin, TX - Service is the Spectrum Ultra plan (400+ mbps download speeds)
Router: netgear nighthawk xr500
Modem: netgear nighthawk cm1200

I currently have filters set for: region - Americas, sorting - A to Z, Livonia dlc - hide, full server - hide, favorited - disabled, passworded - hide, whitelisting - hide, mouse and keyboard - disabled.

But even after resetting the filters, I still get the error for every world wide server, even the "empty" ones.

Hello TeamKSA.
Are you certain that you are launching the experimental client and are trying to connect through experimental client to the experimental servers? Can you please provide us with the client version that shows in the main menu?
As for the refunds, this space is only used to report in game issues and bugs and does not handle refunds - you will have to contact support for that.
Regards,
Geez

Also, can you please try to do a traceroute towards one of the server IP's to make sure this is not caused by high ping between you and the server?

Geez
