Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

on the community server tab in the dayz launcher, hundreds upon hundreds of chinese servers keep showing up at the top of the server list while the list is sorted by lowest ping first, even though the chinese servers have 300+ some even have 700+ ping. Many of the chinese servers are copies of the same server with identical server name.

I am having the same issue, but instead for me it's THOUSANDS of Chinese servers. When viewing more details, it shows as an "Official" server, even though I am browsing the community tab. It also doesn't allow it to compile a list of all the community servers, as it'll only load around 2,000 or so. After that it'll load around 6,000-7,000 Chinese servers, a lot duplicate as stated above. I've had this issue before, but it corrected itself after a while. Then the issue started happening again. I consider this a MAJOR ISSUE due to it not allowing me to search for all the legit servers available.

At first it was just 200 or so chinese servers that were showing up. But now it has become so bad that i only have 10 to 20 legit servers showing up at the bottom of the list. The rest of the list is filled with the chinese servers. This has now indeed become a mayor issue.

Hello MASTER_HAZE86.
This is a known problem and we are looking into this.

I'm now having the same issue. Usual servers have gone and replaced with thousands of chinese 400 ping servers.
It was fine yesterday..

First of all, this is a very serious question. Please pay attention to it. The problem has lasted for more than a year. The community environment has been seriously damaged because of these fake servers, resources have been maliciously monopolized, the community service can only be closed because there is no traffic, and players and creative servers have been lost in a large number, which is a loss to Bohemia. I hope the Dayz environment is getting better and better

Reinstalled the game to see if that would do anything.. it did not. Chinese servers are back and angrier than ever. Lowest ping on a chinese fake server is 180.
I literally can't play the game. all legit servers are pushing 300 ping. How do i fix it??

I also have thousands of Chinese servers popping up even though I live in Colorado. This is the worst bug I've ever seen.

its madness. I'm in England and can't see a single playable EU/AUS/US server. Is this happening to the majority of people or a small handful?

I've logged a ticket for it but that was yesterday

These fake servers are not launched through DayzServer. Pirate games, no Dayz games installed, very serious vulnerabilities!!
The server protocol has been cracked. DayZLauncher has no filtering function, no whitelist mechanism, and DayzServer has no user authentication. These people register tens of thousands of fake servers, maliciously damaging the environment。

I have been away from home and PC for four days and did not have this feature before, Now, my search/view of the Community list sometimes gets to 1000, but only once to 2000, before stopping and the launcher crashes. Most times the launcher crashes at around 200-300 servers listed, if I amend the search filters at that point.
I am filtering the Server tabs at 300 ping, but my four existing Livonia Favourites never showed in the Community list of 1000+ or 2000+ servers, when I was filtering on the map too. Their pings are under 150...

Hello everyone.
This problem has been resolved for the 1.20 stable update.

Hello this issue has not been resolved for me. My DayZ launcher not only displays all chinese servers, when trying to search for servers by map, example Namalsk I get only one Namalsk our of Japan? I cannot find one of our servers maps when searching by our server name?

Never mind, I just had to wait 28 minutes after typing my search in before I found non chinese results.
