Hello tjensen.
What version of game and launcher do you run?

Also, if this occurs only when being really fast when clicking the lan tab as we have tested, then this is not an issue we are going to address at the moment.

@Geez It looks like the launcher is version 1.6.155752. Does the launcher not get updated automatically when Steam updates DayZ?

This is the same as the bug I reported in November.
If you look at the servers they are all locked.

Switching tabs before the launcher fully loads causes all the servers to lock.
The issue from the users point of view, is the launcher is not finished Launching, and when the User clicks the UI it stops whatever script the launcher is still launching causing everything to crash and requires the launcher to be restarted to function.

...causing everything to crash and requires the launcher to be restarted to function.

This has not been my experience. Although the bug I've reported is annoying, it doesn't require me to restart the launcher. I can simply switch back to the LAN tab to connect to my local test server.
