Arma3 faced the same problem and conducted some investigations. I set up a server and tried two DNS configurations: only AAAA (not working) and A&AAAA (working). Using a host name in the 'Join IP' dialog box seems to only trigger DNS A lookup, so currently IPv6 seems to be only not enabled.

I can't think of a format to input the IPv6 address into the 'Add IP' dialog box.

Hello GreenIsRabbit.
This is not a matter of just enabling IPv6 as the engine does not support IPv6. This is a current limitation that we will not be able to solve.

Also, can you please provide more details as to how you are switching to IPv6? As the server should not appear even in LAN tab when using IPv6

Linux Edit the/etc/sysconfig/network file and add the following parameters: NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
run command service net work restart
Windows run cmd ipv6 install

Waiting for IP address allocation, which is related to LSP. Some LSPs require manual DNS input

When using IPV6, it will appear in the server of the Steam interface, which may be related to its presence in the LAN

That sounds like you have ipv4 AND ipv6 available at the same time?
And for some reason DayZ in that case stops working on the IPv4 connection?

Like said above, Both Arma 3 and DayZ only support IPv4, but IPv6 being available shouldn't be breaking the IPv4 side, is that's whats happening?

On the surface, he still works, but only limited to LAN Yes, after testing, the UDP port will not work when used remotely
