Still can't log into Experimental servers. (connection failed0x00020009). Please provide an update

0x00020009 error still after hours of trying different accounts, Mac resets, uninstalling and reinstalling

Are you aware of the mouse and keyboard bug? platform (xbox) there are times when we can't shoot when we aim, or we can't even aim as we follow! Lololol get off m&k

Dayz has mnk enabled servers? Not sure why everyone hates on it like it's cheating if you don't wanna play with mnk players go play on a contoller only server ? Like people use mnk converters and shit on seige rust and other shit that there not supposed to but you guys can actually do something abt it and just not play mnk servers and stop crying

I think he might be talking about the experimental servers since there are only mnk servers… if he’s one of the few lucky ones able to join a server why not point out existing problems with mouse and keyboard?

Crazy how this is still a thing.

Did the devs hit publish and then go on holliday?

CONNECTING FAILED (0x00020009)

Why hasn't this been fixed yet

Just keep trying to connect, eventually it does, it might be a pain but it's experimental and if you can't handle that then maybe stick to the stable branch

Why hasn't this been fixed yet

No need to be rude haha me and two mates, one in the same room as me and one in a different country, all had this same issue, kept trying on repeat for about 10 minutes and by then we were all connected, everyone I've spoken to in the modding community has had the same experience. So either persist, or don't complain. This page is for bug reports not for crying to the Devs about how long it takes to fix a game

Agreed, it just released with major changes and people get their undies in a wad trying to get on when it's possibly much deeper than a 1 hour fix.

From someone who works in networked systems, this isn't a patch issue. The fact that people have the EXACT SAME game version and others can play where others can't is a telltake example of incorrect server setup. - That's done server/host side via live changes, not patching.

And for a studio who has worked on this system now for 8 years they should have a MUCH BETTER IDEA of what TO do and NOT to do when rolling out changes and server configs.

The fact they haven'y said a single WORD since in 2 days is actually terrible supprt given half the playerbase cannot play, it's literally an urgent issue if not resolved could eaily worsen, and could even roll over to Stable of enough neglect is given, and i certainly don't think it's acceptable only half the playerbase can play where the others outright cannot connect to a server, no matter what they do oir try client side.

Refrain from technological discussion if you're not sure what you're talking about.

Yet you claim to work in such a place that wants professional manners you act like you haven't?
Just because the place you worked in had said setup doesn't mean Bohemia has so that tells me your not very experienced enough.

Also it does not matter as to how long Bohemia has worked on DayZ as they are adding new engine features with ARMA Reforger and then DayZ is getting them slowly but surely so bugs are expected, it's called EXPERIMENTAL for a reason so again you are showing me lack of competence for someone who should have a high standing in the IT field.

So again like you said don't comment on something your not experienced in because your ego is showing <3.

I would love to report bugs but no matter how long I try I can't connect.

Can't connect to any experimental servers

Do believe it's a Xbox bug. It happens on stable servers too and on insurgency sandstorm.

Same. i was able to play last night after uninstalling and re installing but cant do anything right now.

Cute. "professional manners"? In an internet forum with random people? I mean... Nobody is under any obligation, nor was i 'inpolite' anywhere. I stated this is a server side issue not a client side one and asked you to refrain from a tech based discussion if you couldn't understand that. It has nothing to do with 'Ego'

The fact you mention ego tells me if anything your ego was hurt at being told you're talking nonsense.

Lol none of the code from Arma Reforger is being used in Dayz, Dayz uses it's own sub version of the Enfusion engine. Once again you move your fingers but nothing of sense comes from it.

And yeah, the game (Client) is Experimental, good job the GAME isn't the issue and it's the servers (AGAIN) isn't it?

Jesus christ you have no idea what you're talking about.

P.S: Networks are the same setup regardless - server racks containing domains and networked hubs featuring lots of cables. It isn't cellular, they're basic network/domain systems with associated CPU/RAM partitions, linked to storage drives that's cached on a seperate network. You just pull data, from a network. The game in basic terms, is your interface to access that. And again, since some people can play and others can't, outright cannot play. (Others including myself haven't been able to connect once) is a clear sign of a network fault.

Thanks for coming to todays ted talk.

Same issue when trying to join servers (Xbox X) but if I try and join my mate who can get on it says I don’t have an X/S version of game which I had no problem before this update

Great job providing players more info on this issue team

@Geez I would like to chime in that i was able to connect after many failed attempts. Steps to i took to solve the issue:

  1. Close game
  2. Restart xbox
  3. Launch experimental
  4. Select the exact server that my character was last in.
  5. Fixed?

But when i launch exp and first select a server which would normally trigger my a prolonged timer due to server hop i get the error and then i am unable to join any server after that including the correct server. Hope this helps you guys in killing this bug

Same here can’t join. I want to play with my friends but I can’t jo

Same here?? No work around yet??

Up

Same problem. Nothing helps.

@Geez I'm unsure which I was last in as I have not played the exp build in a few updates but I'm positive it was a eu server, I will give this a try with each as theres only like 4 and leave a comment with the results, thanks for suggestion, fingers crossed

A fix has been released with todays update. Please let us know if there are any issues still.

Still having major issues with this. Not on EXP but on regular servers. Can connect to any servers except Asia Pacific which is the servers I need. Have tried everything, deleting the game, resetting router, spamming the server, favouriting and trying to enter that way. NOTHING WORKS. Have been trying for days. Disgraceful support, pay for a game and Connor even play it. Multiple friends having same issue on regular servers connecting to AP servers - when is this going to be fixed?????????

What is the location from which you are trying to connect to these servers? And do you experience any network issues?

Geelong, Vic, Australia. I never have network issues. Internet bandwidth and speed is very good, many people in different areas than me having the same issue. It allows me to enter EU servers, Community Servers, but it just gives me “Server unreachable” for every single official AP server. Going on nearly a week now I cannot play the game and I’m not the only one. This is not on EXP - just regular.

I’ve tried everything recommended and nothing fixes it, same with some of my friends. We are basically about to just delete the game and move on

Would it be possible for you to send us a specific time/Server and account when you try to connect and this error occurs so we can take a look if there is something in our logs that could lead us towards the cause?

Just to make sure, do you experience the 0x00020009 error as originally reported in this ticket? Because now you are posting a different error code in your latest comment.

Geez added a comment.Nov 7 2023, 1:11 PM

Also we just checked the logs and it does not appear that there are any log attempts by Spit Tha Gawd name for the last two days.
If the login time you have provided is from today or yesterday, then there is a possibility this is a problem on your network and your connection is somehow blocked/limited.

I’ve had the same error code the entire time, along with the same message. Apologies if I’ve picked the wrong thread to report it, it was the closest to the issue I could find.

I’m pretty sure it’s nothing to do with my network, as every other online game I’m playing works totally fine, internet runs perfect..No speed issues, zero issues to report across 5+ other online multiplayer games I’m actively playing.

I can play on EU servers etc, I can play on community servers..Just any AP server gives me this error code and message. I’m not the only one it’s happened to as I’ve found a bunch of threads online of people complaining about this being a big issue, plus multiple friends having the same issue from different networks in different areas. A lot of them have had different fixes work, some are still going through the e pain I am. My NAT type is open. I’ve deleted the game and all saved data, power cycled, checked my router settings, can’t see how it could be an issue on my end. And to clarify, this is not on experimental, it’s on AP official servers.

Can you please do a traceroute towards the following IP? 128.0.114.32

I’m not sure how to do that as I’ve never done it, a bit over my head. Can I do it from my Xbox?

I may have to stand corrected. I tried hot spotting from my phone and it instantly let me in the servers. So it appears I cannot enter AP servers using my home wifi - any ideas on a fix for that? It’s just happened randomly, was always able to play before this has happened in the last month

Since it appears to be an issue related to your network, unfortunately there is nothing we could suggest. Also we suggest using wired connection as wi-fi is generally not recommended for online gaming, especially network heavy as DayZ.

I’ve had the same error code the entire time, along with the same message. Apologies if I’ve picked the wrong thread to report it, it was the closest to the issue I could find.

Please create a separate report next time as your issue is completely unrelated to this ticket.

To add to the above.
You need to allow the communication through your router (ideally for whole console or DayZ client app) and then it should work okay.
Problem is each router configuration is handled differently depending on model and manufacturer so we can't help with exact setup.
If you cannot do this yourself it would be best to contatct your internet service provider.
