Hi!
I just thought I'd send a report on the issue about servers kicking players due to network issues.
Me and a some other players we know we have good verified internet connections and Internet service providers. We get great results in Speedtests and similar benchmarks.
When playing on some servers there's often the red server symbol showing on the left side of view and after a while you get disconnected in the middle of fights with players and infected. This is not a good "feature".
For a long time now a lot of players have been reported this in the Official DayZ Discord chat/channels and we may see an increase when there's an increasing interest to play the game, like sales, updates, DLC releases.
I haven't felt I have this issue very much but I tried playing last night and yes - I get disconnected 3-4 times per hour. And when I get to main menu I click on Play again. And when I get in I'm being queued having 5-15 players before me. Even though population was below 30 players. This must mean that all players were disconnected. This must be on the server side. Not just one player, having a bad internet connection.
Why does this happen - are the servers not up to the job?
May it be because a lot of players are on WiFi?
Should this be mentioned in the game requirements to use Wired connection?
I'm writing this because I don't think it's a problem on the client side.
Have a wonderful day,
Andee
