ARMA 3 Multiplayer issue since 1.18
New, WishlistPublic

Description

Since ARMA 3 updated to 1.18 I seem to be getting a very strange issue. When I load multiplayer and list all the servers within about 30 seconds my internet stops working. I don't mean it stops working on this computer. The entire network experiences huge packet loss. I have a laptop not running ARMA 3 sitting next to me and right now I do tracert www.google.com and experience no issues. I run ARMA 3 and click multiplayer then I get Request timed out. It only did this since the update. I was playing multiplayer just before the patch.

Did more testing. I created a Multiplayer game while Steam is selected as the server lists and even when I was in game I was still unable to connect to the internet. I switched it to Gamespy and hosted a game and everything seemed to work ok.

In Multiplayer screen Is Steam or GameSpy selected on the top right corner?

Sorry, 1.18 not 1.8.
For myself switching from Steam to Gamespy actually seems to fix the issue. My friend is having the exact same issue since the update though and switching makes no difference.
