Every time I attempt to join a server, it is unsuccessful and an message pops up saying, "Session Lost"
I think this is a serious issue as it prevents playing the game as opposed to a bug that still lets you play as I have been unable to play the game for 3 days now. {F29387}
Join a server, whether it's through the friends list, the button "play", or joining a server in the server list.
This happens 100% without fail no matter how many times I try. I've tried re-installing the game but I still get this issue.
This first started happening when I died and didn't play for a couple of days. I loaded up DayZ after that couple of days and on the main menu it displayed my character with the gear he had before I died when it should show me as a fresh spawn. My best guess it has something to do with my character/profile being corrupted.
This started happening after the new version was implimented.
try changing your steam name. Right now you're name is how the database saves you're character. so changing it should make you a "new" fresh one.
This is how VAC ban may work.
Check your status in steam. Might be a ban. For a reason or just a false positive.
same happenes to me after todays patch (0.30.113953 - 2014.01.05.) Vac status is good standing!
The game reinstall solve the problem for me...
