So I've been patiently waiting for someone to play with because I had a bunch of gear. Finally got someone to play with and I start looking for a server and the server kicked me for whatever reason and then all my gear disappeared from my character.

I was a bit angry about this, but figured whatever I'll just play and get it back. So I started playing with my friend again, we played probably for about 5 hours and got a bunch of items and gear and then my entire game just closes with no warning at all. One second I'm talking to my friend in game, next second I'm on my desktop. I reopen the game and notice my character looked like she did 4 hours earlier. I tried logging back into a server just to see if it was a homescreen bug or something, but when I tried reconnecting to same server as my friend it just said "Waiting for Host". I then tried viewing the server list and nothing will list at all. Nothing in server area, nothing is favorites or history.

I verified game cache with Steam, I opened and closed DayZ and Steam and I even tried rebooting my pc. Nothing has worked.
