Hello,

Sorry to hear about your trouble. Sometimes I encounter a similar problem where I have to wait for an additional couple of minutes after the 99 second timer runs out, but I always manage to connect to the server. In case you already tried waiting after the 99 second timer runs out, I would recommend that you try the following in Steam:

  1. Start Steam and right click on DayZ in your game library (make sure that the game is not running).
  2. Select the tab labeled "General" and make sure that "-skipIntro" is not part of your launch options.
  3. Select the tab labeled "Local Files".
  4. Click on the button labeled "Verify integrity of game cache...".
  5. Start DayZ once the process is complete.

Regards,

JStewart
