The devs are constantly working with the Experimental branch servers, so there will be a lot more bugs/disruptions on those servers. In case you get the disconnects while other players don't, then there's not much we can do from our side I'm afraid. Just in case though, I'll post the networking guide from the devs which might give a couple of ideas on what to tweak on your network:

NAT Types:

• Open
• Moderate
• Strict

Open NATs can connect to any of the three types. --> Probably the least common type
Moderate can only connect to open and moderate. --> Probably the most common type
Strict can ONLY connect to open.
Strict NATs are a difficult problem with peer-to-peer games. Since most people don't have open NATs, the player with a strict NAT won't be able to find many joinable games.

Also, if the player with a strict NAT does manage to join a game, if another player with a moderate NAT joins later, the player with the strict NAT gets kicked out.

Another problem is that sometimes the ISP (Internet Service Provider) is also behind a NAT, which often means even if you have a direct connection to the internet (without a router/firewall), the ISP still acts as a strict NAT.

Port Forwarding:
The following Ports need to be open on your router to connect to the online servers:
TCP 80, UDP 88, UDP 2302, UDP 2314, UDP 2326, 2338

If you need assistance with opening these ports, please refer to the following website for more information (you will need to know your router brand and model, as the website guides are based on specific routers)
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm

Here are some additional tips that have helped many players improve their connectivity:

1. Make sure your router's firmware is upgraded the latest version (very important).
2. Unplug your router for 10 minutes and plug it back in. Some older routers degrade in performance over time until it is rebooted, similar to a PC.
3. Disable any firewall or other network filtering for the game.
4. Enable uPnP (universal plug and play) on your router.
5. If you don't care about security, enable DMZ (de-militarized zone) on your router for your PC's address. This turns off all of your router's firewall features for that specific PC.
6. Run 'cmd' in administrative mode and use command ipconfig /flushdns
7. Contact your ISP and ask them what your DNS setting should be.

Direct Connection:
If you are still having issues connecting to the online servers after trying the above steps, try connecting your broadband modem directly to the console or PC you are playing the game on. This can help determine if the issue is related directly to the router or another source.

Hi BleedoutBill,

Sorry to hear about your trouble. Are all other players also disconnected from the server when you receive the message from the servers?

I typically play lone wolf/hermit, so I can't say for sure, but when I log back into the same server and hit the "P" key, it looks as if I am the only one affected.

I was playing the other day and it was sunny. I heard thunder, it began to rain and then the lightening started. It was such a strange experience! Typically, it will be sunny and clear. There will be no dark clouds, nor thunder. I'll get kicked from the server and then when I log back in, it will be raining like hell. The other day is the first time that I have ever seen the transition from clear to stormy weather in over 100+ hours of play.

It was this experience that led me to research the "No message received ..." problem. But, no one else seems to have a weather-related cause/linkage, at least that I could find.

Additionally, I tend to play late at night, so the servers are generally low pop.

One thought - I play experimental, almost exclusively, and there are only about a half dozen servers available that have decent pings. All of the servers seem to be related. I think they are named US South Central #1 through #14, but there are typically no more than 4 or 5 of then on line at a time, from which to choose. This past week is the first time that I have played stable in a long time. Perhaps there is a connection there?

I tried that also..

Hello svetistrpo,

To begin with, please try the following steps:

1. Move the entire "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps" folder to your desktop. Your "SteamApps" folder should now be at the following location: "C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\SteamApps".
2. Move the "DayZ" folder out of the "C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\SteamApps\common" folder and subsequently delete the "DayZ" folder.
3. Uninstall Steam while making sure the "SteamApps" folder is still on your desktop.
4. Install a new version of Steam.
5. Go to the new "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps" folder.
6. Move everything inside the old "SteamApps" folder on your desktop to the new "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps" folder.
7. Install DayZ again.

In case this does not solve your problem either, I can have a look at your account in the character database if you send me a link for your Steam Profile ID.

Can you please just teleport me out of the building but no delete any of my gear please and can I have my akm with 75rnd mag because it got lost I had two I was going to give one to friend and one with the 75rnd mag which was for me thx alot again.

I only play 1st person.
The first-person-camera is a disincentive though and, to one of my friends nauseating... (He will not / cannot play the game because of the camera)

It always seems very 'twitchy' when moving around and 'floaty' (constantly moving on its own) when invoking all these new animations...

For an easy example, try running/sprinting in first person, your camera 'tilts' forward to stare at the ground a little, then when you stop running it resets. When you are constantly moving around ingame, this constants resetting of your camera orientation lessens the consistancy of the experience and your feeling of precise control.

This should not be, the only person who should be moving the camera is the player. Unless the player is not in control?

To be more concise/specific with my complaint(s), in first person:

There are no transition(s) for camera movement/position.
There is no dampening in the transition / animation from first person, so even with no headbob, it is nauseating.

Finally, if you actually run trackIR you are constantly having to fight against the ingame camera... This was not so in the original arma.

Whilst saintofthesystem may think it's 'ok' and this isn't 'high priority' i disagree...
At least the original arma engine was far more consistant, and this should be of higher priority to the people working on player-control, this game is (last i checked) a first-person-shooter...

Therefore the basic first-person-controls/view should be one of the highest priorities?
[ I do understand however this may be viewed as 'something we can fix later' -- i just feel this should not be overlooked/underestimated/forgot about, as smooth player control / consistant view is a fundamental of a good FPS game ].

Hi martyi and thank you for your report.
We are aware of this (#17617) and the programmers are currently working on a fix - please be patient.

The burlap wrap was removed in 0.51 I guess. Now you are able to craft a better looking ghilie gun wrap as shown here: http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Ghillie_Gun_Wrap

The burlap wrap must of been removed with the 0.51 update but I still had it on my gun after the update. So when I logged in, this glitch was the result.

Hi Daryl Dixon and thanks for the feedback!
We are aware of this (#18009) and a fix should be in the game soon.

Hello? Is there any possibility to get my character unstuck? I want to play again..

Any news regarding this issue?

Swimming or drifting out into the ocean a little (or any slightly-deepish water) will unequip items and make them hit the bottom or sand below you. In the NE corner of the map, swim toward the little island or sunken boat, and it will happen at some point. Afterwards, it is hard to re-equip the items most of the time, and sometimes requiring extreme object dragging toward shore first. (since you can't really dive downward)

Hi Mrl33tastic and others. Thank you for your feedback!
This issue is quite tricky but we are aware of it and it has been scheduled for a fix - please be patient.

AKM Drum mags too.

Yep he's right I forgot to mention that this was in Turovo lake, I don't know about other locations.

I's not only the waterproof backpack. I have experienced it with a normal Hunting Backpack, when I accidently started swimming in the lake in Turovo.

The Dev's replied, that they are aware of this bug and are looking how it could be fixed.

And more musical instruments!

I successfully played many great pieces. People came into the piano building and beat me senseless, nevertheless.

But if you have to do it, here's how

1.) Hook up a laptop, tablet or smartphone to a cable with two 3.5mm audio plugs. Plug the other one in your microphone socket on PC

2.) Select a fine masterpiece from youtube

3.) Double tap Caps-Lock

4.) Play the youtube piece

5.) Sway left and right to imitate going up and down the keys.

6.) Enjoy getting whacked by players and zombies

Yes, I understand your pain. Devs should really add guitars, violins, tubes and other stuff so we can spend our time playing them near fireplaces.)

For many years, I have worked for companies in the US and the UK; I translated technical manuals, books, articles and websites/CMS from English to German ... I would offer myself as a translator as well. I am retired, so I do have the time to do the job.
