This has been happening to me for months, not just since the last patch. I've tried updating Battleeye even this morning as people are saying and still no luck.

yeah -winxp does not work, game crashes right after opening

Bump. Come on Dev's please help me out!

@mr.cuddless, yes I agree, I've tried a lot of the same troubleshooting as anyone else and still no fix. I haven't wanted to even play the game at this point untill it's resolved, but I also love playing the game and it's hard to stay away.

@Snork315, I have also noticed you are still vulnerable when you are disconnecting as we are. If you are running you will still run forwards in game for a short while, then sit down and finally log out. So I have died on a few characters when this has happened, as a result of either running off a building or being attacked by a horde of zombies that was chasing me but then my character stops and they all jump on it. Obviously you cannot see it as you stop getting the connection fed to your computer but my friends have seen it happen multiple times.

this is DayZ not arma2. i don't own arma2

Okay, thank you. I hope they come up with something, I would really love to play the game without that happening for once.
It's pretty hard to team up with people and disconnecting so often and they have to wait a few minutes every time.

As of 8-2 this problem is still happening. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the game with no luck. Scanned my computer for multiple problems with no finds. I'm not that technically inclined to figure out if it is a problem with my router, but it doesn't seem like it.

After disconnecting many times and finally timing the experience, I noticed that each disconnect was around 15 minutes, give or take a minute. After learning that I decided to try leaving the server around 12 minutes or so, and then immediately re-join the server. This would take about a minute or two to get past the "Please Wait", and then it was like restarting the timer, because then it would take the whole 15 minutes to disconnect again.

This has to be something with server and client, maybe battleeye client and computer? There is a 15 min timer and at that point something goes wrong, please help me fix this issue, I have not found any solutions online.
