Hello.
Unfortunately there are no estimates I can share with you. Please keep in mind, that this might take some time to be fixed as there are currently more severe issues that will have to be tackled first.

Your problem is a bit different to mine as I am using a LAN only to connect between 4 machines and when I say lan it's 56Gigabit per/sec via fibre and a switch, no internet connection so no ability to connect to steam servers and / or battleye at all.

How about you guys fix the damned problem and then there will be no need to contact them.

Any movement on this?

Thank you, Nice to know I'm not going nuts ( well not completely anyway ) after testing on three separate high spec systems and a high spec laptop I did think I was losing it.

Any updates on something else to try?

Is there anything else to try?

Yes I've seen the wiki, it's where I got my config information from initially and just so you know -noSteamAuth isn't mentioned there. Also it made no difference still times out if not connected to the internet.

Okay, so you have everything in one place I have performed three tests.

So it works for you does it... then why this.

I completely deleted DayZ and barring the serverDZ.cfg file DayZServer, downloaded both again, copied serverDZ.cfg back into the DayZServer directory.
Repeated the offline process, started the server, started the client, attempted to connect and got the same results as above.

Did exactly as you said, removed a blank lines from the server config file just to tidy up but that's it.

Test1:
Left everything online, including steam, could connect to the server from the client, I was in game. Exited, closed everything down.

So what have you to say for yourself? You've lied to me and now you are just going to ignore me is that it?

O.K I have now confirmed it for myself..

No I've tested this as well and it makes no difference at all, I get the same results, now I am very evidence biased, you have claimed that you can run this on your PC's there and that it works with all network cards disabled and steam in offline mode, I would like to have you post a video of this as I don't wish to sound rude but at this point I don't believe you.

I may have an answer, I am looking into it now, I noted when I started the game that battleye reported the message that it was blocking part of start 10 in the form of a DLL which modifies the Windows 10 Start menu to look like the Windows 7 start menu and according to the battleye site.

I don't know if my system specs make any difference but this is what I am testing on at the moment, I can't see anything here which would cause a problem.

I am not actually using the server at the moment to do this testing I am using my gaming computer itself which is running both the DayZ server and DayZ client, after it's running successfully here with all networking disabled barring localhost 127.0.0.1, I would copy the root of \Program Files (x86)\Steam onto USB and copy it to the same location on the server along with any config files from the users area including users\appdata\chasse\local\dayz I believe it is. But as I said at the moment this isn't touching the server it's only on my client machine which is more than powerful enough to handle it.

No still no go but this time I no longer get a password prompt and it just sits there and eventually says its timed out.

O.K I'll give that a shot in about 10 mins, I'm just getting my little girl ready for bed. I'll try disabling the user password and just doing a connect from the client and see what happens that way I can elevate the level to admin if I manage to get in, thus far though - neither password has worked in either order, same results as above. Yes Steam is running in offline mode. Just to clarrify things at this point I am actually using my gaming PC running both the DayZ server and the DayZ client as it gets laborious tredding USB drives over to the BBFS. ( Big Boy F**** Server )

This might help to this is taken from the .ADM file, my suspicion is that even for PIC games battleye is still trying to check to see if players are on a banlist, obviously on a LAN they won't be and will be in the whitelist locally. The server part of the equation seems to be quite happily spawning things etc but even as admin I can't connect to it.

Sorry to take so long, I had to go to work for an hour.

Obviously I have changed the passwords here but this is the serverDZ file.
