Is there a fix for losing the connection to the server?

[Ibuprofen]

Sometimes i lose the connection to the server every 5 minutes. Cant play a full session without me and my friends losing the connection. Reconnecting is not a problem, but its nasty to lose your position and rank gain every 5-15 minutes.

i think not

not till next week or even later than that its Bohemia after all think of all the ppl they scamed outta renting servers XD

Right now if there is Master Server etc in Eastern Europe that the MP connection relies on.... then frankly all bets are off. That part of the world right now will be a freaking absolute nightmare with all sorts of weird IT stuff going on. Shifting everything to a remote setting far from the war might help a lot but that's BI call. The IT war could cause untold collateral damage. If you are interested you can use WIRESHARK to see what IP addresses are being connected to during the game etc. There will also be evidence of what might be happening. Loss of connection etc. This is all conjecture and may or may not be relevant but it's worth considering. Asymmetrical warfare etc denial of service ... who knows. Maybe people are scrambling right now to work out what is going wrong. Such is life. Hold on and try to relax. :-)

you will prolly find alot of the servers will roll out a month or 2 for free due to this issue, depending on how long it takes and if it is actually owned by Bi but it depends on the servers, they are not all money grabbers like alot of people think they are...

[Ibuprofen]

They been very quick to forget what their core playerbase was and is. And the only reason why ArmA Reforger exists is because they ran out of funds to make ArmA 4. And why is that? Because they tried to follow the Battle-Royal Hype with Vigor, which was a very bad decision.

And projects like Day Z Standalone and ArmA 3 Life DLCs prove that they can very quickly forget who bought the ArmA 1-3 games.

Developers these days see a genre that is very popular and most of them can’t resist to leave their own genre in order to produce crap for the hype train that is usually still overlooked anyways.
BI is no exception to that. Casualizing their games, leaving their genre, then coming back to their roots with ArmA Reforger but horribly failing to deliver a stable experience…
Don’t get me wrong. I love the genre (of ArmA Reforger), but there’s not that much good stuff to say about BI, rather than telling people that they are the only developers that (since ArmA Reforger came out) are developing what is today considered as a hardcore tactical shooter.
Even ArmA 3 was not what the core playerbase wanted. And all the promises to the properly working futuristic combat was stomped in order for them to achieve any kind of playability that they could provide with their lack of skills. For example, ArmA 3 was planned to have a dynamic hud, that would be somehow implemented with the ingame smart-glasses and was suppose to have railgun tanks. None of that was ever introduced and the balance of the factions been so horrible that modders had to fix everything. And without the RHS mod you couldn’t even call ArmA a semi-serious looking game since everything was so far off reality that it wasn’t a mil-sim anymore.

They are might not moneygrabbers. But they move or turn fast when they feel its not in the favor of their income. And that includes abandoning their core playerbase for years to hunt down a hype train they never been able to properly deliver a product to.

Thank you for your honest Insight. Agreed.

Maybe -

I found much better results by :

1) joining smaller servers,
2) which are not full,
3) and playing lone-wolf or group of 2/3

Played for over an hour that way.
YMMV.

I figured out the same. But that is no state a game should be in. In EA its okay to have some bugs, but this is gamebreaking and annoying as hell.

[Muffinst0ne]

i have same problem. i am connect to server with one player. playing 40-50 min and get kicked "server lost connection" idk how to fix this.
if you triyng this:
1) joining smaller servers,
2) which are not full,
3) and playing lone-wolf or group of 2/3
you will get kicked, because other people start join in this server :D
but i don't try this "playing lone-wolf or group of 2/3"
how many time we need to wait for patch or some fix?)))))))

there wont be a patch, bi made bank with initial sales and now they exit scam

I give them a few more weeks before I come to this conclusion. I honestly think its not that they are unwilling to fix the game. But pretty much lack the funds, knowledge and resources to do so. As I stated before, they threw out a lot of money with senseless projects like Vigor (Battle-Royal game) and ran the development of Day Z pretty much against the wall (by turning it into a Battle-Royal as well instead of its initial vision).

Releasing this mess of a game pretty much hints towards them not having a single Quality-Control team that tests versions of the game. They either have the worst managers of the industry in charge or ran out of funds (again) when trying to come up with ArmA Reforger / ArmA 4.

I don't think they lack funds, the problem could be bigger than you or I know. DayZ isn't a battle-royal? Its a simulation post apocalyptic zombie survival base building game, where you can CHOOSE to kill people. Just because people play the game and kill people doesn't make it a BR, and obviously you've never seen DayZ RP servers.

The release of Arma Reforger was to showcase the new enfusion engine, and to get modders and people who want to build their own little worlds in said engine a chance to actually do so. I mean hell, there are ALREADY mods for it.

And so what? What if they wanted funding for ArmA 4? their titles have been basically sold to the people that want them. They probably weren't out of money but wanted to give the community something for the long wait, its been almost 10 years of arma 3, and the community has been asking for a long time for something else.
