Joining wrong server?
Hi armer forgerers
Since I got the game. Ive noticed an annoying UI or backend bug where I try to join a specific server (modded or vanilla) and it will occassionally put me in the wrong one. Even putting me in servers that are identical but clearly not the one I chose
This bug happens if I:
  • Double click on the server from the server list
  • Click on the server, then click the yellow "join" button
  • Direct connect to a server using their IP and then click the "join" button.

If I try to join a server that has or hasnt got a queue. I can sometimes load into a queue of a different server that arma was trying to put me into. It appears that maybe the UI is bugged, or the netcode is scrambled and just chooses a random server

This bug appears to only happen a minority of the time. It can somewhat be remedied (its very frustrating if the server takes a while to load, only to load into THE WRONG SERVER) by simply leaving and then re-attempting to join the right server. This can still result in joining the wrong server again though.

I have researched this thoroughly and I dont think anyone else has this issue. However please comment down below if you have had this and if you may have any fixes.

My only singular three ideas on what this bug may be is either: Server backend, UI bugging due to 4k monitor(this was the case in mordhau) or possibly client desync
My specs are:
16gb ddr5 ram
rtx 3080 ti
4tb nvme
4k 120fps asus monitor
intel i7 10700

Known issue. It is an interface issue where clicking with mouse selects a server. I just hold return rather than click with mouse.
Same issue happens sometimes.
my friend has this problem would love if anyone has a fix

idk how this works for you. it certainly doesnt work for me. same exact issue as clicking with mouse. "holding" return doesnt do anything, if i press return twice it produces the same % chance UI bug as clicking twice.
good on you fixing it for yourself i guess
if you add the server you want to join to your favourite list and if it's the only one on the list and you try and join it should work as it worked for my friend

Thats right. Trick is don't have a server list behind the server prompt you are attempting to join.
