i bought me and my friend dayz before 2 days, we spent whole day today to try and fix problem, we start joining the server and after queue finishes it starts loading into server and it kick us and says "Warning (0x00040004) You were kicked off the game Connection with host has been lost."

i did, there is nothing wrong with my wifi, i saw that many people have same problem on youtube but cant fix it

get a cable between your router and pc if possible. theres a lot goin on between server and client in dayz, wifi isnt helping there.

[Smokinall]

do you use DZSA Launcher?

Choose a lower ping server and see how it does. I have to play servers below 100 or it kicks me out or says high latency. Good Luck.

Turn off VPN and play lower pinged servers

100% agree, A ping under 150 should be good for the area you live in.
For example, a low ping, 100 or under is more likely to be "local" IE:
Based in the country you live in or one that is close.
For example, here in Australia, 95% of American and Euro servers
have a ping of 250 or more making them hard to play on.

WiFi works well until it doesn't and from what I can tell it will eventually have blips (very short but long enough) that will be big enough to get you kicked. The error code you mentioned (0x00040004 - TIMEOUT) is not the same one that tells the player their ping is too high (0x00040008 - PING).

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/DayZ:Error_Codes

"Timeouts are not a reply message: they show up when there isn't a reply and a server request is not fulfilled in a predetermined length of time. A server connection timeout error does little to tell you what went wrong or why the error happened: it just identifies that the error occurred. Timeout errors can happen for a number of reasons. The server, the requesting device, the network hardware and even an Internet connection can be at fault."

So BI's definition for the Timeout is dubious since it assumes the player's network was the root cause. Kind of the same mindset as player's thinking anything that goes awry in DayZ is the devs' fault lol

The high ping error refers only to the fact a player has exceeded the server ping limit but is still in communication with the server. Think of it as a slow talker as compared to someone that has to answer a question within a certain time but doesn't - like a gameshow contestant.

I've recently been getting a few of those Timed Out messages myself on 2 different systems and there's little debugging info to hunt down the cause since the root cause can be several things beyond the player control. All you can do is make sure what you do control is tuned up and get a patchcord to replace the WiFi.

Wifi works fine if you have a strong signal.

DayZ is janky and everyone knows this, yet DayZ fanboys are quick to blame the user or their WiFi even when they have no idea what they're talking about.

meanwhile i would say 90% of the threads/posts here with connection issues are people running the game on wifi.

why would you blame the game and refund it instead of just fixing the issue with your system / connection lol

i changed my router / internet provider verified game files reinstalled and did a bunch of other things and nothing worked everything is good on my end meaning that its game fault or incompetent devs

[us271934-Слава Україн]

I can't help but roll my eyes at folks seeming to make the assumption that the only things involved are the DayZ server/software and your own system. You ever look at the path the signals take between the endpoints (your computer and the game server)? Usually several different businesses are involved in shuttling the data and any of them could have a momentary hiccup that could get you kicked or desynced or etc., etc. Since we are talking about mere parts of a second that influence a player's experience it's likely most of your other internet activity appears ok - but who's going to notice a fraction of a second delay when reading an article, watching a video or streaming a movie? Everyone has had a slight lag watching online videos but it's not a big deal 99.9% of the time. Video game data is different and more sensitive to disruptions.
This not to say that DayZ netcode is perfect , the server providers aren't trying to squeeze too much out of their hardware or your computer has no issues itself. Learn to diagnose your own systems and look for online tools that might be able to give some idea if the 'online highway' has a traffic jam somewhere.

that would be like scrapping your car because you got a flat tire instead of just fixing the tire lol

if it was the game then we would all have the same issues that you mention and we dont so yes its on your end

watch any dayz streamer they play for 8 plus hours straight with no issues, the running manz last video was nearly 15 hours and he didnt get any errors

1 thing that might work and has for others here.

1. DZSA Launcher
2. Locate server name
3. Click "PLAY" button
4. List will drop down
5. Click "LOAD"
6. Server Menu Opens
7. Click "PLAY"

Let me know if this worked for you as well.
