Hi

hopeflly this will help with your day epoch overwatch and ithink origins too


Im not here to make the post look prety and edit everything like grammar and spellinng,, i just want to help by sharing what i learned when trying to get arma 2 dayz and epoch to work

explained below,, your connection speed is the main culprit for epoch origins and overpoch to fail

i use arma 2 combined ops
not beta or legacy
epoch 1.0.5.1
dayzlauncher
ping 250

After spending many Dayz trying to get into Dayz Epoch and Overwatch servers, i figured it all out

I launched this game in so many ways possible, used all the launcher, did everything covered in ALL the forums. reinstall run admin etc etc you know what im talking about.

even the servers themselves and steam does not have the answer.. or at least a proven or sure answer..

There are also so many variations of problems.. mostly caused by fiddlling with files battleye etc..

here is what problems you will see with dayz epoch and overpoch and i presume origins too

Battleye client not responding - kicked
waiting for host
session lost
no servers in any mod multiplayer list (dayz launcher will still see them)
stuck in lobby recieving data
stuck on load screen then kicked
high ping kick

here are the solutions and observations ive made..

1. if you get session lost when launch thru launcher or steam it means your battleye is messed up again.
2. if no servers show up in normal launch thru steam it means battleye is still messed up
3. if you get kicked for high ping this is good news. because battleye is working and the game loads... but you need to be closer to the server for better ping
4. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT.... If you wait Dayz for the server to load and eventually get kicked just as it looks like ready to spawn... it means your internet is too slow... like being throttled or limited on uncapped plans etc...

>>>i read in a forum there is a packet data loss limit of 49, and de-sync limit ... ping limoits are usually 350. myne is usually around 220 - 280 and dont get kicked on most servers.

thats the prob... the game is loading its current state and the slow internet causes it to score bad de-sync and so gets kicked. its understandable because ping and desync and packet loss means no 1km sniper shot with the enzo.

i tried wifi router and direct connect to lan internet. both have good connections, BUT its uncapped and service provider limits me to around 30kb/sec download speed.

SO - if i switch to normal data i get around 750kb/sec and guess what... the game get into any epoch or overrpoch server (mercsgaming etc) after recieving mission file it shows the server splash, loads , then back to lobby for 2 seconds then server splash again but can see loading mission and state etc in background with numbers counting to 100 in the bottom right corner. then screen fades to black,,, it says recieving.... i hear sound ... and boom... spawn screen.


battleye is very delicate.. if you do something wrong or launh arma wrong it neeeds reinstalling

do this to redo battleye..

go to program files/ arma 2/ battleye pr besetup and uninstall battleye.. (this is the old one)
delete files in program files/common/battleye.. (2 files)

delete registry (search regedit, look for bohemia interactive and delete the Arma 2 OA FOLDER, and leave arma 2 folder alone)

search %appdata% (cos its hidden, then look at your address bar and go 'back' to local) local / arrowhead / battleye. do 2 things.1 delete battleye folder with a client.dll file 2. delete the .rpt file in arma and arrowhead folder.

now

do the next steps...

1. install old battleye in progfiles steam common arma2 beye setup (i hope u didnt delete this)
2. start arma 2 from steam and close it after menu loads (not arrowhead)
3. Now start arrowhead from steam and it should try install battleye again.. let it install bsttleye and boot the game..
In menu click multiplayer and check bottom right corner is set to internet and filter max ping 2500 . wait 10 seconds and see if servers start to show. it takes up to a minute to find all of them

If you see servers in the list it means the game works. if battleye was broken this would not show at all.

exit the game
download dayzlauncher... set it up properly and find a good server...

I never post in forums, i only read them to solve probs

its time to give back

this is my 5dollars

Have fun i hope i helped you
