Dyderich Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Has anyone else gotten this: You run the game go to the lobby area (where the confused mess of game servers is located - without any rhyme/reasons - where you cannot select servers to keep coming back to them since there is no favorite or similar way of identifying through the mess of servers...and you hope the server has some unique identifying name) You try to log into the server...say it kicks you because of whatever (I do not even know half the codes and normally its something I am missing in files etc for that server)....then you are back in lobby and you see nothing...refresh the list and nothing....you back out and restart the Arma and nothing...then you totally go back to desktop and find your internet connection has been borked and now you cannot connect even to google. So you have to reset your router because Arma somehow screwed it up and it stopped working. Have seen this now over 5 days and about 10-11 times...each time I have had to restart the router and all works fine but why is Arma causing my router to stop working...its only from this one game that this issue occurs so its not a standard issue at all... Anyone else experience this or know why this keeps happening? Also, anyone know a good way to figure out how to return to a server that may be identical in naming convention to about 40 other servers....there is no way to tag the servers from the lobby and the filter in the arma lobby is about as useful as a fart in church.

Corper Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Yeah you manually enter the servers ip and port in the remote connection. It's not rocket science Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel the Jackle Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Do what Corper said or use DayZ Launcher or DayZ Commander like 99.9% of epoch players do. It will help you keep your mods up to date so you don't get the missing file message plus you can save favorite servers in either launching program so you can join them later.

Dyderich Posted October 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Corper...to start...using Arma 2 program for the game - not using any other programs and this one has a lobby as well (same as Dayz Commander with the exception that you cannot favorite anything) Now as for getting an IP...Id gladly get one if you could...but in the lobby you can only click onto the server - if they provide it in the description or in the loading menu - hopefully you can jot it down quick enough before the game starts, otherwise there is no IP address to manually enter if you cannot see one. Joel...I know Dayz Commander as I used it many months back when I was using an HFB server at the time....now it does not work properly as all I get are the wonderful 10,000 ping anytime I click on any server on the Commander listing - so I do not bother to use that program at all. My biggest issue still is the original problem....Arma 2 making my router stop working....the program itself crashes too much for my taste - I think steam has something wonky with it now....the original stuff I played never crashed this much. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b79/Dyderich/Arma2Lobby.jpg All you see is the server names - no IP addresses at all...so glad to know how you would get that from this location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
