Hi guys thank you for viewing my post, i need some help with day z standalone.

see whats happening is that i am loading up a server and then i get in and as soon as i get in my ping goes from 30 - 50 to up in the 300's and 400's and it only just started doing this yesterday and i had been playing day z standalone for a good week now. When my ping goes up to about 400 i have tried to load Google and it takes Soooo long.

Thank you guys for reading my post and if you need any additional information please let me know and ill do my best to reply.

Make sure you have no programs open that you have allocated a large amount of bandwith for, i.e. programs that constantly download things. Also, make sure you're obviously not downloading something at the time.

 

Do you have some sort of firewall enabled? 

 

Try restarting your computer. That fixes it for me sometimes.

i have disabled my firewall completely and nothing but i will try restarting my computer right now and let you know how it goes :)

You must not have enough bandwidth, Your bandwidth must have decreased since the last time you were playing the game normally, You send and receive packets while playing and if you dont have enough bandwidth your ping should go up

i just restarted my computer and nothing happened besides it taking maybe 10 minutes instead of instantly which i suppose is something :)

and my bandwidth should be fine as i was playing it fine with me and my cousin yesterday on day z standalone

May also be an issue with your internet service quality, the time of day maybe an issue due to you perhaps playing in 'peak' time. For example, late night/early morning you maybe able to buffer a 1080p youtube video no worries, but come the peak period of the day (business hours) you may need to degrade to 480p to view the video smoothly.

 

Also, you may have other family members or wireless devices using up your bandwidth, what has changed since you played last? 

[Zenorie 0]

umm the only thing iv changed is iv set a static ip because my internet used to disconnect very like 2 hours and thats about it

[Zenorie 0]

literally nothing has changed since i last played

If you want more help post more information, Ul/s & Dl/s would be helpful. (Use this link to find your Ul/s and Dl/s)

 

A few things that could be eating up your bandwidth:

Skype: make sure you're signed out and the process is ended.

Google Chrome (Or any other browser)

Steam (Downloading something)

Other people using the internet

Tons more that could be causing the ping jumping up like that but these are just a few basic things I can think of.

 

 

EDIT: Also, NEVER turn off your firewall. It's not needed, EVER.
