What happened?

Hello DayZ Support,

I am experiencing ongoing connection problems with the downloaded version of DayZ on Xbox Series S.

When attempting to join certain Community servers, particularly American PvP servers, the game becomes stuck on "Connecting to server". The entire server menu freezes, and I cannot select another server or navigate the menu. I have to close the game completely.

Some European Community servers work, including heavily populated servers, but many American Community servers do not. I have also experienced desync on an Official European server, where I was unable to move items in my inventory.

I previously experienced the same problem with the downloaded version of DayZ on my Xbox One S. However, DayZ works correctly when played through Xbox Cloud Gaming.


The problem persists across two different Xbox consoles when DayZ is installed locally.

Could you please investigate whether this is a known Xbox issue and advise whether a fix or workaround is available?

Thank you.

Reproduction steps

Troubleshooting already completed:

  • Restarted the Xbox.

  • Tested a separate mobile hotspot connection.

  • Confirmed NAT type is Open.

  • Tested different Official and Community servers.

  • Checked network statistics: approximately 214 Mbps download, 19 ms latency, 0% packet loss and 100% wireless signal strength.

  • Upload speed and MTU were unavailable during two network tests.
