got back home and the server is still stuck in a loop.

10-15 people are actively trying to get in at this point in time.

(that's the PM crew hoping on)

Hi, just finished my first post and saw this. Couldn't help but chime in because of the missing details and me being a avid problem solver.

I did not know my Xbox network was bad until I played dayZ. You have to have it dialed in.

By any chance are you on a series X/S or Xbox one? Are you hard wired? What is your current NAT type?

Xbox X/S---> it's your connection

Xbox 1 ---> old hardware can't keep up with updates.

Hard wired is always better than WiFi-- less interference!

Check your NAT type in your Xbox settings. If your NAT type is strict you will have issues connecting to dayZ servers. When that faults- game crashes. If it's moderate, it should still connect you to the servers but your voip and other "online experiences" like connecting to other players will have issues. the "network" bubble of other players is atrocious if it's not Open.

NAT needs to be open & run the game installed locally.

Cloud is fine but you need up to date hardware (I.e Xbox series X/S, PS5, OS) and a strong stable connection.

Seems to be pointing towards connectivity issues on client side and/or old hardware.

Check out YouTube for some Xbox networking tutorials to get your network aligned.

Best of luck
