Signature Check Timeout - No Solution?

[Icarus619 10]

Hello there,

I am suffering a pretty heavy problem: Signature Check timeout.

I've read a lot about it and tried everything human possible to change it, but it's still here. I am now going to tell you what I've tried. Please note that I was playing Arma II for over 2 years now and never had any problems before.

- I first re-installed Arma II, Arma II: OA and DayZ from scratch

- Deleted Registy-entries and reinstalled again

- started with admin rights, via Steam, Without Steam etc

- i moved DayZ and Arma to another Harddrive

- I opened ports on my router

- I've set up a DMZ for my PC on my router

This is now where fun starts:

- i bought a new router, still the same..

- I changed my ISP, which means: I've moved to antoher Internet-Provider which uses another technology -> cable internet. I know have a 100mbit/s Downstream and 6 mbit/s Upstream. Guess what? -> SIGNATURE CHECK TIMEOUT!

I am know asking if anyone could know what the hell is wrong with my PC. I've spent a lot of money trying to solve this (New router, new internet-contract, cabel-modem and a some more things) but nothing helped here.

Do i really have to buy a new PC? It can't be related to my internet connection anymore.. I know have a 13ms-ping to the most servers and an Upstream bigger then most ppls Downstream..

how frequently and how quick does it happen? every server?

please upload your rpt log file

It doesn't happen on every server, but I would say 8 out of 10 servers kick me within the first 15 minutes (After picking up weapons/getting into vehicles). If I don't touch anything it runs fine. 1 out of the 2 remaining servers works for me. The other one kicks me after ~1 hour, but it starts with desync and it gets heavier and havier till 'No Message received for XX seconds' popsUp, so there is no 'You were kicked off the game'-Pop Up.

Me and some friends set up a little server to test things out, we disabled verifySignatures by putting the parameter to '0', the strange thing is that i get kicked out of the game with 'Signature Check Timeout' even it is disabled in the config-file..

I will upload the report-file as soon as i come home today.

Ok. If you can re-do the server test, it would be quite useful also to upload its rpt log.

You can try to set a lower packet size value (and determine first what your router/ISP uses):

I will do and post all informations out of the log here later :)

A lower packetsize? I've read a lot about setting it to the max will fix it. Some people set down their sive because Xbox Live for example runs better with around ~1300, they had the same problems. Some of them solved it by maxing it to 1500..

EDIT:

My ISP has a MTU of 1500

Try lowering the MaxPacketSize.

The rpt doesn seem to be from a session you got disconnected, did you?

The modline is bit faulty - remove this part:

-mod=@dayz;-mod=@DayZ_Epoch;

That seemed to fix it, i can't believe it!

It was set to 2000, but why? SOmething must've changed it to it, because it was running fine till few weeks ago..

[Icarus619 10]

Changing the MaxPacketSize actually fixed it, i still cant believe it!

But why was it set to 2000? I never made any changes there..
