On the virus note, I'm not new to using a PC, I've fixed my fair share of computers myself. I use several anti-virus and anti-malware clients, and clean my PC up manually (registry, temp, et al) every month or so. My internet doesn't seem to be the issue, since I can connect fine in every other game. The thing is, most of these issues would've been replicated in another game if it was my problem, but they aren't. From what I've seen on the forums, ArmA isn't exactly perfect... BI have had their hiccups, this is no exception. Blaming the user isn't always wrong, but isn't always right, either. It's most definitely a desync issue, that's what I've deduced. Currently waiting on my partner to get his router's username & password so we can bypass any firewall issues on that end, since it seems to be blocking my connections to him as if I'm attempting to DoS him. (Yes, I've tried the default stuff for his router, didn't work) I'll update this post (or post again) after we try this. Edit: it worked! We forwarded ports 2302 (start) to 2305 (end) with a target port of 2302 and now it works.

Well, if it's BattlEye, why won't it work without it, or through LAN? Network issues make no sense, because I can host fine on every other game. It isn't a PC issue, I haven't had a single virus in 2 years now, and it's a 2 year old PC that can run the game itself on Ultra without any lag... What do you mean by RPT? Report? If so, what kind of report? There's no 'crash report' or anything.

This still doesn't address my main issue: I'm getting desynced in my own servers. If I host online, with or without BattlEye, or host on LAN using Hamachi, Tunngle, or anything else... It still hikes up ping, desyncs my friends, and refuses to work properly.

Oh... Well, I don't have mods. It's vanilla, and it seems to either desync or get incredibly high ping immediately. Probably a desync, since it can give me something that it doesn't give my friend. How do I fix this? :/

Wow... What is "play with six"? Also, I've tried running it without BattlEye, same issue.

Hi, I was told by BohemiaBeck to post here, since I needed help a bit quickly, and wasn't allowed to post due to this account's age. Copied from a Steam Community post I made about an hour ago that still hasn't been replied to: "1- When a friend of mine (who happens to live about 200 km away) and I tried to play the game, we went from 3 MS to 300 MS to 3,000 MS in the space of two seconds. 2- When I joined a non-DayZ, non-roleplay, non-mod server (I didn't know there were any), my ping stayed the same (100 MS) throughout, then BattlEye had a seizure and kept trying to update it, telling me it was fully updated, and then kicked me. 3- I've tried port forwarding, I've tried connecting through LAN, I've tried hosting on a dedicated server, the ping stays the same. Port is forwarded, firewall allowed, et al." If you need more details, ask away.
