Dayz launcher launch parameters mods#

This problem occurs when trying to join servers which require loading lots of mods and which therefore increase the length of the launch parameters. One of the main reasons why this can happen is an unresolved bug in the Steam client which causes Steam to become unresponsive when launching it via -applaunch and passing arguments that reach a certain threshold in length. Restarting Steam and re-running the launcher fixes the issue. This is usually caused by a broken singleton process detection of Steam, where it passes the game's launch parameters to the original Steam process and then terminates. Sometimes the game doesn't launch despite the launcher correctly passing the right parameters to Steam.

Please try running the launcher again if the query times out, and if the data returned by the server query API doesn't reflect the server's actual mod IDs, then custom mod IDs will need to be set as launch arguments.
