Error Codes – DayZ

With Game Update 1.12, DayZ introduced new error codes when it comes to the server connection process. This page is dedicated to error codes that will appear in the server browser upon attempt of connection, or disconnect from a server.

General Differentiation between Error Codes

Error codes are split into five sections:

1. Header → "Warning"
2. Full Error Code → (0x0004007E) → Category: 0004 = ClientKicked → Code: 007E = VE_MISSING_BISIGN - 2-part error code to sort the exact error
3. Prefix → "You were kicked off the game" - describes the event that happened
4. Message → "Client has a PBO which is missing a .bisign." - reason for the kick
5. Additional Info → "(addons\ai.pbo)" - if applicable, gives detailed information on affected files
