Well, between Vilayer and my own troubleshooting, we may have the hard to connect to server problem fixed. Some of the server code had become corrupted and was really hard to find as the files are normally invisible and restricted access. The deal with the server being down hard a day or so ago was due to Vilayer doing a big update on Dayz Standalone. Apparently we share a rack with some SA servers, so we were down at the same time.
Let me know if you are able to get in the game better now, and keep your fingers crossed.
