DayZ Bios Error PS5 | Issue Fixed

You’re encountering a “BIOS error” in DayZ on PS5 when trying to load server lists or connect—here’s what’s happening and how to tackle it:

What’s Causing the BIOS Error on PS5?

• According to the Bohemia Interactive feedback tracker, this issue (e.g. error 0x00050017 with messages like ExchangePs4AuthCode or GetServers) appears only on PS5 following the 1.21 update. PS4 users are unaffected. The errors point to a communication timeout between your console and DayZ’s server listing service.

• The developer clarified that while actual game servers are located in the US (for US players), the server listing metadata (the list of available servers) is stored outside the US. If your network blocks this external hosting location, PS5 can’t fetch the list.

Community Reports from Reddit

Players on Reddit have shared similar frustrations:

“I’ve tried basic troubleshooting—resets, reinstalling, deleting saves—but nothing works.”
“Same issue on PS5… PS4 can see servers.”

These echo the idea that DayZ itself isn’t crashing or broken, but network communication issues (especially filtering or blocking external domains) are.

Troubleshooting Steps to Try

1. Restart your network hardware—router, modem, and PS5.

2. Disable any “Country Blocking” or geographic filters in your router or firewall settings and reboot the device—for example, on Ubiquiti UniFi setups this has resolved the issue.

3. Reset your PS5 network settings, ensuring it gets a unique IP that’s not shared.

4. Test connection without VPN, proxies, or DNS filtering that might interfere with external domains.

Summary

The DayZ BIOS error on PS5 isn’t a hardware or game file issue—it’s a network-related communication problem blocking the retrieval of server listings, especially from outside your country. Disabling filters like country blocking and resetting network settings can often restore functionality.
