Gentlemen(and ladies?), This is what I have found so far.... First and foremost, make sure that you have installed everything correctly... These suggestions are for those of us that have played in the past, and have now come across this loading screen problem for one reason or another. 1. Check your mods folder for the Weapons.pbo File and make sure that it does not read 36,500k as that seems to cause a problem. Replace that file with this one http://www.dayzmod.c...2.4-Weapons.zip This should have an uncompressed size of 36,538KB 2. Make sure you are running the latest version of the Beta Client, and that its verified on the right side of the screen at arma startup. 3. Make sure that your Battleeye client is up to date. Upon joining a server, be sure that you can see the battleeye client registering, and downloading the new client file if needed. You should be initialized before try to join the game from the server screen. 4. If all this fails, and you still get stuck loading, Try to join a server with a private Hive. There are a handful of servers with private hives that work well, but you need to make sure that they are running the same version of the Beta, and DayZ Mod. If you can connect to a private hive, that means that your character data has become corrupt for some reason or another. Mine is corrupt, and I used to be sent to a debug field,but an update hung me at the Black loading screen(No Bar). My issues started with a super odd death, clipping through the ground, and being unable to actually Die... I had to force quit to get out of the server. I have successfully been able to join many servers with private hives, and play again. I'm now working with the Dev Team to get my character data reset on the public hive to be able to play on normal servers. Hope this helps someone... -D2

Try a Private HIve... My character data is corrupted, like many others, and the only way to play is on a server with a private hive. I Figured this out yesturday, after not being able to play since may 18th.

Confirmed that this is a Hive Issue. I've updated per this thread, and can get into servers with private hives. All Official servers hang at the loading screen forcing a alt-F4.

I've been having this problem since 1.7, before that i was being sent to a debug field. I've gone back and forth with the dev team via email, always having the same results. I've wiped everything, manually installed, tried six and commmander, all with no results. I haven't been able to play since may 18th. I'm convinced this is a hive issue, as the orignal fix for people stuck in the debug field was to reset there character data. Unable to play since MAY 18th... with no love. I can't wait for the support when this goes retail! -D2

There are hundreds of us having the exact same issue. Just no current fix, or any attention to our problem. Look at the dozens of threads of people stuck at loading... Its not PC issues, as I could play just fine before may 18th(whatever patch that was). D2

I've been stuck at the loading screens since may 18th. Tried everything, never got out of the load, or the debug field before 1.7. The not being able to play club sucks.

Didn't help me. Still have the issues.

I've been having this problem ever since I bled out in town since someone tried to bandage me up. I was stuck in the ground, and couldn't do anything other than force quit. Since that time, 2 months ago, I would get hung up @ waiting to receive character data. After 2 hours of waiting, I'd be in debug, with no inventory. Since 1.7, I've been hung at the loading screen, and have never been able to get past it, even after 2+ hours of waiting... My problems sound exactly the same as yours, regardless of whether I used steam to launch, or the six launcher. I've gone back and forth with the dev team over email, and they always suggest reinstalling. Well, I've re-installed windows, and it hasn't helped(thought there was something hidden that was effecting something). This is massively frustrating, as I bought ArmaII for this mod, which was awesome for the week I was able to play it.

Doesn't do shit... Join the club. I've been in the loading screen since 1.7.0... and the debug forest from 1.5.6 --> 1.7 I've reinstalled my fucking windows installation and still get stuck there.

Same Problems here. Running Beta through six updater.

I'm in the same boat as you guys. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon...

Read the update guys... If the server hasn't updated there HIVE files, you will get this error message. many of them haven't done it yet. The error message was added so you don't sit there with no connection, and are left wondering what went wrong. Find a server with an updated hive file. Its still early.

I was hoping that all of the fixes that were put into 1.6 would solve my "requestin character..."problems. I'm still spawing after10-15 minutes in the debug field. ATL and Tex servers so far tried and failed. Any thoughts? Spawned in Debug Forest... Sorry for the misstatement. Dallas 3 Fail.

http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=5324 I'm experiencing the exact same thing... Its super frustrating, as I've basically wiped my drive of everything but windows. Nothing is worse than getting in game, to find you are in what i call... The field of dreams. Oh and BTW... you can run forever without seeing anything, so don't try.
