I have a fix for this, I had this exact problem, download this CMD file, place it inside the ArmA 2 OA directory, and make a short-cut and place it on the desktop, you then run that CMD to open up dayz/arma and you should run dayz with the correct version if they have been installed. I Have made the script, it has trouble shooting so will work with most directories :) Hope this helped! I know I am very late but I hope this may help others!

I run regular arma 2 OA through steam, without dayz, quite often because i like to play game modes like domination but this also crashes, the game is fully updated. I play Regular Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA at least 4 to 5 times a week before this freeze started to happen, is there any way this could be linked with the recent NETFramework 4.5 update. I had to do this to get DayZ breaking point laucnher to open, after I updated the Framework, I could still play though.

DayZ Commander launches arma fine with dayz but it gives an Incorrect version message when i attempt to join a server, it then backs out to the menu, and I can see that Arma is on the latest patch, but this is the incorrect patch for dayz, and after that I re-download the recommended patch through dayz commander but it still uses the old patch, so I made a script, which somehow worked after a lot of trial and improvement. The moral of the story is the script works, so that is not the problem. Oh and BTW I like that metaphor you used XD

I use a CMD script but his has worked for me for about 6 months now so I don't believe this is the problem. The reason why i use a script is because dayz commander doesn't work for me, and launch parameters also don't work in steam, so I have placed a CMD script inside Arma 2 OA file directory to launch it. This runs dayz mod in the correct version, and arma 2 oa in the correct patch, that's why I had to result to using CMD scripts because everytime I ran dayz anyother way it gave me the wrong arma 2 oa patch.

Beta is fully updated, still freezes :(

I recently updated to NETFramework 4.5 I Believe, this might be the cause.

No other games do this, so I don't think this is because of Hardware Isuues.

I have this problem when ever I join any multi-player game on Arma 2 OA, I join the server and then I click OK to load the game, but during the loading my PC completely freezes with no return, I am forced to Hold the power button for 10 seconds to ground the motherboard. I have been researching this topic all day, but i cannot find anything which has helped me. And you can tell this is frustrating because if I test it freezes my computer forcing me to restart which is really inconvenient. Before you ask I have been able to play DayZ Before, this has happened only recently.
