*Which version of the game did you purchase? STEAM or RETAIL or MIXED: -> I bought Arma 2: Combined Operations on Steam. *Are you running an Arma 2 OA beta patch? If so what version?: -> I doubt it, just installed Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead via Steam, ran both before installing Day Z and got right into Day Z. When I started playing the game, I never got stuck on "Requesting Authentication". *Which method are you using to launch the game? I.E Sixupdater/steam/batch file: -> DayZ Commander. *What is the Error/Problem you're having? Please provide screenshots if possible: -> When connecting to majority of servers, the game starts connecting to the servers but at the end it gets stuck on "Requesting Authentication". In the end, "Something went wrong, try again" shows up on the screen. *Your PC specs: 120GB SSD C:\ drive, running Day Z on a 2TB 5400 rpm harddrive (D:\), 16GB ram Intel I7-2600 CPU (3.4 GHz Quad Core) AMD Radeon HD 6670 Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller (Internet Card) Intel Z77 Express Chipset *Your Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit *Have you looked at these threads?: http://dayzmod.com/f...d.php?tid=18588 -> Link doesn't work Edit: It seems that if I wait for 40 seconds on the "Requesting Authentication" screen, and wait for like 2 minutes longer on the black screen that appears after "Something went wrong try again" shows up, I enter the server and can start to play.
