    I was playing one day and I heard a really loud explosion in the field next to me. I turn to look and I see a giant cloud that looks like a dust storm rolling in. I assumed it was hackers, and not wanting to loose my kit to hacker BS, I mashed alt+f4 until I dropped to the desktop. Now, because I alt+f4'd 1 time, my game is messed up.

    When I tried to load back into the game it would progress normally, but just hang at the last loading screen, the one with a black screen that says "loading.." right after the "waiting for character to create message"

    I tried everything that has been suggested in the forums, from validating steam file integrity, to manually updating battleye, to reinstalling. I even wiped the PC. Still stuck.

    Then I installed the game on a new PC, perfomed all the normal steps and get stuck at the very same spot.

    I am suspicious that I may have corrupted some file on the Hive or on the Arma II servers. Is this even possible?

    Please help, I enjoy this game so much I am even considering buying another copy, but I don't even know if that will resolve my issue.

    edit: I can get to the server lobbies without issue, from there Battleye loads fine and does not indicate that I have been banned or anything like that
