Thanks for the vids. Just finished Part I, and have to laugh a bit... I always try so hard to be stealthy all the time, and still will inevitably get eaten by zombies who trip over me or get shot in the face by bandits, and then I watch this and you are pretty much just running full-tilt the whole time. LOL

I haven't had any respawn glitches, and have respawned about a half dozen times since I updated my files. My problem is, after the update, I've joined a half dozen different servers, and in every case, after anywhere from a few minutes to 10 minutes, I lose connection.

Going from memory, as I'm not at my computer right now... (Also, I use Steam, so would be different if you use retail version) ...\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\common\Arma2 and ...\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\common\Arma2 Operation Arrowhead

Just as a follow-up to my earlier post, I was finally able to successfully play last night. I did the following (unsure what parts of this actually made the difference, or if it was just dumb luck): Deleted local files for both Arma2 and Op. Arrowhead (including deleting the DayZ mod files). Reinstalled Arma2 and OA. Followed instrcutions provided by PsiSyndicate, as shown here: http://www.dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=634 (these are different than the instructions given by Magnet in another sticky at these forums... Magnets methods didn't work for me) I then copied the BattlEye folder from the Arma2 install folder into the Operation Arrowhead install folder. No idea if this was necessary or not, but others ahve suggested it. I noted that the OS folder didn't have a BattlEye folder at all until I put it there, so don't know if it's required or not. I was then able to get in-game. Note that my first attempt still failed... I got to where I was waiting for my character to create, and could chat with players, etc, but never spawned in. So I tried a different server and got in quite quickly.

Just wanted to add m 2 cents, I've got the same problem as the original poster. Just bought (via Steam) Arma Combined Ops last night (as well as PMC). Installed all via Steam. Launched Arma2, then quit. Launched OA, then quit. Followed the directions in Magnets installation Youtube video. I can get to the main menu (ie. Single Player, Multiplayer, options, etc). At this screen, I see Arma2 @days to the top-right, which I think indicates a proper install. I select Multiplayer, get to a server list, pick server and launch, and can get to the Character select/create screen. I ensure Im in a character slot and click OK, and get the Receiving Data bar, which fills anywhere from 75-95%, then stops, then I get kicked back to a server select screen (although this second one has a different look, and is black in colour, instead of brown like the first one). In the background I can see the "Waiting for character to create" text. Doesn't matter how long I wait, nothing happens. If I choose a server again at this point and launch, the same thing just happens. Currently have deleted everything, trying a reinstall.
