I had the exact same problem as OP, tried everything facoptere suggested but it didn't solve anything. I was not able to join any online game in Arma 2, not even a vanilla wasteland server. However, I think I found a solution. The issue has to do with the permissions of a specific battleye folder. Here is the line from http://www.battleye.com/support.html I deleted the folder and re-ran the game and there was no more lobby freezes. It appears that battleye pulls from the .dll file in that folder for multi-player games and if the permissions got changed on the folder it won't intialize properly and freeze Arma no matter what lobby/mod/game mode you are trying to join. By deleting it you force battleye to re-create the folder when it initializes with the correct permissions intact. I could see the pings of the other players on the server, receive the mission file, etc. and was able to initialize the load in process successfully. I was unable to investigate further as I had to go to work but I will confirm functionality once I get back home. Cheers, hope this helps. EDIT: Confirmed. All issues were confirmed by the "fix" mentioned above. Just delete that folder and it will correct itself.
