XAM

You can't get banned for using hacked item. You're allowed to use hacked items as long as you were not the one hacking them into the game.

Actually, banning for PVP disconnect isn't allowed. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/32223-staff-need-clarification-on-ban-able-offenses Take a look at Ander's reply in that thread.

I will keep killing everyone I see until they fix so people just can't disconnect when they face danger.

Hmm.. When I first connected it said "XAM was killed" and I stood in the middle of nowhere. Maybe Debug plains. So I downgraded my beta to 94876 again and connected to another server. I stood on the beach with all my gear. The server I was on with the latest beta was SE 4.

If you're running a Arma Beta over 94876 you'll have problem connecting to any server. Downgrade to that version using Six Launcher (By just clicking verify) and you should be able to play again. EDIT: Just saw that beta 94997 was released. Not sure if that version is working.

Even though I'm not having an issue with the current one, I hope there will be a better if they ever release a stand-alone version of DayZ.

The inventory is part of Arma 2 and not DayZ.

Got it working. The "Reinstall" option of Battleye in steam doesn't actually reinstall it. Go to your windows start menu -> All Programs. Look for Bohemia Interactive. Go into Battleye subfolder and chose to uninstall from there. After that is finished. Make sure every BattleEye file is removed from its directory. Now, go into steam and chose to reinstall BattleEye again. This time you will be prompted with a popup like the first time. Just click next until it's done. It should now work again! You will need to find a server that updates your BattleEye automaticly. Manually updating it will cause your game to crash.

Try different servers. Mine managed to update on a server I usually don't play on.

Well, it's impossible to do that since everyone just disconnects -.-

Locking & Kicking from servers are against the server rules. Report the servers and they will get blacklisted (Disconnected from the hive).

The solution in this thread should work for you. It has worked for everyone I know.

Same problem. Also tried reinstalling the game, reinstalling battleeye. I've tried everything that I could think of. Nothing has worked so far.

My game is crashing right after the first loading screen with all the vehicles. At "Receiving mission files page" to be exact. Solution? This happened after I manually tried updating. I even restored the old files, and I'm still crashing.

This does not work. The issue is still there with 1.7.2.3 with beta 94876. :(

Did you copy your "Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" to "Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead" ? If not, you have to do that when running through steam. Otherwise it will just run the original version and not the beta.

I had it installed & connected to a server with it. Do I have to do a clean installation even though I updated to 1.7.2.3 after that?

Yes.

I'm stuck on "Waiting for host" on every server I've tried so far.

I just tried connecting to US 172 and I got black screen there as well. Could you try SE 12 even though you might get bad latency? Cause I was in there and got image. I'm going to try connect there again. There's a new arma 2 beta out: ftp://downloads.bistudio.com/arma2.com/update/beta/ARMA2_OA_Build_94945.zip http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php There's also a new DayZ patch out: 1.7.2.3

Everyone who's getting black screens. Could you try connecting to one of the following servers: SE 12, RU 2, RU 3, NL 13, UK8, US 172, US 371 All of those are currently version 1.7.2.2. I connected to "SE 12", and I got image there. It's very dark due to night though.

That server is a 1.7.2.1 one. So that's the reason you get black screens on that one.

Can you give me one of the servers you've connected to that gives you black screen? Hmm, do you have a server your sure you got a black screen on? I'll try connect to it and see if I'm also getting it there aswell.

I'm quite sure there isn't a problem. You're connecting to an outdated server, 1.7.2.1 instead of 1.7.2.2. Take a good look at the server name before connecting. See if it helps :)
