After I was teleported by a hacker to an island yesterday I logged out, then logged back into another server to try and get back to the mainland. I ended up running out of stamina, getting stuck in a current and had to wait 10 minutes to die from some rocks because rocket thought it would be the greatest idea to take away the respawn button. Now I am stuck at loading at every server I join. I have uninstalled arma II and arma II AO from steam, redownloaded them, redownloaded the latest patches, reinstalled battle eye and it is still doing the same thing. Other people are complaining about this, some who have been stuck like this for over a week and it is being ignored. I would like a resolution and straight answer on how to fix this as quickly as possible. EDIT (possible short-term fix): After trying everything possible on my end and having a feeling this was hive and not client related, I joined a private server and got in with normal loading times. EDIT 2: 8/11/2012 OK, now after the new patches I am having a different problem. Now it will hang at Setup Complete for about 10 minutes. After this I get spawned into debug plains, everything green but no debug monitor. I tried hitting respawn and just keep ending up back there. I even met another player who spawned there and had him kill me. STILL ended up in the same place but this time with no gear. There are also a SHIT TON of other players here with me on one server.

I'm the one that made this thread asshole.

The more threads about this the better, I still haven't heard any word back from an official on when they are going to fix everyone's character.

I made another post about this, and yes based on what I've seen it is something screwed up with our saves/characters on the hive. You can play but you will have to find private servers running their own hives. You and alot of others won't be able to play on all of the regular servers until someone addresses this issue. Which given how many people have posted on the forums about it, is getting kind of ridiculous that we have not gotten a response from anyone.

So 3 of us are having the same issue stemming from the same incident involving this hacker, and all of us can not play on official hive servers but can play on private hives?

Want to add something that goes with my previous feelings. I just joined, and got into a server, but it's a private hive. So, more evidence to the root cause being on the hive end. If anyone else experiencing this could try joining a private hive to verify I would appreciate it.

I just uninstalled everything, arma II, arma II AO, battle eye, six launcher & dayze commander, deleted everything in the steam dir that was leftover, deleted everything in the my documents and app data folders related to anything and then deleted the registry keys for arma II & AO. Reinstalled everything and still the exact same problem. It's pretty clear this is a hive issue with our characters. Would an administrator or developer PLEASE comment on this and atleast let us know you are looking into this?

Like I said, I did that. Now I've gone through, uninstalled everything, went into the documents and appdata folders, deleted everything from arma II & AO and went into the registry and deleted their keys. I'm going to redownload everything, again and will let everyone know if that fixes it or not. But I still think this is a problem with the hive and not the clients. Our data is more than likely corrupted on their end and it's stuck trying to fetch it from the hive database.

Are we going to get a response from a dev or admin or is this just going to be ignored?

I've ruled out everything possible on the client end. Is there a chance my character entry in the hive database was corrupted because of the way I died yesterday? Who do I contact to get my character's database entry deleted or reset?

I did that, I reinstalled everything.

Does anyone know of any servers that were recently stood-up that have a good administration team behind them? I had my 17 day old guy killed in the wave of hacking in US10 that has happened over the past few days and want to find another server to play on until things there get under control. My character on that server was on a 3 day hunt for a vehicle with absolutely no luck. I want to try a server that has only been up for a few days so that all the vehicles have not been horded into the middle of nowhere.

I'm looking for a new server to play on after US10 got hit with a wave of hacking. I've heard the UK servers have less of a problem with hackers and are a little more civil than US servers. Please tell me you atleast have a spare bicycle lying around not horded up north with every vehicle like all the other servers.

Anyone found a fix for this? I'm having the same issue.
