I'm guessing you were getting stuck at 'Wait for Host'? That seems to be the general problem with 1.7.2.3

No problem :) Glad to be of help. If you see anyone else with this problem, just link them to this thread.

When does it crash? Is it once you join the server and the loading with the tank screen is done and then it crashes? Because if so, my method should 100% work. Just make sure you follow each step properly. If you're not sure of a step, just ask.

Did you go through the steps on http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/32290-arma-2-oa-has-stopped-working-crash-to-desktop-fixed/ ??

Just keep playing with it. You'll eventually get around it :) Just keep following those steps if you can't get it working. It's bound to work.

90% of the time? Are you saying you are able to get in? If so, that 90% of the time you're stuck at loading is just DayZ being DayZ.

No problem :) Spent a few hours putting it all together and fixing error after error XD Good to see it did some good. Would be nice if it could be pinned so others could see it, but I doubt that'll happen :P

Confirmed working with Six Updater/Launcher for those who use it.

That's odd. Just confirmed for 17 other people.

Go back to the thread and look at what I just posted. That should work definitely. Not so sure about if you use six launcher though, haven't tested it.

THIS HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE TOP OF THE THREAD Ok, here's what to do now. in steps: Go to your arma 2 oa folder > open Expansion > open BattlEye and run the uninstall.exe Go to your arma 2 folder > open BattlEye and run the uninstall.exe (if it isn't there, don't worry about it) Run the game with (the beta should still be installed - doesn't matter what one) Try to join a server - you should get stuck at either Loading or Wait for Host - this is normal Close the game and go back into your arma 2 oa folder > Expansion and delete the beta. Download and install beta patch 94700 It will ask you to install BattleEye, do so. Go into your arma 2 folder > go into BEsetup and run the .exe Go back into your arma 2 oa folder > Expansion> beta and copy the BattleEye folder (DO NOT CUT OR DELETE IT - YOU ARE MAKING TWO COPY'S OF IT). Paste the BattleEye folder in the main arma 2 oa directory. Open arma 2 oa and join a NORMAL arma game. Any will do, as long as it is NOT DayZ and it has BattlEye active. Once in, abort and close the game. Download and install beta patch 94876 and install it. Open arma 2 oa and join a DayZ game. This SHOULD work. Try it, if it doesn't I'll see what I can do. This will work best with people NOT using six launcher. Not sure if It works with six launcher - but it does regularly.

add seeyouentea on skype if you need help

PM me your Skype and I will help you through this. It's complicated.. But I've pretty much nailed it down on what do do. A bit of a lengthy process.

This is manual. I have never used Six Updater. Firsto of all, do you have the beta installed? I assume so, but which one? If it's 94700 or below, that is 1.60 94876 and above is 1.61 Download them here: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php/ then just run the .exe

Also, if this happens again, or if you cannot find your BattleEye folder in the arma 2 folder, go into steam > right click on Arma 2 > click Properties > Click Local Files and then click Verify Integrity of Game Cache.

Now me and 2 friends, who all did the same thing to cock it up in the first place are the only ones who tested this, so don't sue me if it doesn't work XD But I'm trying my hardest.
