I was playing fine for hours yesterday, died and the game went a bit crazy - when i respawned the UI seemed really big, bigger than my resolution (1920x1080) and some elements of it were out of the screen. I restarted ARMA and tried to join the game again, as I clicked join I got a blue screen (driver_irql_not_less_than_or_equal), restarted and tried again and the same thing happened so I reinstalled the game completely, reinstalled sixupdater and remodded, now whenever I join a game I see the player list, in the lobby etc but the game is essentially frozen, the background is completely white and everything is unclickable and I have to ctrl+alt+del it out. I thought maybe it was a driver issue, so I switched to the onboard intel gpu just to see if i could actually get past the lobby and it did, so I now was 100% that I needed to reinstall my nvidia drivers, reinstalled them and its doing the same thing. I'm convinced this isnt a hardware issue with my gpu as I can still play bf3 on ultra etc fine. Any ideas? (Also ARMA2 without CO/OA installed lets me connect just fine.) Specs: CPU: i7-3610QM RAM: 12GB DDR3 RAM GPU: GTX 670M 3GBDDR5 Thanks!

Had problems with my router recently regardless of Day-Z, so I've ordered a new router that should be delivered at the beginning of next week, i'll update the thread if anything changes.

It actually worked while at a friends house, time to play with every setting on my router, any suggestions?

Okay, after trying everything I possibly could to fix it - about 5 reinstalls of ARMA2 (each time trying a different method of installing DayZ) I got to the point where I was just sick of trying, so I formatted my computer thinking that it would have to fix it. After booting up my computer having now formatted, I reinstalled ARMA2 and DayZ in the way in which it first worked and was greeted by the same error once again, this points to it either being; A. An issue with my hardware (I'm literally 99.99999999% convinced it isnt this as I have never had any problems with running any other top titles at full settings) B. An issue with my network, I'm going tonight to a friends house to try it from a different IP/Router. C. An issue with the server side details on my character/cd key. I've sent a webnote to the admins asking if they would be able to completely reset/delete any data held about my cdkey/character and will be trying to connect from a different location as just mentioned. If these don't work I think I might just whip out a can of petrol, burn my computer/house to the ground and then probably go insane which may result in me running around the streets naked screaming various nonsensical things about wanting to play DayZ.

I have the exact same problem, had this problem for a week and still been unable to sort it out

I can get to receiving data if I'm lucky but it then will just freeze up at that point, I don't know if this helps but this is my most recent arma2oa.rpt

back in.

I thought it was working, it got to receiving data, then creating character but locked up, had to restart eventually and it is now doing the same thing, I really don't understand.

What kind of hardware issue do you think it could be? I've since been able to play single player Arma 2 OA fine but on trying to join a multiplayer server it does the same thing.
