well I did all the suggested remedies and nothing worked... a side note: in the rare instances when i CAN actually enter a server, it will start the "receiving..." freeze when i hit ESC to access the menu. It also does the receiving freeze seemingly when i move, and when i encounter zombies or try to access my Gear. come on mods, i've spent the last 2 days trying to get this to work, about 13 hours! somebody help!!

I am stuck at "Waiting for server response" or "Waiting for character to create" or "Receiving Data". - Servers are simply being overloaded, wait a litte or try another server. If nothing works try below. - Launch Operation Arrowhead from steam and select the option to re-install BattlEye Anti-Cheat client. If you are using retail download the latest version form http://www.battleye.com/download.html and put it in a folder named "BattlEye" in the "Expansion" folder of your Arma2:OA main directory. - Redownload DayZ mod files and make sure you have the latest version. http://armafiles.info/dayz/ - If nothing works try reinstalling both Arma2 and OA. ----> trying the last of these, we'll see... after re downloading everything except arma 2, i am still having the receiving problem and now ALSO am having the huge grey graphics glytches appearing on trees and stuff. wutttt. currently redownloading arma 2, my last resort.

OK UPON FURTHUR research, i have found that it may have to do with your graphics card. try updating the drivers, alternately, a dude in anothe forum suggested reinstalling arma2 OA.

i have the same problem, and have encountered many in the servers that have had it as well. it just says RECEIVING with a black screen for HOURSSSSSSSSSS Whenever I attempt to enter a server, it stalls on "Receiving" with a black screen. Sometimes it does this after a split second of gameplay, or even 2 or 3 minutes of gameplay. It usually happens when walking or moving, but sometimes happens right away upon entering a server. When this does not happen, I get a message that says "waiting for server response" What should I do? I'm pretty frustrated, as I haven't been able to play more than 3 minutes of day z at one time!!! system specs: windows 7 64 bit i3 processor 330m @ 2.13 ghz 4 gig ram dual channel ddr3 @532mhz nvidia default 1366x768@59hz 256mb geforce 310m 488 gb seagate st 9500325as (sata) hard drive help?
