http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/30845-loadingwaiting-fix/ my write up from yesterday tells u how to do it correctly

i wrote this up yesterday...it might help http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/30845-loadingwaiting-fix/

Yes it went really fast...read the whole post i submitted i refered to the "Wrong cd-key thing"

ONE NOTE: I used 6 launcher to update at first and it didnt work (before I did all this, I now its for Dayz) It may or maynot have made a difference to the outcome. I had 94444(not working) - (my friend did not need the 6 launcher update) Problem fix for my setup... Arma 2 CO and Steam...Dayz 1.7.2 I had problems getting stuck on loading and waiting for character to create. Download the new updated beta patch for Arma2 OA here: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php ...(top of page in green bar "Latest Beta Patch". Close all ARMA 2 games: Using WinRar or 7-Zip extract files Run the application file "you may get a wrong cd-key error... or a program may not have installed correctly error (OK them) I did and clicked ok thinking it didnt work...but it was fine" Now, before you start Steam...YOU NEED TO MOVE SOME FILES... First- Go to (computer, c: drive, Program Files(x86), steam, steamapps, common, arma 2 operation arrowhead) Here u will find the application file named (arma2oa). Right click and rename to something like (arma2oa.bak94444) Second - Go to (computer, c: drive, Program Files(x86), steam, steamapps, common, arma 2 operation arrowhead, Expansion, beta) Here u will find the application file named (arma2oa) Right click and copy Back up till (computer, c: drive, Program Files(x86), steam, steamapps, common, arma 2 operation arrowhead) Now, right click and paste file. Run steam and play Arma2OA Combined Operation... Once the game starts it should say "current version 94876" in bottom right of main menu. Upon entering servers Click filter and for host type " 94876 " minus the quotes. Because the new version is 1.61 My first time loading was fast again...my friends still took about 2 minutes.(different servers) ONE NOTE: I used 6 launcher to update (before I did all this) It may or maynot have made a difference to the outcome.

I posted in Bug reporting, but didnt see it populate... So I logged into NY14 6-25-2012 ~10pm PST Logged in and the whole area btw PRIG and Lighthouse (btw cherno and electro.) was on fire...looked like NAPALM had hit the area. I have a screenshot and video, but dont know how to add the video

Complete server mass kill....almost like a nuke went off. Screen said something like..."Bitterness or Brightness... (like a taunt)" then the Explosion, and building looked like they were falling...i was on roof of building. All friends died, some of us in Berezino, 2 of us in Cherno...and several in Electro said they died... Although, someone said they didnt die and said they were at 257 blood and then a min later said he was at full health. Not sure if Fernals <---maybe not correct spelling...Im not saying he hacked, but he is the only one that said he survived at NW Airfield Dallas 26 12:45ish Pacific Time Zone

In agreement with the last comment, BIGPIMPIN was identifying everyone's name and location all over the map, the server was also set to not display titles...3 of use we killed by a guy that was dead on the ground also, we killed him, it showed his name ... was killed 4 times in 10 seconds, then i got shot by him. The admin of the server said he took care of the situation, and kicked a couple players, but not sure if he reported any of the hackers
