Not trying to rush or be a bother, but I'm just curious. Why not in this patch? With the radar removed and the desync issues better than they were, what could the hold up be?

Seriously hoping that helis make it back in for this update!

You should post the Reddit thread where he's defending his actions. Pure gold.

We were never near Novy. Mr Ian was closer to Moglevka (sp) (the town near Zub castle), when he was killed the first time. He had a bike there. He ran back to his body to find it looted and the bike still nearby. He loaded up on it and drove with a friend of ours who was already near there and another on the way north west/north and ended up finding the group that killed him there. It was then that he was killed again. We've collected a lot of extra guns. Most of us have spare DMRs or whatever in our backpacks. He had no gear from the spawn, so he grabbed one from our guys and tracked down the other team. It's not impossible to get a spawn in Cherno and run up to there to his bike in that short of time, but even I don't remember it being such a short period between him getting killed and that happening. We, and that includes Mr Ian, don't cheat or use hacks. We don't even Alt-F4. I'd love to see the video proof that you claim was given to you. But I am confused. Are you accusing him of hacking (teleporting, speed running, ect), or using disconnect exploits? You banned him for disconnect exploits but had all this supposed proof that he was teleporting instead? I don't get it. Zub/Moglevka isn't -that- far you know.

I was with Mr Ian in teamspeak, and ran to the position that the firefight happened in time to catch Fluid logging out just before the server restart. After the restart, Mr Ian was banned and Fluid logged in promptly-- right where I was waiting for him. After I dropped him, the server was reset again for "hack reasons" and to turn on name-tags to catch the "hackers" and provide proof. Shortly after this second restart, Mr Ian magically logged into the server and into the game, despite being banned and telling us on TS that he was. And right after started logging in and out, losing connection, and was still in there as of the beginning of this post. I can confirm that Mr Ian never logged out in combat and died to these guys twice. We simply tracked this group of 3-5 players west from where they originally ran into him, and handed him a spare DMR that one of us had in our packs. There was no combat logging on our side (four of us, including Mr. Ian).

This! This fixed it! At least for me. Not sure what the problem was, but I assume it had something to do with BattleEye borking out from the beta patches in... some... weird way? Not sure. Mods should sticky this if it's not already common knowledge. You have my thanks and my beans for the help! EDIT: I should probably add that I tried multiple servers and each one let me through really quickly and ran smooth as butter. The only issue I encountered was the loss of my ghillie suit which is a small price to pay to actually be able to play again, though I can't help but wonder if that played some small part in the issue. I'd doubt it, but stranger things have happened. For those this doesn't work for, make sure to follow the instructions to the letter. It's a little confusing, but my game is back functioning now, so yours -should- too. Woot.

Bumping this for any possible fixes. Tried a few more servers with SixLauncher and default. No luck.

Downloaded and used SixLauncher/Updater. Didn't work. It did act like it was installing new files however. Just still can't connect to any server with either SixLauncher or the default application. Now I just feel dirty.

TL;DR - I've been having this problem since I downloaded and installed all the DayZ files after having an unrelated frame rate issue. I cannot get through the loading screen on any server I've tried (and I've tried around 20). As soon as 1.7.2.3 was released, I downloaded the changed data files and was able to connect to a server fairly quickly. I immediately put on the ghillie suit I had been saving until they were fixed and ran about for a short while, but was having extreme frame rate problems that I assumed was part of the new beta. I never downloaded the latest one because of the "Wait For Host" issues, so I only downloaded and installed 94876. In my attempt to fix the frame rate problems I was having, I downloaded all the DayZ files instead of the ones that were listed as changed (just in case) and also re-downloaded and installed the beta. When I tried the game again, I was still getting really awful frame rates just at the main menu, and now I couldn't get into any servers past the black loading screen after "Waiting For Character To Create". Turns out, my computer simply needed a restart since I was having issues with other games and my frame rate being abnormally choppy. After that, other games worked fine, but DayZ still wouldn't let me past the loading screen. I tried re-installing the beta, re-downloading all the DayZ files again, and updating BattleEye manually, but nothing seems to work. I've left my computer "loading" on several servers for 10 minutes or more, and nothing happens. I'm forced to Ctrl-Alt-Delete to close the game. I do NOT use SixLauncher. I NEVER downloaded 1.7.2.2. I NEVER downloaded AO Beta 94945. I HAVE NOT tried a fresh re-install of ARMA2:AO or ARMA2. I'm okay with waiting for the next DayZ patch if I must, or even the next Beta patch if that'll fix it, but my friends seem to be able to play on 1.7.2.3 just fine, on the same servers I'm trying to connect to. I cannot tell if this is a problem with my files or if my character is somehow screwed in the DayZ database. I would be more than happy to just hit respawn but I can't even get into the game to do it. Frustrating! I've been stuck at the infinite loading screen before, but it was never on every server I've tried. Not sure what to do at this point but hope for some sort of response from DayZ folk or people who may of had this issue and fixed it themselves.

I'm having this problem too. Loads through just fine and then gets to "Waiting for Character to Create", stays on that screen for 10 seconds, then goes into an infinite loading screen that I have to Ctrl-Alt-Del out of. 1.7.2.3 with 94876.

Thank Christ you died. Calm down holy geez.

I'm running 1.7.2.3 & 94876 and I can log into servers running 1.7.2.3 just fine. At a -huge- performance decrease though. Until then, my frame rate was pretty smooth with the options I had toggled. However, now, it's in single digits unless I have Post Processes disabled completely, and even then it's pretty low. Not sure if it's just me or not since people seem to be having no problems. Wasn't a server issue either because my main menu was lagging as well. On the plus side, I was able to wear my ghillie suit.

LOLOLOL BUMP FOR KEEPING TRUFE AWIVE Hey Darkwulf! How's it feel when your good buddy Troyicide got publically ousted in that hacker video? Not to mention your name getting dropped along with it. Seems like the truth prevailed alright! http://dayzmod.com/f...__hl__troyicide Hacking d-bag~ Edit: @ :50And Sylauris too.

Good Lord at the fanboy bullshit going on in this thread. You guys have your noses so far up the dev teams' asses I can't tell where they end and you begin. Hardly a fanboy of the devteam. Just don't see the point in arguing over legalities of a vague situation. But by all means, continue crying about the assumed, legal or otherwise, wrongdoings ITT.

Good lord at the armchair lawyering all up in this thread.
