I am also as of today having problems where I get stuck at loading. I downloaded and installed the 1.7 files from this site, am I supposed to be installing some kind of beta patch for arma 2 or something????
Day Z is AWESOME. I'm hoping that some improvements can be made to servers/stats server to sort out the issues and then some bug improvements can be put in. But I'm not complaining this mod truely is awesome. Well done whoever made it and thank you. EDIT: I've just put BF3 in the bin.
