Thing

Wow... You do know you are a douche bag?

That is all :-O

I had the same problem with this and other games on my laptop if I played for longer than 30m-1hr. Using a HW monitor I worked out that is was actually the chipset (not the CPU or GPU) that was overheating. Bought a €20 USB powered fan which solved all my problems.

And my search for my local server commences... Oh Gamespy, why are you such a tease. It's the same damn servers running every night but you make me restart 5 times before you will show me the one I want... sigh Any way to specify a server on the command line?

Two things... 1) Make sure your battleye client is up to date as per... http://support.dayzmod.com/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=20. This might fix some of the stuck in 'Loading...' problems. 2) Make sure you only join servers which are running the same version of the beta patch as you are (e.g. if you have patch 95883 then only join servers reporting 95883) I am not 100% sure yet but I think that might have fixed it for me

Did you just post in purple comic sans? I feel violated!

So when you said you were 'logging' you were actually... ewww! Wash your hands before you touch that mouse... I don't want to catch virtual coodies when I nick your stuff.

Tell us oh wise one... how do we avoid getting dumped on the coast after getting stuck at the 'Loading...' screen?

er... it would also completely remove the only unique feature of DayZ which is character persistence. If each server has it's own characters then you might as well bin all that complex hive code and just call it 'DayZ Deathmatch'.

lol... first you imply that we are abusing alt-f4 then you suggest that I should use a network cable rather than my wlan! yeah... cos THAT is likely to be the cause of everybody's problems. At this point it appears pretty likely that it is a bug. Reading around there has been some suggestion that flipping between servers running 95833 and the previous version might cause the problem. The server I normally play on does not report this info so I can't confirm this. Will play on another server (which does display the version) and see whether it happens again. IF you see the issue and want to get it fixed ASAP then the best thing you can do is go to the bug tracker and vote so that the dev team knows how many people are affected by this... https://dev-heaven.net/issues/40878 Edit: If it is just the server version that is the problem then it is just a matter of updating the patch instructions for the servers and waiting for the admins to to the fix (in which case Woo Hoo!)

It is a bug, it's been reported in the bug tracker and the reports on this thread are the proof which you would have known IF you had actually read it instead of blaming the problem on us. So I repeat... f*** off! For the record, after being stuck on the loading screen I am now back on the coast AGAIN (5th time). I'm off-line until it's figured out because tbh grinding up past the spawn campers every damn time I log on is going to bore me to death. You saying 'I have never seen the problem' and implying it is our fault is not a useful contribution

You never ever get stuck in the 'Loading' screen? Never once had your wireless ap reset? Never once had to leave a server when it reset or disconnected? Never once had the phone ring while you were in the middle of a session and had to do something else? What annoys me about this mod is not the bugs but the complete clowns who come on here to blame everything on the users. You don't see the bug? Good for you! You want a f***ing cookie? If you don't see the problem and have nothing to contribute to the discussion but to blame a bug in alpha SW on the users then why don't you just f*** off!

Ok... here I am trying to join my usual server but instead I am looking at the word 'Loading'. So what do I do now? If I alt+f4 am I going to back at the coast? If I alt+f4 but wait for 30 min - 1 hour will I be ok. What are the goddamn rules? I have played maybe 3 or 4 times since the upgrade and have been dumped on the coast every fricking time - I am officially starting to get pissed of. If it is a bug then cent la vie but if it is a deliberate feature to discourage server hopping then it needs to get squashed ASAP. I don't see what I have done to deserve to be caught in the cross fire here... as far as I can tell being stuck in the loading screen is a common issue. If it is a feature (and I don't know if it is) maybe it would make people's life's easier if they asked the community if a rule change would be ok rather than just stick it out there and see how many people squeal.

No.It is a bug, we are right to bring it to the developers attention and you are an ass-hat

No
