I had this problem earlier today. I fixed it after not being able to find a solution. As far as I can tell, this may only affect Steam purchased versions of the game, but possibly not. To fix the loadscreen hanging problem: 1. Run your Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead as an Adminitstrator by navigating to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead (For Steam purchased copies) 2. Right-click on ArmA2OA.exe 3. Select "Properties" 4. Select the "Compatibility" tab 5. Check the "Run this program as an administrator" box, underneath Privilege Level area. This worked for me. After I did this, I get past the loading screen and the character selection screen. It then says "Setup Complete". My theory is that they did some sort of server side fix that requires client file changes/checks or something, but cannot be done without administrator privileges, so the program just hangs. I hope this helps the many gamers who were having the same problem as me. Just for the record, I am running DayZCommander v 0.9.0.65; ArmA:OA revision 95913; DayZ v 7.1.2.5 As of today (August 13th, 2012), these are the latest versions of these programs. Let me know if this works for you!

Hello everyone, I recently heard about this game, and mod, through my cousin. After watching him play it for a bit, I decided to get it. Problem is, I think this game is best enjoyed (like most) with very high quality gaming graphics and smooth play. Currently, even on normal settings, there appears to be a bit of a mouse delay (smoothing already at 0), objects are not clear and defined as well as I would like (appear overly fuzzy) and I feel it may be difficult to play under these circumstances. I'm not willing to go to low graphics settings, so I'm looking for graphic setting suggestions or, as it may be required, a new video card. I have absolutely no qualms with going out and purchasing a new video card if it means a far better gaming experience, but I think, from what I've gathered while searching through forums, that my processor may be my limiting component. I don't know enough about videocards or processors to make an educated decision, so I'm reaching out to anyone out there willing to help. My current specs are: -Intel Core i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz (There are four instances of this under Processors in my device manager) -ATI Radeon HD 5570 (factory settings) -Windows 7 (64-bit) -8.00GB of RAM If there are any other specs I haven't mentioned but are important, let me know. Also, I would be willing to spend up to ~$180 - $200 on a decent GPU, given that it would actually boost performance significantly. Thanks for taking the time to help a new player!
