Did you check your spam filter? All my emails from this site were caught by my spam filter. No responses from a dev or anything, but the automated messages were in there, at least.

I'm going to submit a support ticket and see where that gets me. I'll let you know what happens.

That all sounds like it's going to work, but you might be right, I may be unable to connect to 1.7.2.4... I've been stuck on that last loading screen for a while now. It was somewhat reassuring, though, because I saw lots of those other loading screens. Loading, receiving, something about character data... and then that last screen that just says "loading" and doesn't have a bar... It's been on there for about 20 minutes now, and I'm anxious to see if you ever made it past that loading screen. I just alt-tabbed out to do stuff while it loads, it's mind-numbingly boring to watch that screen. It is going to be fun trying to get one of my friends to downgrade, find civvy clothes AND a ghillie suit and bring it to me. Edit: I opened my task manager, and it's a bit disconcerting to see my network monitor is showing very, very minimal activity... less than 0.5% network activity, and I'm betting that's just from being on this page... Edit 2: Tried letting it load for an hour... Gonna restart my computer, verify integrity of game cache, double check all mods/versions are right, and try again...

I might just go back to playing non-hive servers, because this is getting ridiculous. I'd feel a lot better if a developer or someone knowledgeable posted in here saying they were at least looking into it, and actually looking into my individual case instead of that canned response saying they were "looking into it." If a developer or whoever ever shows up in this thread, here's all the extra info I've managed to gather. I get stuck on "Setup Completed, please wait," but if I wait long enough (15-20 minutes), I can get in. I can't hear any sound. No footsteps, heavy breathing, eating/drinking, not gunshots. My visibility and audibility meters are always at 0, no matter what I do. My debug monitor doesn't show up, and my hunger/thirst meters never drop. I was ~20km NW of 000 000 on the GPS, and I ran about 15 km before I got bored, and my food/thirst meters stayed vibrant green the whole time. My respawn button was active, even though I didn't have a broken leg or anything. Hitting respawn kills me. It says, "Bill has died," my body falls, but I don't see the "You have died" screen. I just get teleported back about 20 km NW of 000 000. Out in debug plains. All my loot is gone, but I'm still wearing a ghillie suit. If I log out and back in, the whole process repeats. I would gladly die and lose all my gear if I could just PLAY THE MOD LIKE NORMAL AGAIN. I know it's just a mod, I know it's in alpha, but this is what it's all about. I found a bug/issue and someone is supposed to be looking into it and fixing it. I know I'm starting to sound angry and impatient, but it's been more than 3 days and I haven't heard a word except from Nibl.

Update! I was able to connect to a server (US 366 Chicago), and I had all my loot, but I was in debug plains, and my screen kept flashing black saying I had the wrong DayZ version. I have 1.7.2.5, the server said 1.7.2.5, but is apparently actually running 1.7.2.4. Attempting to connect to a different server still gets me stuck on "Setup completed, please wait." That's all I have for now... I will post again if I ever come across a solution, Nibl.

Update! (7 hours later) I can connect to non-hive servers (DayZ Sanctuary) just fine, but hive servers still get stuck for me. Now, however. they get stuck on "setup completed, please wait" I was able to hit respawn from that screen, though, so that old character is dead, but I still can't get in. Haven't even seen a gender selection screen.

http://cloud-2.steam...9E575CF57B0C17/ I stepped into one of those graphics glitch towers in that screenshot, and I fell through the ground or something. My screen went white except for my GUI, my GPS said I was at 000 000, and my waypoint marker said I was -1 meters from my mark. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting, tried different servers, but I always get stuck on "loading." I even tried leaving it alone for 15-20 minutes, but nothing happens, and I have to alt-tab/force quit Arma. I don't care if I have to start my character over, I just want to be able to get back into the game. This issue happened in 1.7.2.4 / Update 1.62 (I don't know the beta number, I was just told it was a "1.62 update") but now I'm on 1.7.2.5/Beta 95883, and still can't connect.
