I'm not ignoring the "critical problem". I was simply able to fix the issue that was mirrored by other players in this same thread. Not everyone can load in, sure..but a majority of people can, albeit in debug land. For those of you completely stuck in loading I hope someone finds a way to resolve that issue in a timely manner. Ah, okay. Sad to hear that this probably wouldn't have worked either way for you. I was merely replying to you stating in your previous post that you decided to try the fix on the updated, non rolled-back OA Beta and DayZ releases. Best of luck. I'm glad it worked for someone. Welcome back to DayZ.

Well, if you didn't decide to ignore the first two and most important points for no reason you'd be out of debug land by now. 1 - Downgrade to Arma 2 Version 95417 2 - Downgrade to DayZ Version 1.7.2.4 Downgrade and try again.

I apologize, I misread your post. Edited out initial response. As to your stuck on "Loading" issue, read below. Expect a 20-30 minute load into debug land and a long run to Chernarus. Hopefully your friend is close and waiting with a ghillie once you get into Chernarus.

The ghillie is the only thing I tested so I cannot confirm if equipping any other form of wear would fix the issue.

I found a fix, after a lot of googling and patient friends helped me out. The fix requires the following 1 - Downgrade to Arma 2 Version 95417 2 - Downgrade to DayZ Version 1.7.2.4 3 - Load into a game - I fixed my issue on US 1049 4 - Wait a long time to spawn into debug land 5 - Run east until you're in Chernarus 6 - Meet up with a friend that has a spare Ghillie Suit 7 - Put on the Ghillie Suit - a quick "Setup Completed" message will appear on your screen and you will also now have sound 8 - Run around for at least 5 minutes and have your friend or zombies kill you 9 - Reconnect to the same server, you should now be able to spawn a new character 10 - If your issue wasn't resolved, try again

I have had the same issue with the same updates as OP. I tried rolling back to the same results. I joined a non-hive server to test if the error was on my side, but it seems it isn't since I had no issue there. Bug - Long loading time (Setup completed, Please Wait...) and when you finally load in there is no sound, killing yourself only respawns you back in debug land instantly. Arma - 95883 DayZ - 1.7.2.5
