How do i enter character selection screen ?

[theevilslenderman 6]

Just got the game set up properly but encountered one hell of a problem.

I've tried joining about 20 servers and always end up with the same problem, "Please enter character selection screen to continue playing" yet there isn't one (there's only this message on black screen) so i'm unable to do anything but die once and then being stuck at "You are dead" screen for like forever.

And i haven't found my answer anywhere so far.

Make sure you have the latest beta patch, and dayz mod version also check that your target in properties of the beta patch is similar to this "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -mod=@DayZ -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -nosplash

I have every single thing perfectly like it is supposed to be. Tried reinstalling everything twice, no changes.

Also tried using DayZ commander aswell as desktop shortcut.

Could it possibly be because i have russian version of OA and english version of Arma 2 ?

you need to press Esc then click the disconnect button on the bottom right then go back to the server screen then click ok again and play

Have you opened up the base game and played it? I remember I had to play OA and then it allowed me to play DayZ!

Well in the end i've figured out how to resolve this issue, wait for about 40 seconds (if there's a lot of players ingame) and then it loads you into game.

Thanks for trying to help me everyone and now i can finally enjoy this fine game :)

Take care.
