Can't connect to any servers, 'Waiting for character to create' message coming up

Recommended Posts

I have successfully installed arma 2 and arma 2 OA and also dayz, but when I try to join any servers, I get kicked almost immediately back to the server list screen, and a message comes up saying 'Waiting for character to create.' and it seems to come up behind the list of servers, sort of in the background. I have created 2 progiles by the way, so it's not that I don't have one..

Please help! This is annoying me massively!

I had this problem, too, and finally figured it out yesterday:

Somewhere in your Arma2 folder is a folder called BattlEye. Copy that folder. Go to your Arma2 Operation Arrowhead folder, inside that is a folder called Expansion. Paste the copy of BattlEye into the Expansion folder.

Once I did this, I was in the game within 2 minutes, standing on the beach, listening to those haunting sounds.

Or what i did which was alot simpler if you bought and downloaded off of steam was run steam as administrator and then right click operation arrowhead then hit reinstall battleye anticheat
