I've had the same issue since the 1.7.5 update. Usually I'll get kicked for some script restriction, then it likes to lock up on the 'Setup Completed' step. I've had success with this method;

Open 'My computer'

Go to "C:\Users\-Your User Name-\AppData\Local\Arma 2 OA\BattlEye\"

Delete BEClient.dll

After that, when you join a server and you are in the lobby, you should see a server message stating that it is updating the BE client. Allow it to update and reintialize, then try joining. Works for me.

Odd. You mean when you are in the lobby? The Red Text? I've never had that issue, usually it just re-downloads it automatically. Make sure your Firewall/AV aren't blocking it. If you can, give me a transcript of what it says when you connect to a lobby after deleting it.
