DayZ always crashes right after game starts and shows "Private George Smith" text. Help!

Whenever I try to join my Private Hive this happens. It was working fine yesterday. Other players can join the server just fine.

I have tried verifying game files for ArmA 2 and Operation Arrowhead in Steam. Then I tried uninstalling both games completely and the re-installing in Steam. I booted up both games in Steam and closed them. The when I ran DayZ from DayZ Commander it crashed in the exact same spot. It always crashes at this point right after I get into the game and it always shows the "Private George Smith" text. Any ideas what is wrong?

I fixed it.

I had to delete my entire @dayZ folder from Documents/ArmA 2. Then I re-downloaded DayZ through DayZ Commander and VIOLA!

OP delivers. Aww yeah...
