Can't connect to one specific server i used to play on (PublicVariable Restriction #5)

Recommended Posts

*Which version of the game did you purchase? STEAM or RETAIL or MIXED:

I bought combined ops on Steam long ago.

*Are you running an Arma 2 OA beta patch? If so what version?:

I am running 102591 and have also tried the newer 103419 patch.

*Which method are you using to launch the game? I.E Sixupdater/steam/batch file:

Dayz Commander

*Your PC specs:

Good enough

*Your Operating System:

Windows 7

*What is the Error/Problem you're having? Please provide screenshots if possible:

I played for around a week on a server I enjoyed alot (UK 130)

During Easter holidays I took about 4-5 days of a dayz break to go on a trip.

And ever since I returned, I can't get onto this server anymore. The dayz & beta patch are still on the same versions as they were before I left.

Now, before I describe what happens if I connect to the server... Alot of different things happen.


  • It's stuck on waiting for host for a short while (1-10 seconds), showing the people in the server at that time in the top right corner.

  • After this short while, the lobby will appear, but noone is in it (can't even see my own name in it)

  • The Disconnect & OK buttons are still visible so I press OK

  • The mission file starts downloading (every time, even though I already have it). During this, the names of everyone in the server show up in the lobby, but instead of being green, they show up with a grey color.

  • Sometimes it shows 1 BLUFOR & the remaining amount of players in the server are the number for OPFOR. The list with spots you can choose (the list left of the player lobby list) does never show any names. About 1/5 times, it shows red "AI" on all the spots.

  • As soon as the mission file has finished downloading:

  • - the game crashes with a message that Arma 2 OA has stopped working

  • - I get kicked by BattlEye for something about PublicVariable Restriction #5 or CreateVehicle Restriction #1

  • One time it said that I had died and I showed up as a seagull in the lobby screen. I hadn't died however as I was still alive on another server

One of the server admins tried to find out what was keeping me off his server but we didn't manage to get it to work.

What have I already tried:

  • I cleared my MPmission cache folder
  • I used Dayz Commander to try going back to an older patch and back to a newer one.
  • I manually downloaded battleye dll files on battleye official webpage.
  • I verified the integrity of my gamecache for both Arma 2 & Arma 2 OA on Steam.

I can play perfectly fine on other servers (like UK 352) but I prefer UK130 as they use a custom Chernarus mappack on dayz hive and have very very active admins and 4x server restart a day.

Another thing to mention is that other players on that server haven't had any trouble getting on it. It's just me... :(

Help?

You didnt mention if you had already uninstalled Arma/DayZ and reinstalled them. Have you done this? I would certainly try it. Typically I would suspect this is a serverside issue, but if no one else is having the issue you might try the uninstall/reinstall route...

I will definately try out a fresh install if the problem persists. But I thought I'd try to ask some advice in here first. Someone may know what is causing this or can provide a fix.

bump once again... Are there no mods hired to help people out at the troubleshooting part of the forums? :(
