"Wait for host" and "Session lost"

[gynther19 4]

Alright, I have searched the web for something like my problem, but nothing that could help me.

I've played DayZ via DayZCommander, when suddenly the host/ admin wanted to restart the server because of a problem. We all left, and after an hour or so I saw the server was up and running. I tried to connect, but got stuck on the "Wait for host" screen. This happened several times before I tried to connect to other servers. Each and every other server I tried to connect to worked. This was the only server I couldn't join, and also the only server me and my friend play on.

I waited to the next day, tried to log in, and voila! I passed the "Wait for host" screen. But alas. When it came to "Requesting Authentication" it stopped, a minute passed and the "session lost" message came up. Happened several times, tried to enter other servers, it worked on every one, but not in this one.

I've tried for 4 days now and the message just switch between "wait for host" and "session lost".

- I have uploaded to the last update on both ArmA2 OA, and DayZ

- I have also reinstalled the update on both of the above

- I have tried to log in via both ArmA 2 and DayZCommander through the 4 days

- The problem the admin wanted to fix should be fixed, because the server is crowded like before

Hi Gynther19,

We had this issue on our server awhile back when I was editing our PBO's and accidently added an extra "}" (Curlybracket) to the mission.sqm file which rendered the server broken. I'm sure Arma 2 saves the mission file you download when you join a server that has a custom mission file, if you manage to find it, delete it and you should be able to re-download it when you join the server. I have no clue where Arma 2 saves them though.

When I try to join via DayZCommander it says "Required version; 1.192 up to date", and via Arma2 OA it says "Version 1.62 - Required 1.62.102591".

Don't think the host have put in a curlybracket, because I'm the only one not being able to play, or at least, many others are still able.

I don't think re-installing the game and mod will fix things, because things are working. Everything is working actually, exept that server. And also, I don't want to re-install it, because that shit takes forever.

Download and install the latest beta patch from here manually: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php

Alright, a little update on the matter.

Today I got further in the game, to the point where it is all black, but you're JUST about to load the environment and get the HUD. So I could actually switch radio channels from "Group" to "Side" and write to the admin. I explained the situation, he said he would look into it and do some fixes, and "release" the fixes on the servers next restart. I can't tell if he has done it or not, cause I'm still not able to get past the wait for host situation.

I did however download the latest update, thank you very much Svenskunganka, to the latest beta patch. I followed the instructions in the Readme file, I confirmed the update by entering the game and looking in the bottom right corner, but I still can't join the server, AND I can't find it when I search for it via Arma2, only in dayzcommander. With the latest beta patch I am still able to join other servers as usuall, but still not that server.

Okey, don't know what has happened, but I can join the server now without problems. Some of the things I did was;

- Making a new character to join - failed. I did however spawn on the save place on my last characters possition.

- Re-downloading DayZCommander (which I used), and downloaded PlayWithSix for comparison - failed

- Updated ALL of the ArmA2 patches (ArmA2, ArmA OA, DayzCommander, ArmA2 OA Beta patch) - failed

- Spoke to the admin, who said he was going to try something - failed

- Re-downloaded the whole game, DayZCommander, beta patches in the correct order - failed

And suddenly one day, about 18 days since I couldn't join I tried connecting, and voila! I'm in. No idea how, but guessing re-downloading and writing to admin who did something to your character had something to do with it. Sorry that I could'nt help on the cause, but hoping the re-installation is enough. At least all the other steps does not work, so you would'nt have to try them and save some time.

Had the "Wait for host" problem, found a simple fix.

What i did was just to reinstall battleye manually, and it worked out.

I run it through DayZCommander and I had this problem on just one server. Hope this works for you
