Full load bar with a 0 or BE not responding.

[JedM86 6]

I have been trying to play DayZ for 3 days straight and it will not load into a server.

I either get stuck at a screen with a loading bar and a 0 in the corner, or it tells me BE Client not responding.

Core i7-950, gtx580, using DayZ Commander, latest patches for all (also default install patches)

Fixes tried so far

*Reinstalling Arma, OA, DayZ, DayZ mods

*manually updating BE Client and server DLLs

*deleting C:\Users\<me>\AppData\Arma 2 OA (which somehow erases BE update...)

*Port Forwarding

*Any firewalls off

*Latest router firmware

Tearing my hair out here, because not a single server will load, no matter what. It seems to be irrevocably broken.

Please, if anyone knows how to fix this damn set of errors these days (because it started happening about 3 months back and I quit in a fit of pique)

Before that everything ran perfectly, no lag, no errors, BE updated automatically.

EDIT - might as well wait for standalone, but I wouldn't pay for it in a million years if BE is used.

Having the same problem the last few days. When i start the computer now i have to validate the Arma 2 and Arma 2 AO files in steam, the start each one individually every time to be able to play. There always seems to be 1 or 2 files missing but cant seem to work out what it is :(

and just wasted another 7 hours of downloading and configuring only to have the exact same thing happen.

From all reports this is BE being crap. Thanks, crappy Anti-cheat system, thanks alot.

bump - tried putting myself into the DMZ on the router and no joy. Bring on standalone.

You know the anticheat is bad when people prefer PUNKBUSTER to it.
