forceofthegrim 16 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) I am having the same issue. It's been working perfectly the past few days but now whenever I try to join a server, in the bottom-right you can see battleye being initiated and the server's MotD, and in the center it says "Wait for Host" and it just hangs there. I can still hear the wind noise from the main menu, but everything becomes unresponsive and I have to end the process in my task manager to be able to close it. After this happened twice, I went into my library on Steam and verified the local game cache. Steam said there was nothing wrong with it, so I tried again and sure enough, it froze up again. This started happening when I joined a server that I had been playing on just a few hours ago. I was looking around for food because I was starving (as usual I always find a bunch of cool stuff and then starve to death), and I got the "no message recieved for..." message, so I thought I would just hop onto another server (my internet connection can be a little schizophrenic because I have a usb wifi stick). But, as soon as I confirmed that I wanted to quit, it froze up just as I have described above, and now I cannot join any servers at all. I will try reinstalling the game to see if that works. Here are my specs if it helps: Processor - Intel i5 quad-coreGPU - GeForce GTS 450RAM - 16GB Edited February 15, 2014 by forceofthegrim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timairborne 1 Posted February 15, 2014 Happens to me alot when joining a new server for about 10 min then it kinda goes away. i7 4770k gtx 77016g ram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
forceofthegrim 16 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Update: After reinstalling the game (removing local files and then clicking "install" from Steam), I'm getting the same results. I've tried a few different servers, just to be sure, but no luck. So far I've found that these methods do not work to fix this: - Verifying integrity of the local game cache in Steam (Steam says there is nothing wrong with the cache).- Removing the local files on Steam and then reinstalling.- Waiting 10 minutes (timairborne, the poster above me, said this worked for him).- Opting in for the beta through Steam and joining one of the experimental servers. Also, as a side note, I can change the appearance of my character and use all the menus and everything, this only happens when trying to join a server.

forceofthegrim 16 Posted February 16, 2014 New Update: I have managed to fix it! All I did was restart my PC (and thus Steam. Not sure if it was my computer or steam) and hey presto it started working again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

forceofthegrim 16 Posted February 16, 2014 You sure this will help? I can't guarantee that this is the definite solution, but it's what worked for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
