Multiplayer Lobby Crash

[spliffeh 0]

I was playing fine for hours yesterday, died and the game went a bit crazy - when i respawned the UI seemed really big, bigger than my resolution (1920x1080) and some elements of it were out of the screen. I restarted ARMA and tried to join the game again, as I clicked join I got a blue screen (driver_irql_not_less_than_or_equal), restarted and tried again and the same thing happened so I reinstalled the game completely, reinstalled sixupdater and remodded, now whenever I join a game I see the player list, in the lobby etc but the game is essentially frozen, the background is completely white and everything is unclickable and I have to ctrl+alt+del it out.

I thought maybe it was a driver issue, so I switched to the onboard intel gpu just to see if i could actually get past the lobby and it did, so I now was 100% that I needed to reinstall my nvidia drivers, reinstalled them and its doing the same thing.

I'm convinced this isnt a hardware issue with my gpu as I can still play bf3 on ultra etc fine.

Any ideas?

(Also ARMA2 without CO/OA installed lets me connect just fine.)

Specs:

CPU: i7-3610QM

RAM: 12GB DDR3 RAM

GPU: GTX 670M 3GBDDR5

Thanks!

If it works with other games why wouldn't it work with Arma II? How odd, I'm convinced it is a hardware issue even if you state it is not.

What kind of hardware issue do you think it could be? I've since been able to play single player Arma 2 OA fine but on trying to join a multiplayer server it does the same thing.

Nevermind he fixed the issue. He just ran the game as admin and it worked.

Until OP Speaks for himself, I am not convinced but that is a strange way.

I thought it was working, it got to receiving data, then creating character but locked up, had to restart eventually and it is now doing the same thing, I really don't understand.

I can get to receiving data if I'm lucky but it then will just freeze up at that point, I don't know if this helps but this is my most recent arma2oa.rpt

I'd really appreciate anyone's attempts to help resolve this issue, as the 3 or 4 hours I played of this game were brilliant, really want to get back in.

Okay, after trying everything I possibly could to fix it - about 5 reinstalls of ARMA2 (each time trying a different method of installing DayZ) I got to the point where I was just sick of trying, so I formatted my computer thinking that it would have to fix it.

After booting up my computer having now formatted, I reinstalled ARMA2 and DayZ in the way in which it first worked and was greeted by the same error once again, this points to it either being;

A. An issue with my hardware (I'm literally 99.99999999% convinced it isnt this as I have never had any problems with running any other top titles at full settings)

B. An issue with my network, I'm going tonight to a friends house to try it from a different IP/Router.

C. An issue with the server side details on my character/cd key.

I've sent a webnote to the admins asking if they would be able to completely reset/delete any data held about my cdkey/character and will be trying to connect from a different location as just mentioned.

If these don't work I think I might just whip out a can of petrol, burn my computer/house to the ground and then probably go insane which may result in me running around the streets naked screaming various nonsensical things about wanting to play DayZ.

[spliffeh 0]

It actually worked while at a friends house, time to play with every setting on my router, any suggestions?

[cmerc 0]

Having the same issue I believe. Any progress?

[spliffeh 0]

Had problems with my router recently regardless of Day-Z, so I've ordered a new router that should be delivered at the beginning of next week, i'll update the thread if anything changes.

I have the same problem. Played all night long and now it just won't work anymore :S

I saw another post with the same problem. We do all have a GTX 670M.

So it might have something to do with that after all?

It's really hard to find anything on this particular problem. :( So weird that it worked fine before and now it just locks up. I got in once more, but I locked up again after 10 minutes or so.

Any progress?
