I am having a similar problem on a lot of servers, I hang at various points in loading, either when it switches to the generic ARMA2 loading screen right after the data-file, or after that screen when you're back in the server lobby before everything goes black.

Which beta version are you running? And are you launching the game using the beta launcher or with steam?

I am using the most current beta, and yes, I am using Steam to Launch Combined Operations with the correct startup settings

I'm also still getting this issue. 3/4 of all servers are X out and I run via Steam. Steam autoupdates the Arma2 game so will wait for it to do that before installing any ad hoc beta patches that seem to constantly change.

All this doesn't matter anyway becuase the few servers I CAN get on, I am 23km out in the wasteland with all my gear but the backpack and compass gone.

Eagerly waiting 1.7.2 and hoping that solves this so I can play again.

Does the server description say that they are using the same beta patch number?

You should filter for 94301.

Earlier today when I was playing, there we maybe 25 servers patched. The vast majority were still the older beta patch.

I am having the same problem.

I'd say I cannot connect to 90% of the servers.

I tried using Steam and 6laucher, I tried filtering the laster beta patch (94645 or something close). The only server were I could log on sent me in the debug desert. Killed my char and retried with a new one.

The new char spawned near Elektro, a connection to another server sent him right away in the debug desert again.

I am now reinstalling the whole game on steam + DayZ mob, hoping this will solve my problem.

Are you planing on solving the server and de debug land issue on patch 1.7.2 or later on ?

Do all the player have that problem to connect or is it only a few ?

Thx!

Only join servers that require the latest beta patch, older server not enforcing the latest are susceptible to hackers.
