Frozen on ''Wait for host'' screen PLEASE FIX!!!1

Recommended Posts

I have been playing the entire day just fine until I stopped, started Six Launcher again, and tried to join a server. All the servers had a ping of 9999 (ALL of them) and under protection all of them had bad. When I attempt to join a server I see the loading screen then it says ''wait for host'' forever. I do not see or hear anything going on, all I see is ''wait for host''. I don't think its a problem with the server because it says there is players on the servers. I downloaded the games through steam but I don't launch them through steam. Also this issue seems to only be happening to players with Six Launcher. A couple other weird things are when I verified ArmA 2s game integrity there was 160 files missing, and it took a hour to re-download them all. I ran the steam version once when the problem was happening, but now when I try it says ''Error creating direct3d graphical engine''. I know some other people have this issue, but please don't reply saying ''I have this issue too'' and making me wet myself thinking I am going to be able to play DayZ again when checking my emails.

P.S. I have had a sh*t ton other problems but I fixed all of them, I hope I can do the same with this


Ok, out of the blue the normal ping and protection came back, but I still can't join shit!! D':

Oh I forgot to mention when I launch the game and go onto multiplayer there isn't any games, all it says is ''Host new session''

FUCK YEAH! I fixed it. Turns out the sneaky motherfuckers at McCaffee decided to enable the firewall even though I had no subscription. FUCK YOU MCAFFE >:(
