Waiting for character to create?

[zeke (DayZ) 0]

Hey guys,

Everytime I join a server now I get "Waiting for character to create" for about 5-6 mins then it'll go to a "Loading" screen for another 5-6 mins before I actually spawn.

So all up every time I die and need to respawn or join a new game it takes me rougly 10-15 mins to get into the game. Is this normal?

The first few games I played it would only take me 1-2 mins to respawn.

I read that reinstalling Battleye might help but that hasn't seemed to do anything. I want to try avoid reinstalling Arma2 as I downloaded it off steam (7GIG each) and I have a download limit.

Any other ideas that might help or is that normal?

EDIT:

I have searched the forums, I've tried most things people have suggested (Apart from reinstalling as mentioned above) with no luck..
