Loading Screen

Is it Normal that the loading screen, keeps loading for a looooooong time? All works perfect. I can choose a server, I'm connected to the chosen server, I load the missions settings perfect... and then the screen goes black and says loading.

Ive noticed some servers it will take upwards of 5 minutes to load, some it takes 10 seconds.

All depends on the server from what I can tell.

I bought Arma i spent 3 hours to install it and tried to connect to servers and i am fed up already.

weaponcfg missing - fixed

loading screen - 20 min or so before alt+f4

Why this must be so painful, i am about to give up on this gave even before i started but i dont get refund from steam :( and i am not lover or ARMA itself :/

Yea, it happened to me i tend to join servers that are close to me. Try joining a server that the host is somewhere near you like another city. I live in TX and when i look for servers i tend to look for Dallas or USA in General don't join ones that have over 100+ ping join the ones that have the green pings it might fix your issue it did to me.

Try Dutch (NL) or my favourite: CZ -servers. Only loading time issues I got was in a DE (German) server.
