"Receiving" message upon entering a server

Recommended Posts

Whenever I attempt to enter a server, it stalls on "Receiving" with a black screen. Sometimes it does this after a split second of gameplay, or even 2 or 3 minutes of gameplay. It usually happens when walking or moving, but sometimes happens right away upon entering a server.

When this does not happen, I get a message that says "waiting for server response"

What should I do? I'm pretty frustrated, as I haven't been able to play more than 3 minutes of day z at one time!!!

system specs:

windows 7 64 bit

i3 processor 330m @ 2.13 ghz

4 gig ram dual channel ddr3 @532mhz

nvidia default 1366x768@59hz

488 gb seagate st 9500325as (sata) hard drive

help?

256mb geforce 310m

I am stuck at "Waiting for server response" or "Waiting for character to create" or "Receiving Data".

- Servers are simply being overloaded, wait a litte or try another server. If nothing works try below.

- Launch Operation Arrowhead from steam and select the option to re-install BattlEye Anti-Cheat client. If you are using retail download the latest version form http://www.battleye.com/download.html and put it in a folder named "BattlEye" in the "Expansion" folder of your Arma2:OA main directory.

- Redownload DayZ mod files and make sure you have the latest version. http://armafiles.info/dayz/

- If nothing works try reinstalling both Arma2 and OA.

----> trying the last of these, we'll see...


after re downloading everything except arma 2, i am still having the receiving problem and now ALSO am having the huge grey graphics glytches appearing on trees and stuff. wutttt. currently redownloading arma 2, my last resort.

well I did all the suggested remedies and nothing worked...


a side note: in the rare instances when i CAN actually enter a server, it will start the "receiving..." freeze when i hit ESC to access the menu. It also does the receiving freeze seemingly when i move, and when i encounter zombies or try to access my Gear.

come on mods, i've spent the last 2 days trying to get this to work, about 13 hours! somebody help!!
