Forever lasting loading screen when joining a server! Please help!!!!!!!!!!!

[Thunder1 0]

Hi, i have recently purchased arma 2 CO and I have followed the process of getting dayz through sixupdater/launcher, but whenever I join a server, it will load, and then i see the screen with all the players and the bluefor side, then I will click "Ok", it will load again, and after that I get a forever lasting black screen with "loading..." in the middle and it won't go away.

-I have the steam version of the game

*Are you running an Arma 2 OA beta patch? If so what version?:

-I presume I am running 1.7.1.5? (since that what it says on six launcher)

*Which method are you using to launch the game? I.E Sixupdater/steam/batch file: Six laucher

*Your PC specs: Intel core i7 2600k cpu @ 3.40ghz, 8gb RAM, nvidia geforce gtx570

*Your Operating System: Windows 7

Please someone help me!!!!

I believe the servers are being DDosed, not much you can do...

just hope that they get bored and stop DDosing DayZ, even though they should be focusing Battle eye since they are the ones who banned them...
