thahn204 0 Posted July 9, 2012 it probably has to do with the new patch everyone connecting and stuff some people are getting their chars reset others aren't so idk i assume its something to do with the amount of people trying to play with new patch just be patient i was stuck at waiting for char to create now it says loading so i made some progress Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteveThePirate 0 Posted July 9, 2012 I have tried on 3-4 servers - I only ever got to the "Waiting for Character to Create" screen.I assume the update has some server work that is still on-going.If you can get to that stage then I wouldn't go messing about with your install.Personally I am waiting.......Avast!

slyder73 94 Posted July 9, 2012 I figured out how to get the Six Updater working and updated to the current beta patch and ran Dayz.I was able to load and play for the first time in WEEKS!It did take about 5 mins at the loading screen though, and another 2 mins at the Waiting for Charactar to Create screen. 7 mins total.I would guess this is from the main servers being overwhelmed today.

FrenchMoose 0 Posted July 9, 2012 I've got it working after trying for 20 minutes.Updated the game to 1.7.2 using Six launcher, then lanched the game, found a 1.7.2 server, but was stuck on the "Waiting for character to create" screen for ages. Quit, tried a few times, same issue.Eventually found a server with very low ping, connected, and after what seemed like ages on the aforementionned screen, I finally got to the loading screen. Then after more waiting on that, the game finally loaded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knighter 1 Posted July 9, 2012 It has something related to this maybe?* [NEW] Authentication process streamlined with new ArmA2 Beta commands (publicVariableServer and publicVariableClient) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissBehave 37 Posted July 9, 2012 same. blargh. Want to post suggestion that 1.7.3 is only an improvement in launcher and download. I feel like every patch is like working on my Russian Sidecar bike when it breaks down. Find some bailing wire, a Rock, a Tree Branch and some duct tape and hit things. Maybe it will work then.

VVired 27 Posted July 10, 2012 I'm pretty sure the never-ending "Waiting for character to create" screen is the server's fault, as I've tried many different servers and some work while others do not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wotan88 0 Posted July 10, 2012 Same problem here. I get past the character creation screen, but DayZ gets completely stuck on the "Loading" screen. Latest patches here, steam version of ARMA2 with OA. Everything worked fine yesterday, before the new patch. :(UPDATE: It's FIXED!!! What I did was deleted the C:\Users\Username\Documents\ArmA 2 Other Profiles\CharName\Saved\mpmissions folder, and I'm in!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
