Connected to server, just terrain, no trees or buildings.

I've been trying to connect to various servers all day, and most of the time they hang on the loading screen, after the lobby. When I do manage to get in though, I am dropped into what looks like a test map. There is nothing but a plain terrain mesh with grass texture, there is no grass on top of the ground, there are no trees or buildings anywhere. Occasioanlyl you meat a player character, but they just stand totally still. I tried interacting with one and one of the options was "drag body", and then I did, the player fell to the floor and died. It was like a weird dream.

But yeah. I managed to get into a real, working game earlier today, but now things are just bugging out. I've verified both the ARMA 2 and Operation Arrowhead game caches in Steam, and it has replaced a broken file in both of them. That hasn't helped though. Any ideas?

I tried to take a screenshot, but it just snapped my desktop, not the game.

I dont get it, Your thread is named "Connected to server, just terrain, no trees or buildings" but them you say "I managed to get into a real, working game earlier today"

So are you actually stuck in the debug plains or not?

Yes.

All I was saying is that it DID work before, but now it doesn't.

Like mentions earlier, it looks like you are stuck in the so called "debug forest" this is a place where the developers of Bohemia Interactive tested some of the code and other stuff, I do not know why you are there but I have spawned there myself, try hitting "ESC" and respawn, maybe this will fix it.

If not, try to download the newest beta-patch and if that doesn't work reinstall (or in your case (steam), redownload) the game.

Good luck, and let me know if it works

Ah, respawning did the job, thanks!

I guess that should have been obvious to me.
