Stuck at 'Wait for Host' loading screen

Recommended Posts

I've recently updated to the new 1.7.2 and once I tried to log into any server I would get stuck at 'Wait for Host' which wouldn't go away. I could still abort by using ESC.

I've updated to the 94945(latest) patch. I do not have any firewall enabled and I am running the game as admin, the mod is also properly showing up in my mods.

Any help, anyone?

Thanks in advance.

Hey Gair,

Try a different server, it could be that the server you're trying to join is having connectivity / whitelist issues.

I did, I've tried about 20 servers before giving up :/

I am currently just re-installing both games to see if that fixes it.

But as other people have the same issue, please help us find a fix.

Same here. I'm curious to hear if reinstalling worked. I installed the game for my gf as well and she has no problems getting into servers, but I can only seem to join like 1 in 10 servers.

Tried the awful sixupdater yet?

I don't use that thing anymore, I hate it. I use the arma launcher from spirited machine.

This is happening to me too. Every server I try to join I get stuck at "Wait for host", Only happening since I installed the latest beta patch and 1.7.2.3

EDIT - I reverted back to beta patch 94876 and am able to join servers now.

To do this delete the beta folder located in c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\expansion

download the 94876 patch from http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php/

and install it, Worked for me as a temporary fix anyways

Downgrading to beta 94876 seems to be fixing it for me.

Today I encountered a problem with battleye not initializing, and had to update my beta in order to update my battlenet. Problem now is that I get the wait for host screen things again.
