Current Beta - 94945 - Issues (Post here please?)

[DarkRaven123 602]

I personally am getting stuck on "Wait for host."

I'd like to see how many other people are having this issue.

I've also had "Dayz_anim requires CA_Dubbing_Counterattack"

I'm seeing alot of people having "Battleye Initialisation failed" also. *Possibly fixed?

I'd like a response on this issue if possible, even just to say "Can't fix, wait for next beta."

Edit :

I have just tried the "Manual update of Battleye" by downloading the latest .DLL file, and it has provided no fix for me.

This is how you attempt it :

- Download the latest CLIENT version for Win-32.

: http://www.battleye.com/download.html

- Navigate to your ARMA 2 folder.

- > ARMA2/Expansion/Battleye

- Copy the .DLL into that folder, overwriting the other one.

It didn't work for me, but it is possible that it will fix the "Battleye initialisation" problem.

EDIT:

FIXED.

Ok so basically the newest beta was stuffing up the connectioning.

If you have recently updated, and you have overwritten your 94876 beta, it should be in the recycle bin.

Restore it!

Then go to your copy of the Beta patch 94876 and install that too.

Do the usual thing, moving the beta of arma2OA.exe to the main folder if you own a steam version.

Then download and install the v1.11 / v1.60 version of battleye and install that.

You SHOULD be able to connect to servers now.

TL;DR :

- Restore previous beta .EXE from recycle bin.

- Run the 94876 patching .EXE.

- Download http://www.battleye.com/downloads/arma2/BEClient.dll

- Replace the .DLL in Arma2OA/Expansion/Battleye

And you're done.

Yeah me and my friend are having the same issue with the new Beta Patch (94945). We get stuck on waiting for host and when we attempt to join a server that is stating that its running the new Beta Patch it says we have a battleye initialization failure. Hope this gets fixed soon I feel as if I am being punished for keeping my game up to date I might start lagging a patch behind just incase now since all the servers run different versions anyways whats the point. It would be nice to have some server standard.

same problem man, i havn't found anything that could fix it either, we arn't the only ones :]

Me and a friend are having the same issues with 94945. Unable to connect to any server. All we get is "Wait for host." They do warn us about beta patches but you never really expect them to actually prevent you from playing.

[DarkRaven123 602]

Yes, its unfortunate, but this isn't the first time people haven't been able to connect.

1.7.1.4 (I think) stopped around 2000 people from being able to connect to any DayZ servers.

[ryahn 112]

I cant even connect to my server. Updated everything to the latest and I get stuck at loading.....

I, too, am stuck at Waiting for Host with the newest beta.

[DarkRaven123 602]

Bump.

Fixed the issue for myself, perhaps it can work for you all.

[DarkRaven123 602]

Bump.

Still a bunch of useless threads being spammed.

[boxy0127 6]

Still stuck on Wait for host or Waiting for character to create

[beginner 4]

Wait for host message when trying to connect on server with 94876 patch.

[boxy0127 6]

Same here

I just went back a patch and can play now, but my friend's game says that he's deleted Chernarus so i'm unsure if it will work for all.

I'm trying this one right now, I'm crazy and have been fighting with this literally for more than 12 hours.

[boxy0127 6]

Works for me now.

[HurriCnz (DayZ) 4]

the thing that i know is that the latest beta patch is broken 94945

so i am using the second to latest patch that is also the patch the most servers are using now (94876)

[DarkRaven123 602]

Those with wait for Host messages still on 94876 :

Did you rollback the Battleye update as well?

There was a Battleye release for 94945+, and then every version before hand.

Worked like a charm, Thank you very much.

[DarkRaven123 602]

Not a problem mate.

Just make sure you let anyone else who has the problem what to do :).

[Belhade 0]

The downgrade fix worked for me. Thanks! Spreading the info around.

[deltasierra25 4]

Can you tell me how you rolled back your beta patch because I tried to launch the 94444 beta patch and it say it is unable to because the one I have now (94945) is more recent.

[lamke 0]

Just delete the Beta folder. Then.install 94444

[deltasierra25 4]

I don't have a beta folder this is how it installed it when I ran the beta updater. LOL

[deltasierra25 4]

Nevermind I figured it out. Basically you just need the nest to last Beta Patch and you can just run it and it will auto overwrite the beta files to the old patch and now it works like a charm.

Thanks everyone for the help.

[rats 5]

Thank you DarkRaven, fixed for me.
