Problems Connecting to Certain Servers

[Novae 1]

Hello all,

I've logged over 100 hours in DayZ, but since the most recent update (1.7.2.3) I have issues (re)connecting to certain servers. The first time I play on a server I have no issues, but when I come back to play later on or the next day (without changing any files) I can sometimes no longer connect to it, I just get stuck on loading (I've let it sit for up to 30 minutes before).

Because of this I can no longer play on my "home" server, which has my group's vehicles in it.

So far I've tried:

• Reinstalling Operation Arrowhead
  
• Reinstalling DayZ
  
• Reinstalling/Updating Battleye
  
• Restarting computer
  
• Verifying game files (I have the steam version)
  
• Launching/connecting with/without six updater
  

None of this has helped, I still get stuck on loading (after getting to the player screen, pressing ok, seeing receiving, and then 'waiting for character to create'), I can even see the death messages of players in the server, but never end up finishing loading. I couldn't find anyone else with this exact issue (in 1.7.2.3) and have verified that I have the proper versions of everything and can connect to other servers.

I'm out of ideas, do you guys have any?

I'm having the same exact problem, and I've done all of the same actions in the OP

You guys aren't the only one, I have 2 friends with the exact same issue. Everything was working fine before and now every server gets stuck on loading screen.

Same thing here.

Dang, guess this is more common than I thought.

Same here on some of the servers I've tried. Seems kinda rampent. Perhaps it's a bug we can't fix on our end >.>;
