Can't join any servers

[zombeezy 0]

I installed dayz following this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib73cBf_-Ys

I followed it 100% step by step and am using the arma launcher shown in the video. The game launches fine and on the right hand side of the screen it shows that I have @dayz running. I go to multiplayer and the "network games on internet" page appears. I apply a filter "dayz" and select a server for example Virginia 08. I hit join and it says "wait for host" and then the "multiplayer setup" page appears and shows the names of all the players in game, their ping, the usual stuff. It will retrieve the mission files and the a "retrieving data" load bar appears and gets almost to the end and stops. After some time "waiting for host" quickly flashes on the screen and I'm brought back to the network games on internet page. Any help or advice on this issue would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

I heard if it boots you back to the server list then you need to install/update BattleEye.

I've been having this exact problem. I'll try to install/update battleye and see if that's the problem.

EDIT: Tried to reinstall Battleye Via steam and I got "!!! MISSING STRING"

What should I do? I really want to play.

Alright, after more research than I think I EVER should have made:

I have this exact same issue, I bought Arma II and all that stuff only to have to waste my time doing this instead of enjoying a game.

This forum posted on 2010 has all the same issues we have:

http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?109907-Resolved-OA-Server-version-1-55-Battleye-problems/page5

and on the page that I linked there is a link to this BattlEye page:

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

From what I understand, that updated BattlEye should fix everything.

I don't know why they didn't patch that into the game or at least gave fair warning EVERYWHERE on their game and sites and everything that the issue is there and how to fix it.

I cant test this fix yet because I'm busy downloading the expansion again (because I thought it was an install problem) but if it works I'll let you know. Hopefully this info can be put on a sticky or something to help people out.

Yes, I figured it out shortly after my last post and it DID fix the problem. :D

Missing String? I'm not too sure what that could be, since I'm pretty busy right now I would consider googling the issue. (I'll come back later and see if I find anything.)
