Wait for Host

[misterleroy 15]

Hey guys,

So I have updated the Beta file, updated everything, run a fresh install of A2 and DZ, ive updated BattlEye, I've downgraded Beta files again as I've noted in other threads.

Still whatever I do I get stuck on "Wait for host". I see people dying in the log, and the server messages go out, but that's it.

Any ideas? I've tried everything and searched around to no avail.

make sure your server is running the same beta version you are, otherwise you might not connect.

I've tried a few servers, no luck so far. It all started with "Error creating direct3d 9 graphical engine" and has evolved to this. It is progress, but very saddening.

I'll keep trying servers, but this feels like something else.

When do you get the error message?

My DayZ is currently 1.7.2.3 (I use sixupdater and launcher)

I've tried ARMA2_OA_Build_94945 and ARMA2_OA_Build_94876

When do you get the error message?

I find a server in Six, launch through Six with the Steam Overlay without issue, no longer getting errors and the game loads up. After the Arma loading splash, I get to a black screen with "wait for host". I see the death messages of other testers, and the server MOTD (I think), but that's it. Chat has no name assigned, and I dont think anyone sees it.

TRY THIS

Had 1.7.2.3 with 949XX. Worked just fine for a bit and then when I joined a server I was stuck at Waiting for host.

Fixed this by>

Go to> C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 OA\BattlEye

Backup the> BattlEye.dll (that is save it somewhere else, and delete it)

Join a 948XX server and leave (it will not let you play).

Go to> C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 OA\BattlEye

Replace the> BattlEye.dll (with the one you saved earlier)

Will probably have to do this every so often to continue playing but at least it works.

Aha, i had updated BE everywhere else but there. I had no idea it was stored in AppData

I will try and post back results, thanks.

I'm afraid not, I had a good feeling about that one :) Thanks though! Still stuck in the same place.

Edit, instead of

Join a 948XX server and leave (it will not let you play). The third instruction.

do

Join a 949XX server and leave (it will not let you play).

Then continue as usual.

I have to do this manualy everytime I want to play.

Also it must say> BattleEye Initialization failed when failing (it will not let you play). The file you in AppData folder should be 96k.

Try this with DE 313.

I'm off out boating but will try it later, thanks for the clarifications :)

I just updated beta to 94997, god what a mistake that was.

Now I can't play on ANY server, stuck at waiting for host.

Tried what was suggested a few posts up, didn't work so I re-downloaded the battle-eye again to see if that was the cause, still stuck at 'Wait for Host'. I'm checking the versions and none are running 94997 yet it seems, could explain why I can't connect (was happily playing earlier on 94876.

In short, DON'T UPDATE TO 9499

(Got into a server, you have to check your using the same version, i've only found one and thats a multiplay server)
