"wait for host" problem

[andreamit 2]

So, I updated to 1.7.2.3, got the latest 94997 beta patch and also updated my client.dll BE file. Still no matter which server I try to join, I'm still getting stuck at "wait for host" black screen. Can anyone help me plz?

You get stuck at wait for host because the server uses another beta pack than you, you just need to go to the filter option in the server browser and there write "94997" (the name of the beta patch you use) in "Host"!

Now i should work! Hope it helped ;) !

Good luck, Have fun :D !

I fixed the problem, many thanks to jacques

I tried it and somehow it failed me at first. I then tried again and again and... again to make this patch going and I finally succeed. Here are the steps I can summarized from all I did to make the patch 94997 works ( I was previously in 94876 ):

1. If you're using steam ( same as me ), go to Steam Library > Right click on ARMA 2 OA > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Cache as your first step. If not using Steam, go directly to the next step.
   
2. Go to your ARMA 2 OA main folder ( C or D:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead for Steam users ) > Expansion > BattlEye and run the uninstall.exe ( Uninstall current BattlEye. )
   
3. Go to your ARMA 2 OA main folder > Expansion > delete the entire beta folder
   
4. Go to C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 OA > BattlEye and delete the .dll.
   
5. Download and install patch 94997 ( the current newest patch ) at http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php, the installer will stop at about 3% and prompt you to install BattlEye. Install it.
   
6. Download the BEClient.dll dan BEServer.dll for v1.61.94945+ from http://www.battleye.com/download.html and copy or cut it to your ARMA 2 OA main folder > Expansion > BattlEye and replace the 2 .dll files with the ones you just downloaded.
   
7. If you're using Steam, rename the ArmA2OA ( the .exe one ) in your main ARMA 2 folder to ArmA2OABACKUP then copy the arma2oa ( the .exe one ) in your ARMA 2 OA main folder > Expansion > beta and paste it to your ARMA 2 OA main folder.
   
8. If you're using Steam, go to Steam Library > Right click on ARMA 2 OA > Properties > General > Set Launch Options > copy and paste this: -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -nosplash -mod=@Dayz then click OK.
   
9. Run SIX Launcher and "Verify". If the SIX Launcher prompt you to "Update", then run the update and re-do step 2 until step 6, re-run the SIX Launcher and "Verify".
   
10. YAY!!! :D Play Day Z in servers with patch 94997! :thumbsup:
    

I won over all irritating errors ( including my special BattlEye: Client not Responding kicking error >:( ) by doing the steps above. Hope this guide can help you guys. :lol:

NOTE:

This patch ( 94997 ) removes most of the bugs I've encountered during my playtime since patch 94444, make the loading and creating character much faster, and increases the fps to the highest possible ( at least in my PC ), so I suggest you guys use this patch to have the maximum possible fun when playing. G'luck, guys! ;)

( Special thanks to Day Z staffs, Rammfisch, and Spiritreader for providing the links and some guides that I used to make the guide above. )
