Loading screen 100% but never loads.

[Rhys (DayZ) 0]

Hey guys, just bought ARMA II and got DayZ.

Everything has been running smooth, it all installed easily etc. but now when I join a server I get to the loading screen that just says 'Loading' with a single loading bar and it freezes. The bar reaches 100% and after that nothing happens. I have waited 15-30minutes multiple times, on multiple servers and no luck.

How do I get past the loading screen freezing :(

I also had the problem with the black loading screen.

I installed Arma II combined operations in Steam

I started both games once (Arma II and Arma II: CO) from my steam list

I installed sixlauncher and sixlauncher installed the beta files and DayZ mod for me

Then i had the problem when i wanted to play, the black loading screen with the little grey bar in the middle and the text: Loading

I read these instructions above here and im a simple guy, i didn't want to do all that stuff and actually wanted to wait for the next patch and maybe have more luck with it.

But i read things about Battleye.

This seemed to work for me:

I went to my game-list in steam

I rightclicked on Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead

I saw the option "Reinstall BattlEye Anti-Cheat" and i thought about the solutions you guys wrote above here and thought Hey! Why won't i try to click that!

After I did that, it seemed liked it almost did nothing, no popup accept the one in windows asking if i trust the installation but ok. In my case i restarted Steam after a minute or 2, but thats maybe not necessary.

I started a online game in Combined Operations to be sure and quit immediatly (maybe this is not necessary)

Now i tried starting Day Z through Sixlauncher again and suddenly it worked, i don't know if all this was a coincedence but i already tried to connect a lot of times. Maybe this will work for others also and it is simple to do without copy pasting and complete reinstalls (accept the rightclick in the steamlist/reinstall BattlEye)

Sorry if it doesnt work, i just wanted to share my experience about it and hope to help, im no expert with programming or something.

Kind regards,

This is happening to me as well :(

I just noticed, this is also happening to me before it gets stuck on the loading screen...

The error reads:

No entry 'bin\config.bin/cfgweaponss/m8_carbine_GL.XM320Muzzle'.

I just solved this problem :) !

Let me show you how it works:

First of all i deleted ArmA 2 and ArmA 2 OA through steam. Then i deleted manually the two ArmA folders in the steamapps folder.

After that i FIRST downloaded Arma 2, ran it ,joined a (normal) game and so i updatet BattlEye (dont forget to install it through steam before!)

Then i downloaded Arma 2 OA (and did the same things like above, you need also to install BattlEye manually for arma 2 oa just make a folder called "BattlEye" under SteamApps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion. You need to extract the newest Battleyepatch in there : http://www.battleye.com/download.html (its in the middle of the screen! )

After that i installed the beta patch, which you can download from the green field form http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php/

You need to make a folder in steamapps\arma2 and in steamapps\arma2oa named @DayZ and there you need to make another folder called Addons! In there you just extract the following files:

http://www.armafiles.info/dayz/ (you need to choose a mirror first ;) )

Now you go to steamapps/arma2oa where you can find a "Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch.exe". You need to rightclick it and then insert the follwoing under properties "-mod=@dayz" (without "")

Now it does work for me but i need to run it through the "Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch.exe" (not with steam!)

Hope it helped :) !

PS: Another Tipp: When you have for example beta-patch pack 94997. Just make a filter in the serverbrowser where you add "94997" @ Host ;D ! When you try to join a server with another betapack you will stuck a "Wait for Host" !

Good luck, Have Fun ! ;)
