[Kommissar Pinky 11]

Are you using beta patch 94997?

[ArchAngel-7- 45]

remember to replace the arma2oa.exe file from your expansions/beta folder to your arma2oa folder

Tried that patch and instead of loading i get waiting for host

[mixshows 2]

Same thing happened to me, so I went and downloaded the older 94876 and applied patch. Still got the "loading" message so I pressed alt+ctrl+del->start tast manager, then alt-tab back into the game to find this message : Setup complete. Game loads in after that.

Please let me know if it worked for you.

thanks

that's just because 'loading' can take awhile. not because of any of the other stuff you did

it seems to be an issue with the last update

Appears to be some cleanup related desync issues causing some stuttering and long initial load in times (similar to previous patches). Will look into this for a hotfix.

Please keep the feedback coming guys.

Slyguy65, daze23 has your answer. Seems to me you have the issue I sometimes get. If your hard drives, net connection and choice of servers (ping) aren't great, then the long loading can be soul-crushingly long. I play with a mate of mine and he's on an old laptop, 20mb net speed on joining the same 100 ping servers I do (don't ask why..) and we sit there on that loading screen for a while, then I get in (60mb net speed and 2x 10k rpm hard drives - ta) and about 3-4 minutes later he gets in. You just have to grit and bear it for now mate.

My loading is infinite ive let it sit for 30 minutes multiple times...i just don't get it cause i am trying to play with someone who can get in to any server perfectly fine....

Mate, it's hard enough getting a retail stand-alone pc game to run efficiently and stably on the hundreds of different PC specs out there, let alone an alpha stage modification based on a retail game that is several years old.

Don't give up yet. Have faith, someone will eventually be able to help you I'm sure. Keep your cool ^_^

[Slyguy65 499]

welll yep now it just crashes...every time no matter what server when i hit the ok button it loads then crashes....

Ok, answer these few questions for me so I can better understand your situation;

Where do you live (country, not home address please :D)?

What is your PC/Laptop spec?

What is you internet speed?

What version of Day Z are you trying to run?

What version of Arma 2 have you got installed?

Are you running a stand alone Arma 2 or Steam Arma 2?

What servers are you trying to connect to (location, ping, versions, type)?

What client are you using to connect to servers (6launcher, Gamespy, Day Z commander)?

I think it has more to do with particular servers and the 'hive'. sometimes I get on right away, and sometimes it takes 3-5 mins

-florida

-good or great (fairly new runs everything just fine older games i can max out and get 120 FPS)

-speed is 10 megs

-i run through six, i have manually updates from the beta patch site multiple times to the newest version only to have six knock me back down to whatever the server is running, when i tried running it manually i would just -get stuck at waiting for host. (after the fourth or so attempt at manually running the beta it just started crashing when entering the game world of a server.

-stand alone

-servers with low pop and good ping mostly.

Cool cool, not a bad setup indeed.

I'd suggest clearing out your day z files out. Installing it again from scratch and this time try using Day Z Commander with filters set to max ping 100. I'm no promoter for them, but I've not had that issue connecting to Day Z since swapping 6Launcher for Day Z Commander.

Try only going for East coast servers too, 10mb net speed will go a lot further that way.
