When you say it stops - does the game actually freeze, or does it seem like it just stops? The AUTH server that the mod uses gets hammered 24/7, all I'd say is have a *bit* of patience and just let it load. Sit back and listen to some music and let it load - it will get there eventually.

I watched 2 episodes of Burn Notice while receiving data. (American TV show that has a 45 minute runtime) and it didn't move an inch. I think it's safe to say it was stuck.

I am having the exact same problem. I just bought the game yesterday (yes the expansion as well) and was looking forward to playing today. Maybe I'm just not setting something up right. My purchase was through steam if that makes a difference. Does it stop here: http://imgur.com/6Qr91#.T5xZkHdOia8.link That's where it stops for me.

Having the EXACTLY same problem. It even gets stuck at the same spot. As well, I have the game through steam as well and it used to work fine. Now if the modders would just stop breaking everything.

sometimes it stops like that to me. Just reconnect. I dont know what causes it tho.

Two most common reasons for this scenario:

1. Your client passed a null-object to the server as your player avatar. This can happen either because of an outdated dayz file, or more rarely because of a poor initialization of the mission (it has sent the message to authenticate before it has created your avatar).

2. The authentication was not processed. The server is designed to abandon difficult or problematic requests, so that it doesn't hang. It will try ten times to authenticate you, and if it can't, it will give up.

In both cases, the best thing to do is to reconnect. Restarting ArmA can help greatly with initialization issues.
