Noone can connect to my server (wait for host)

[Brainspackle 0]

I followed the instructions to a T and noone can connect to my server, just get the "wait for host" screen. The other odd thing I'm noticing is that everytime someone does try to connect, it says "x has a modified data file." I'm not sure if that is related to the issues I'm having though.

I am running on latest version of the beta patch and the latest dayz . I've also ruled out it being a firewall issue.

Anyone have any suggestions for me? :/

Hey Brainspackle,

Your IP is probably not yet whitelisted, wait 30-60 minutes and try again.

Would it even show up in the list if it wasn't whitelisted?

Edit: The client area claims it is whitelisted too.

I hope it is as easy as that though, I've been fighting this thing for a few hours now!

Try connecting to it and stay in the main lobby. My server doesn't start the mission until 1 person is connected. Check your server log and see what happens after you connect.

It doesn't even get to the lobby, I think it's getting hung up before that. There's also nothing interesting in the logs :(

Appreciate the suggestions though!

Had some difficulties after last weekend, too. Not sure if it fits your problem. - BE kick before Lobby or waiting for host / loading infinitely.

Anyways, check if there is any discrepancy in Arma2 Versions of Clients and Server

and if enforcing correct version. - http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php

Also check if using the right BattlEye client.dll - http://www.battleye.com/download.html

-There's one for older beta and one for the more recent ones.

Arma game server browser did not show BattlEye as active until i had the correct client.dll

glhf and feedback if solved.

Thanks guys for the suggestions, unfortunately though, none of it seems to help. Battleeye seems fine, versions match, etc... I even deleted everything and went through the instructions again with the same results. I spent my entire Saturday wrestling with this thing, I think I'm giving up now.

Mine has been up for 12 hours. Are they manually whitelisting the servers?
