Unable to respawn?

[izzythefool 1]

New player, just installed tonight. Had fun on my first play, and eventually died. Here's the rub, whenever I go to another server, my char spawns dead and I'm staring at the sky with a green circle/white hour glass. I am unable to hit any keys. Esc, tab, nothing works. I have tried over 5 servers, and get the same result on each one. The only way out is to alt-tab from the game and force close. Am I missing something? Why am I not getting a new character?

Oh you are unconsious. You have to wait it out. It stays with you even if you change server.

yeah, basically you are not dead... you are dead when it tells you (you'll know when this happens), stick it out and you'll regain consciousness.

same thing is happening to me....on every server i join. so, how long are we supposed to "stick it out"? i waited for 23 minutes, staring at the exact same screen izzy said he was looking at. does it take longer than that to regain consciousness?

in addition, my blood level is always 418.006. i never recover and have to kill arma 2 via task mgr to leave the game, since the keys don't respond once my character is in this unconscious state.
