Ok Six Launcher, why?

[wheatimus 6]

Ok. Firstly here's my specs

Arma II/OA retail thru gamersgate.

all patched up, beta at 95208.

I can play on some servers via Dayz Commander launcher.

But here is my problem. Whenever I use six launcher or six updater to try and join a server, it doesn't matter if it is half full, 1 person, empty or full, I always get stuck at the first "waiting on host".

**READ THIS LINE!* YES THE SERVERS SAY THEY ARE UPDATED TO 95208 *READ THIS LINE**

I am up to date with everything, like I said, dayz commander launches fine for most servers it shows me, but I want to use six launcher. DC only gives me about 3 to 4 servers I can actually join(since you can't go back from 95208...grrr) and even then only shows me about 10 max. Six launcher shows me thousands, but the last 20 I attempted to join(all over the world, not just in USA) they all say "waiting on host" and never go from there.

maybe I should switch my parameters back, right now its

-nosplash -skipIntro --cpuCount=6

Any one have any advice for me? Its not my router, I've tried with no security at all, didn't fix it. Its not my antivirus, tried it with it turned off.

Just out of curiosity, what makes you not want to use dayz commander?

it only shows me like 10 servers, and only 5 or so of them are joinable, as I said in my post. Six launcher actually shows me thousands of servers...but I can't join any of them, I've never been able to play at all with six launcher...but I want to play on US servers. Dayz Commander only shows 1 US server occasionally but its never joinable, I play on UK and DE servers. 110+ms ping on the regular -_-'

Has that been going on for a week straight now? Ever since I got Dayz Commander its been like that, not just recently like yesterday or today. Dayz Commander is my goto launcher to play, I do like using it, I just wish it'd show more servers. Cause honestly, six launcher just annoys me half the time, but I want the server selection six launcher offers, just wish it worked like Dayz Commander does as far as not being too difficult to actually play the game with.

I have still yet to successfully enter a server with six launcher, brings my total tried servers to just over 30 I think, from all over the world, all of which SAY they are up to date, running my beta and game versions, but I always get stuck at waiting for host. Servers can be populated or empty, even checked the status on some and supposedly they were up.

And before anyone says I just didn't give it enough time, I sat there for at least 5 minutes for each server at waiting for host. Where as Dayz Commander I'm there for no more than a minute or two, and I'm able to play.

Send me a screenshot please. Also try deleting the c:\users\[youruser]\appdata\local\dayzcommander directory while dayzcommander is NOT running..

I didn't delete it, just because it only has 1 file in it, settings. I will delete it if you think it will help, but is that single file what you think might be in there causing it? or ?

So does anyone else have any input for me? I can't even play with my clan on their server, six launcher sees their server, I know they're on it and what versions it and I have. I get stuck at waiting for host every time with six launcher. It sucks i can't play with them, cause their server doesn't exist in the multiplayer server selection. Even if I use filter to search only for its ip and port. I NEED to fix this so I can play with my mates.

EDIT:

I even tried using shortcut startup parameters -connect=108.61.10.13 -port=2000 (not the actual ip/port I'm trying to connect too, its my clans public server I'm not putting the address out there). Someone has to know something about this

UPDATED INFORMATION:

I'm running 1.62 Arma II. both Arma II and OA are fully up to date.

I'm running beta patch 95248 to try and play on my clans server, so far I get stuck at waiting for host.

DayZ Mod is version 1.7.2.3

I have tried the most up to date beta patches, even letting six launcher download and install them and still ANY server I try to join via six launcher I get stuck at waiting for host.
