ArmA 2: OA freezes when I click on the multiplayer tab.

[mickeyFour 0]

Just as my topic says, when I try to launch DayZ (manual installation) my game will freeze when I click on multiplayer. It will just say "Receiving..." and I have to Alt+F4. I know that the game is installed correctly as I've manually installed it roughly 7 times now (for myself and friends). I just got new computer equipment so I'm unsure if it's an issue involving the new build.

When I tried running the game with Six-Updater every server on the list had 9999 ping (no matter how long I waited and how many times I refreshed). When I tried joining a server it worked. The game ran smoothly and everything ran as expected, but being as stubborn as I am I'd like to remove Six-Updater and be able to play with the manual installation again.

So again, when I launch the game I click the multiplayer tab (which will show the list of servers) and the game just freezes. Anyone have any knowledge or a solution to this? Thanks.

(In case anyone is curious.) My Specs:

ASRock Z77 Extreme6 - Mobo

Intel i7 3770k Quad-Core 3.5GHz - CPU

Radeon HD 6870 - GPU

G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 1600 - RAM

Corsair 650TX - PSU

Well, I solved my own problem. It turns out that it was just a firewall issue.
