You know some people have a regular server with a clan.... !

ok i have no solution for you, but here is what i have learned so far:

there are some stages, how i call it, while connecting on a server

1. there is the receiving file, mostly it's shown 41KB in size. if it takes forever i mostly disconnect there, no sense in waiting 10 minutes longer

2. when it's loaded it changes to black background and says "waiting for character to create". here is where i wait mostly 20-30 seconds until i disconnect from that server. due to the long loading time it's very common to get stuck there.

3. after that you get to the "loading". thats the part where you can't "esc" out anymore, so if it takes too long here (i wait here max 3-5 minutes) you should alt+tab (or alt f4) and force exit the game.

by observing and comparing different servers you can quickly learn which one is causing problems and which is very fast and fun to play on. keeping a favorite servers list in the long run, especially when you have acquired some tents or vehicles, pays off quickly, cause you waste less time stucking in the loading screen.

It doesn't matter that other servers work, I'm part of a clan, with a home server and me and 1 other clanmate (out of 15 regulars) get stuck on infinite loading.

I don't want to play on others servers.

also do you know a good server like that

connecting to a server seems a bit of a gamble atm, some work and some don't. It's starting to piss me off quite badly

ya dont say

[Humanhead 6]

i use DayZ Commander, it's a great launcher which can track your recent servers and also has a favorite list. Six Launcher has favorites too (click on the star), but no extra tab only for favorites...

The reason you try a different server is to allow you game client to load up and get you into a map, have you attempted a different server, and then tried to access your clan server?

-

gearhead1309 did you purchase your game via steam? I did this trick today not to sure if it worked or not, however I was able to get into a game, firstly verify the game cache on steam in administrator mode and then one done close it down go to were it installed in steam and go to the BEsetup and click on the executable that should the give you a checkfile list do this for ARMA 2 and ARMA 2 operation arrowhead then restart steam in admin mode and try connect again.
