cucu (DayZ) 8 Posted July 31, 2012 Yes, this is another "stuck at wait for host" thread. I am tired to reading through all the different variations of this problem. I wasted a lot of time just reading about completely unrelated issues and useless solutions.DayZ was working fine for me. I did a fresh windows 7 install, installed Arma2 CO via steam. Started up for a first time both Arma2 and Arma 2OA. Both work.- copied the DayZ 1.7.2.3 files to their place. (same as on my laptop)- updated the game to 1.62- installed beta patch (not the very latest, but the same which I had running on my laptop)- created the shortcut (same as on my laptop, same path for installation):"D:\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -nosplash -noFilePatching -showScriptErrors "-name=myname" "-mod=d:\steam\steamapps\common\arma 2;expansion;@DayZ"I can start the game, see the server list in multiplayer but as soon as I click any one of them, I get the black screen with "wait for host" and nothing else happens. Tried on more servers, it's the same.I am sure the problem is with my installation but I cannot find it. I did exactly the same way as I installed it a while ago on my laptop, and there it's working. Also tried installing the latest updated: 1.7.2.4 and the latest beta patch. Same results.Please help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cucu (DayZ) 8 Posted August 1, 2012 This is really getting annoying. On my laptop it's working but on my freshly installed pc it fails to start when I log in to any server. I am sure I am missing something. Besides up to date drivers, directx, arma patch, beta patch, dayz file, is there anything else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cucu (DayZ) 8 Posted August 2, 2012 Well this was pointless. To be honest I had higher expectations from this community but it turns out that although at any give time there are thousands of people here, no one is giving any useful advice. I found more answers from external sources rather than from here. This place seems full of frustrated children rather than helpful members. Shame on you dayz community!I will try to reply with the same answer I got, I will keep the solution for myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Animeninja00 2 Posted August 5, 2012 To be honest, You sound like a frustrated child. I found this thread looking for answers and just had to create an account to let you know how much you sound like a child. And the keeping the answer to yourself instead of trying to help is something a child would do.aybe no one knew the solution to your problem. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
