Waiting for character to create

[Skaldik 0]

I just installed arma 2 + AO + mod. Everything looks as it's supposed to as far as the installation guide goes but whenever I try to join a DayZ server though I seem to get into the server it kicks me out somehow showing me the server list again and in the background is "waiting for character to create".

I was wondering if the servers are just overloaded (since it's friday night) or if it's my bad.

EDIT: I kinda fixed it. I reinstalled the BattleEye Anticheat via Steam (rightclick on OA and select the option) and it works now. But I'm completly lost. I've nerver even seen such aweful controls -.- I'm gonna try to really play the game tomorrow though. Everythings should look better in daylight...

I have also been experiencing this for 3 days :-/

try using the six launcher to keep all your files up to date, as this is the main reason I experience this problem. Also, it helps to look through the keybinds and get an idea of what does what when you first start, I reset my keybinds to what is intuitive for me, which is esdf instead of wasd so I have my fingers on the keyboard the way it was designed (wasd never made sense to me). Also, moving over lets you have extra keybinds. I think resetting my keybinds helped me get the controls a lot better. Anyways, good luck.
