Unable to join specific servers

[forfoon 2]

Hi, I've been playing DayZ for a little over one week now. Up until now I haven't really cared about not being able to join certain servers (specifically the high population servers). Now, since I've finally been able to acquire end-game items, I've been trying to get into servers with 30+ people. For the majority, I get stuck in loading forever. I figure it would just take like 20 minutes or so because of the amount of players on the server, but now I dont believe that that's the case. Off the top of my head I can think of the "717 Fat Farm" server and plenty of Seattle servers. These servers peak at over 50 or so players sometimes and I simply cant connect to them (I know it's basically suicide going into these servers haha).

edit: version + beta patch is up to date (though i was allowed to join a 1.7.2.4 game with version 1.7.2.5, weird)

Try other servers

Thanks boss

(hopefully a programmer or someone thats knows anything about this will be able to tell me what is wrong with the server / any files i have in my folders)

Do you match server's beta and dayz version? I've been experiencing the same problem because my game is patched up do date and most of the servers aren't...

Do you match server's beta and dayz version?

Yeah I do, I figure it's just some sort of file I don't have matching up with server's

--- I've updated my beta-patch and DayZ version recently to 95883 and 1.7.2.5 and the same few servers that I've been trying (the ones that have also updated to 1.7.2.5) still don't load, if that is even the issue here. I still think it goes deeper than just trying new servers :o

Try to manually update BattleEye files.

I think that's what I do :o. I don't patch with Six Updater. I manually swap files etc...
