Keep getting stuck at "Loading" screen

[LooNiE 3]

Me and my friends have been trying to get into our favorite server, but every time we join, it gets stuck at the second loading screen. Where is says "Loading" in green. I was wondering if this is happening to anyone else, and is there a way to fix it?

Have you updated to 1.7.2.5? It has to be done manually and not through six launcher.

But is installing the test patch really relevant for this imo odd issue of everlasing "loading" message?

I was hoping I could avoid installing the 1.7.2.5 test patch.

There are dozens, if not billions, of threads regarding this exact issue since this past weekend alone.

You will see several posts with full step-by-step explanations on how to ATTEMPT to fix this.

They are all different.

If you are still having trouble, please take note of your mod version, your beta version, and the versions (of both) of the servers you are having problems on, and we'll see if we can help you from there.

Good luck!

I have just seen this problem with friends trying to join servers with the wrong DayZ version. After they update it's ok.
