Loading forever fixed!!... Manually updating 1.7.2.5 works for me

[JimmyMeatsock 7]

This title will hopefully reach all those frustrated players watching the loading screen. Following the advice from scavenger from another post i downloaded the torrent from http://dayzmod.com/f...rolling-update/ installed the files manually and voila! it worked. I had previously reinstalled battle eye and validated my arma files but no luck. I think six updater definately rolls you back to the last version. My dayz had worked but i think id accidently started six updater instead of dayz commander and this where the problems started. I hope this helps.

I always do it manually this time it hasn't worked... I am going to delete all my files and try again hopefully it will help.

Im sorry man id hoped id found the magical solution.

I still see posts about people using six launcher which presently rolls u back to 1.7.2.4 and wondering why they cant connect. A lot of people seem to be having success using dayz commander and im sure now its a wrong version thing. When i manually updated i went back to 3 or 4 mins loading and everything was back to normal. My process was ..delete dayz folder, use six launcher to download the update, validate integrity of game cache for arma 2 and arma CO, (repaired one file in each), (i tried no success at this point), reboot, then i went to the besetup folder and reinstalled battleeye, (tried again no success), then downloaded the torrent for 1.7.2.5, downloaded that, ran it and pasted the contents into my the folder in my dayz directory and then it finally worked. Back to normal. No more loading, and im back to playing, wondering when im gunna get hacked again.

Well here is the thing:

1. Servers should not have updated to 1.7.2.5 anyways because Rocket asked to not do it.

2. SIX Launcher doesn't serve 1.7.2.5 because we've explicitly asked to not do so.

3. The 1.7.2.5 is so buggy that they're working on the next patch and will roll that out to the broad public

Same here, works periodically but 8 times out of 10 i get stuck on loaiding with the bar above the text "loading" (as opposed to the bar with just dayz background), manual updated always here and using armaII launcher (which wouldnt affect it anyway)
