Game freezes when joining server

[liquidsword 0]

I've double checked that the mod is installed correctly and I've verified the game files in steam. Dayz files are up to date. Everytime I join a server the game freezes when the player list shows up and it shows my name with 0ms next to it. It does not CTD, just stops responding. There has been two times when it hasn't froze, but I just get stuck at receiving data. I bought arma today to play this mod and its really frustrating. Can anyone help?

It seems like there is a lot of this going on, it's been happening for me ever since the 1.5.4 update. But given the amount of threads that have been started about this, I'm positive there will be a fix in the next update.

I deleted the mod and tried joining a server with the base game and the game froze on the mulitplayer setup screen. So it seems to be a issue with my game or system. Really frustrated. Tried reinstall and the same thing is happening in the base game and dayz. If anyone has seen this problem please help me.

Looked through the Community Issue Tracker to try and find something. I've been trying to fix for several hours. The game is unplayable online with the base game or any mods. I might try to get a refund from steam. I'm giving up for now but if anyone knows how to fix this please help me.
