Stuck on loading AND spawning on the coast SOLUTION.

[Inception. 9443]

Now, we all know how annoying both of those things can be.

But there is a fix.

YOU MUST LET BATTLEYE FIRST UPDATE BEFORE CLICKING 'OK'.

When joining a lobby, DO NOT CLICK 'OK' STRAIGHT AWAY. Stay there for a bit, until in the bottom left corner you see this message:

"BattlEye Client: Server requiring client version ___. Up-to-date"

The photo below shows that [as seen in the red box]. Most of the time you shall see the other two messages, but if not, THAT DOES NOT MATTER.

WARNING: Joining servers that are running a different DayZ version to you WILL get you stuck on loading. The solution I have provided does NOT apply to this.

Now, what happens when you do this, but still get stuck on loading? [SELDOM SHALL YOU GET STUCK ON LOADING ON SERVERS THAT ARE RUNNING THE SAME DAYZ VERSION AS YOU IF YOU USE THIS FIX, BUT IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES].

DO NOT CLOSE YOUR CLIENT. If you want to avoid getting spawned on the coast, open up a new DayZ game WITHOUT closing your other one. Most of the time this works.

NOTE: Some servers have LONG loading times. BUT, this is only when they are on the loading screen that DOES NOT have the green bar. If you are stuck on the loading screen WITH the green bar, see former paragraph.

This works for me, so it shall maybe work for you. Let's see.

EDIT: In the photo below, ignore the blacked out stuff. That was a server message from a previous server.

Confirmed. I got stuck several times, then i realized if i waited for some seconds in the player pool/lobby, it would load properly.

Nice time to bump, you should have labeled it I quit and you would have 1000 views.
