still cannot connect
« on: July 30, 2015, 01:08:41 AM »
ok after the other night with the famous BattleEye blooper i ended up with a bunch of corrupt files having all sorts of problems, soooo i decided just to remove and reinstall everything. I did get back to the point where i get into the server but i just keep locking up then after just a few seconds i get the infamous red broken chain and lose connection with server. Maybe an admin could take a peak and see what kind of error i might be getting to make me lose connection or anykind of help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I WILL BE BACK lol sooner or later

Shovel, the only message I see on the server console is where you connect, verify guid and disconnect. Usually the players gets more info on the disconnect message. Can you get into other servers? Have you tired verifying cache files through steam? If not, pull up your steam library and right click on the arma2, aramaOA and dayz mod files to get menu and click on properties then click on the verify files tab. If you delete local content, you will have to re-download the entire game so dont do that if you can help it.

Once verified, the game  is supposed to replace corrupt files on the next attempt at connection. It may disconnect you from the game to download the needed files. Maybe this is whats happening and it just needs some download time with the game open to make things right. Also a slower connection bugs the ftp and has a harder time getting the replacement files.

Just a thought.
