I've got this exact same issue. I've tried everything conventional, but i'd love suggestions and ideas. I am pretty much in the exact same situation as the poster and from what I've read a full reinstall won't do the trick. I played both ArmA 2 and OA fine every single day until today after doing an ALT+F4 during a constant Receiving screen, now I can't connect to Multiplayer. I'm using an Nvidia GTX 470.

Inc_Cat 0 Posted August 5, 2010 I got the same issue!!?? All worked fine last night.. no game freez when entering multiplayer lobby.. and then no servers listed. Try to refresh.. another freez.. then still no servers.. Only change to the system is that I installed Starcraft... but that should not have made any changes to Arma Arrowhead??
