stuck on receiving data

i tryed to wait 20 mins...still nothing :j:

i spoken with almost all server admins and no one knows how to fix this :eek: any idea? ( i had same problem on another server but it fixed with a profile change..on this server looks like it dosent works )

thanks for help

anyone ?:(

My guess is Battle eye.

even though you said you had selected everything as run as administrator.

Select your ArmA 2 and Operation Arrowhead .exe separately and select run as administrator.

This should allow them to update battle eye when you get in game,

You should then be able to connect.

Once your connected you should get a message saying that your Battle eye needs to update and will then start to do so.

After a while the update will be applied and another check should be given.

This should send back a Battle eye up to date message and you should be able to enjoy multi player again :)

I had the same sort of thing.

Some servers booted my straight back to the server screen.

Other kept me on receiving for 10 minutes (at which point I just killed the Process and started looking for a solution to the problem)

**edit**

If that doesn't work there is another way, Slightly more of a pain but should do the job if it is Battle eye causing your problems.

You need to un-install Battle eye and delete all trace files (registry entry and such)

then download the latest file from the battle eye website and reinstall.

If it's none of these then im afraid it's back to the drawing board.

But the first solution should work.

Hope this helps..

ill just reinstall all game and thats it

i got boored of trying a lot of things

i uninstalled battleye and got it again..slot problem again

anyway thanks for your help :)

[Enigma85 2]

have you updated your anti-virus recently perhaps?

if so look into that, might be blocking your port accessing the servers and visa versa.

[ciutarobert 10]

i usualy close it when playing

now i have another problem...

i got patch 1.59 but i cant install arma 2 1.09 i get

Error found in file ADDONS/Air.pbo (0000000000!=000000001)

i tryed a lot of another patches

[ciutarobert 10]

fixed it... reinstalled again

now i try to connect and ig et

Bad CD KEY

WTF :D ?

[sw1 10]

I got that when reinstalling a few months ago. I think it happens if you misenter the CD key when you're installing the game, does it say bad CD key when the game loads, or does it happen as you try to enter a server?

When this problem occured in the past BIS said you should try looking in the registry (regedit) under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - Bohemia Interactive Studio - ArmA 2 and make sure the KEY (REG_BINARY) is the same as that which is printed in the manual. If not try changing it.

For me however (in Win7-64) the BIS registry is under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - Wow6432Node - Bohemia Interactive Studio - Arma 2 OA - REG_BINARY. Either way make sure it is correct.

If that does not work you may have to reinstall A2OA. Again :D.

when i try to connect server

Isn't the key on the back of your instruction manual?

In the registry the key should be in the format xx-xx-xx, which is different to the format on the back of the manual, yet the important thing is that the characters are the same, only layed out in groups of two.

If you've reinstalled it twice though I don't know what else to suggest :( You could try e-mailing BIS perhaps?

Hey

i can let you try to do it with team viewer....i dont have to mutch experience with these things

Ah and for example lets say number its 1122-Etc

there will be 11-22?

[sw1 10]

Ah and for example lets say number its 1122-Etc

there will be 11-22?

Yeah that's right :) that's how it shows up in the registry

So was the key in the registry correct or is there an error there?

Are you running the latest version of A2OA- v1.59?

Has this problem with the server slots just started recently or has it been a problem since the first day you installed A2OA?

This may be a Securom problem, try the diagnostic tool from this site.

If nonething else works I'm happy to try team viewer, but hopefully we can work out something else

reinstalled works now

still stuck on receiving data

[Enigma85 2]

As I've said It'll most probably be battle eye.

I Had the EXACT same thing and fixed it with the steps given.

I however am running a steam version,

The best way to do it in your case would be to....

Go here http://www.battleye.com/

download the most up to date version..

Uninstall the old version and then reinstall the newest version..#

Run arma 2 and try again....

If that doesn't work then you might want to start contacting tech support at BI of something.

[sw1 10]

I agree with EnigmA, it sounds like Battleye is the problem. You may want to use a program like this (30 day trial) to completely uninstall every trace of Battleye then reinstall the latest version.

[ciutarobert 10]

tryed that program

didnt found any battleye thing with it and reinstalled

same...

[sw1 10]

Sorry I really don't know what to suggest :(

Having uninstalled Battleye you could try using the search function (for the C drive) "battleye" and making sure manually that there are no fragments left behind, before again installing.

[ciutarobert 10]

i deleted it and reinstalled..still same

/its only on this server

can it be a client-server issue?

[sw1 10]

I suppose it could be, if it's only with one server.

You could try and contact the admin.

If it's not your firewall and not Battleye, and you are running the same version and addons as the server then I don't see what else it could be :(.

[vivadiga 10]

if the server use linux the problem is your router or modem,it dont like linux servers.it happened to a my clan friend and only way is change the modem i guess.i hope this can help, gl ;)

[ciutarobert 10]

please help me :(
