Cannot connect since new Beta update

[Ra-USMC 10]

My apologies if I missed this some where. After the new Beta update I can launch ARMA III however when I go to connect to ANY multiplayer map I get stuck in the splash screen. Within about 2-4 minutes of this I will get a message saying I have been kicked out of the server. I do not have any addon installed that would not allow me to connect.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Are you in default or development branch?

Your firewall is configured? (port used by servers)

Do you launch Steam as administrator?

I have a shortcut on my desktop that launches the game and opens steam simultaneously. I have done this since day one of Alpha with no issue. I have never had any issues with firewall configurations. This literally happened right after I downloaded the new version for Beta. I can launch the game just fine, I can go into the editor fine and I can even "view" the available servers. It's just when I click to connect on any given server it goes into the typical launch splash screen and never goes anywhere from there. I have not changed one thing configuration wise on my system.
