l mandrake 9 Posted June 3, 2009 For me, it happens mostly when the game is running, I have more success to connect when the server is waiting in the lobby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StarSoft Cow 0 Posted June 3, 2009 My friends and I only get it when one of us is hosting a game. There are no problems when joining dedicated servers, just the client servers. Sometimes they can join, sometimes they can't, its very random. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sickboy 13 Posted June 3, 2009 It doesn't happen anymore on our server (to my knowledge), since I disabled the network adapter connected to LAN (without gateway setup though). Now there is only a single network adapter enabled, hooked directly to Internet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadowclaw 10 Posted June 3, 2009 Strange. I never had this problem in Arma 2 and i have a WLAN Router. Really is some odd case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turkmenbashi 0 Posted June 3, 2009 Does this happen: - on all servers, on some servers only, which one do you experience it with for sure? All servers. It happens alot more on client servers, but still occurs on dedicated servers. Usually if you keep trying to connect you will eventually get in. I noticed that if I input the wrong password for a client server I was getting this consistently but was then able to connect after 1/2 retries with the correct password. - during Join in progress only or also when the session is in the lobby? Both. - with all missions / some missions - in which mission have you seen it? All missions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bebul 0 Posted June 8, 2009 Adding to this list. People I've played with, around 7-8 all have trouble connecting to various servers. Happens most with client servers but also occasionally with dedicated servers, you'll join and it will get stuck on the black 'Joining' screen and requires you to end the process to get off it. If you try to connect enough times eventually you seem to be able to get in. We have found the reason and it will be fixed in the Patch 1.02. The Patch 1.01 for German version is able to use key ESC to leave the connecting to server in its "black screen" phase so reconnecting can be done much faster at least. The problem happens only when connecting to servers behind firewalls (NAT). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anc 0 Posted June 8, 2009 This also happens with me and some friends, but we are able to joing the server while the hoster awaits us at the mission start up map. When he starts the mission and await for us in the map. before starting the mission. Best regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem happens only when connecting to servers behind firewalls (NAT). Might be only a confirmation or otherwise hopefully helpful; Also happened when a 2nd NIC was connected to a LAN. So 1st NIC was directly on public internet.No NAT, though still the connection issue. Disabled the 2nd connection, problem gone. Dedicated Server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
