i GET exactly the same problem (with black screen and "receiving" in middle) and the only way i can get out is by pressing ctrl+alt+dlt and closing arma. except my problem happens with both single player and multilayer, but much much more often in multilayer. it happens at least once every 30 minutes and i have to restart the game. ITS REALLY ANNOYING!!!!
this happens every time i step into a car, chopper, looking at map, or going in an area with a lot of textures
someone please help i just bought the game and there is no way i will enjoy it if this bug keeps happening
