ARMA 2: OA beta build 94997 (1.61 MP build)

[ARMA 2: OA beta build 94997 (1.61 MP build)]

I had this issue on my server(s). Fixed it for now by creating a new profile (1:1 copy&paste from the old profile, just changed the name to something longer)

1. ArmA 2 (Retail DVD) + Arrowhead (Sprocket) + BAF (Sprocket) + PMC (Sprocket)

2. Windows 7 x64

3. C:\Users\BTK\Documents\ArmA 2\BTK.ArmA2OAProfile

4. Sure.

More details:

- I do not get a kicked message at all.

- I do get stuck on either "Wait for Host" or "Joining game..."

- So I go back to server browser using ESC

- It takes about a minute until my ghost disconnects after that

I had this exact problem when trying to connect to non 94799 servers. I filtered my servers by 94799 and was able to connect to them all just fine. It would seem that something was changed that is not allowing backwards compatibility anymore.
