Hi, When I die (a frequent occurrence) in Domination I get a black screen, no view of my dead body, no map, no nothing including no option to respawn. I can hit esc to get to the Arma 3 main menu to abort etc, but that's annoying. It only happens in Dom, not in other MP missions and it seems other players on the server don't have this problem. Can anyone offer some advice? Someone in-game said I should delete the local files for the server/mission, not sure where these are stored? Any help appreciated. Cheers Edit - weirdly, I can still fire weapons when dead, though I can't see anything. Not sure if this helps with diagnosis.

Hi, Looking for help... I can't join any Arma 3 server on a new install on my desktop. The servers I've been trying have green light and low ping (<50), and Steam is on online mode. When I try to join, it waits a couple of seconds, screen goes black and then kicks me back out to the server list with no error message. Previously had the problem of trying to join a server, waiting for several minutes, and then getting the msg 'You were kicked from the game'. I uninstalled and reinstalled yesterday, don't have that problem anymore. At least now I don't have to wait to be disappointed. All the while, I can get on to servers with no problem on my laptop. If it helps, laptop install was an upgrade from alpha, desktop is a clean beta install. Don't particularly want to reinstall again if I don't have to. Any help is appreciated. ---------- Post added at 12:04 ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 ---------- Never mind... problem solved. For any noobs like me, Steam can verify if your install is okay. Go to Games Library, right click on Arma 3 Beta, then Properties, click the Local Files tab, then click 'Verify integrity of game cache'. It will check your install and download anything that isn't right. Fixed it for me. Yay!
