Multiplayer servers on both game versions inaccessible.

Description

I've tried to join several different servers on development and normal versions without even reaching a menu. It is stuck on the loading screen and doesn't show any loading progress at all. I can't even hear any sounds that usually follow loading into a game, such as the water or insects. Verifying integrity of the game cache in Steam didn't work. {F19742}

No issues hosting a server, but joining others still doesn't work.

hey Condemned

Did you try reverting to STABLE BRANCH and then back to DEV?
If not, try it as it used to fix things in the past.

Also Remember that some people still DID NOT update their Servers to the Latest Build.

Sincerely
Lt Lyko

I stated in the description that I did that with no success.

I don't see it up there but that's ok.

Hope you're going to get the issue resolved.

First sentence: "I've tried to join several different servers on development and normal versions without even reaching a menu."

Me too.

Got same problem on regular Alpha. Stuck in loading screen. Group chat fades, chatter contiues, but otherwise nothing. Sometimes I'll get Can't connect, other times i get kicked off the game(?). I never entered in the first place... This puzzles me as I have no problem playing online on Arma 2 or on other games. It just started happening today.

Edit: Can be a problem with Steam. Try to verify cache. If it doesn't work, the problem most likely lies with steam and not the game. I had to rename a file in the Steam folder, 'ClientRegistry.blob', and re-verify, and the problem went away.

Mass closing ancient tickets with no activity for > 12 months; assume fixed or too trivial.

If this issue is still relevant in current dev build, please re-post.
