ARMA connection problems

[CanisDEK]

I am trying to connect to MP servers and everything goes fine until the "Empfangen Daten" screen where it just stops. Not crash or anything, I can move the mouse and use ESC to cancel... but I don't get into the game.

Anyone know what can cause this.

I am not behind a router and all ports are open. Windows firewall is not blocking ARMA either.

Nvidia Nforce 4 chipset
Onboard AC97 sound card
Athlon X2 3800+
GeForce 7900 GTX 512MB
2GB RAM

Please help, I haven't been able to connect to any servers today.

Yesterday I could.

I joined a server and got an error message about missing a dll (perhaps the message was gone really fast)...

That MAY have caused this.

IF I need to reinstall and run the patch, what will happend to my campaign save game?

your save games will still be there, dont worry. did you already try to forward external udp port 2302 to internal udp port 2304? i think this did the job for me.

You dont have to forward anything if you dont run a server, check my latest post here;

Reinstall solved it... but I would like to know what the problem is. I haven't modified the game in any way, no language patch or anything. And I have applied the 1.01 patch.

Anyone have any idea what happened? Could it be a server with custom game type scripts that messed up my game?
