Is BIS looking after the "receiving..." issue?

[Pakito]

My arma 2 worked fine on 1.03, but my computer was a bit slow, so I formated. Installed exactly how I had it before. And now arma 2 just gives me this 'receiving' error on multiplayer.

GREAT!!!!!!

black magic?

[Rodders28]

actually, the only thing I did different. was before I was 1.01, then 1.02 then 1.03

Now I went 1.01 to 1.03

Perhaps that did it?

I tried multiplayer yesterday for the first time and after less than 30 minutes I got the flashing receiving screen of death. Hopefully BIS gets this fixed for real in next patch (my hopes aren't very high though).

I know that I am simply another comment on this site, but hey, every grain of sand makes a beach, so here it is. I get the receiving black screen of death as well and we would love for you guys to get back to us with at least acknowledgement that you are on to the problem and that it will be fixed as quickly as possible. There, wasn't that easy.

For BIS info:

Since 1.03 I've been getting the black screen and 'Receiving' dialog during MP gaming. It returns me back to the game once it's reset the driver. I have not altered any of the graphics settings since 1.02. I have updated to the ATI Catalyst 9.8 drivers however.

Edit

Just had a CTD but this time from the .rpt:

Problem was solved for me when I installed Windows 7 x64. On Win7 x86(32) bug exist.
Have anyone "receiving" bug on 64 bit operation system?

Well, yes see my post above.

[BF2_Trooper]

Getting endless Recieving screen loops during MP games in which I'm the only player and in MP missions that are quite small. Seems to be happening to me frequently ever since 1.03.

[Cornstar]

Have this bug as well, worse than in 1.02 it seems. Game is basically unplayable. Still. Can't be arsed to try every silly suggestion made in these forums, most of them don't seem to work anyways. Can't be arsed to be constructive either. Just plain disgusted with this game.

Bump!, not been able to play the game since 1.03, Bohemia are effectively violating the statutory terms of my purchase as they have broken my game through an update needed for me to access Multi Player, not like it was not broken to begin with.

Just fix this in 1.04 and i will be extremely happy.

I'll have to agree with this. They've effectively broken my multiplayer with 1.03.
