Arma Locks Up on Joining Server

Hi all, yesterday my Arma was mostly working fine but the first time I tried to connect to the server it locked up at the charcoal-grey connecting screen. Today, it locks up every time...

Symptom: Game launches fine, can launch editor etc fine, but when trying to connect to public it briefly pops up the connecting messages in chat and then goes to the charcoal grey stripy screen saying "ARMA"... and locks up. If left alone, players on server report I've been kicked for a steam ticket verification failure (null).

Attempted remedies: restarted Arma, computer, verified game cache, checked repository, deleted a bunch of mods and redownloaded them, deleted the cur_mp mission cache.


RPT doesn't appear to be very helpful. Most of the attempts have produced a 141kb RPT:

but twice in a row it instead produced a 142kb RPT with a very odd last line:

Halp?

That is a weird one Rpt is as you say not that helpful, the default server data thing is odd too. Tag me when I'm in Ts tomorrow and we can see if you can connect to the private server.

Ta Diz, should be early evening if that's okay?

Yeah, no worries.

Is it just the public this happens on why don't you try one of the other servers as well

I can connect to vanilla servers, however I just noticed that the "Expansions" list (game+addons)  on the right in the server browser is blank for the Public but populated for the other servers I checked?

If you load arma with A3sync on the public repo. Is it loading your mods? Main menu -> configure -> expansions (I think) will bring up all the mods you have running. Just an idiot check that they're loaded.

Although the expansions tab in the server browser should still show the mods the mission uses.

His rpt shows that the mods are loaded (line 3), although it looks like pastebin is truncating long lines as it ends "-mod=D:\Arma"
If that is correct it is a problem.

Try hastebin?

The rpt itself ends that line with  so it's not pastebin truncating. Arma itself truncates rpt lines afaik, so it probably just reached the max there.
