HecticOne

Thank you! I actually did try that (several times) without luck. However, I did find a solution to my problem. I started a new thread and posted what worked for me there. Here is the link to that thread:

***** Solved ***** I found a forum post, which I will provide a link for below, that advised finding my AppData folder and deleting the MPmissionCache folder. I did this and was able to successfully log in to the server. I shutdown arma 3 and was able to log in, again, without issue. Here is the link to the forum post I found. http://www.506thir.net/forums/index.php?topic=2870.0

I have tried many times to join my home exile server. To start: I was not able to make it past the "connecting" screen, earlier today. I understand this was for all players on all exile servers. However, once that was "fixed". Now when I try to join I get one of 2 things happen. I either get a memory error and game crashes or the game appears to "load" but then puts me back to the Arma 3 server menu after 15-30 seconds of trying to join. A friend said that in-game it will show (when I try and join) " Hectic connecting " - " Hectic uses modified data file" - 20 sec - " Hectic connected " - " Hectic disconnected " Here is what I have tried so far: Downloading and installing a recommended "performance update". Verify the integrity of game files through steam. Verify all (pertinent) mods through A3 launcher. And many other "recommended" fixes from various forums. Uninstalled/Reinstalled Arma 3 Uninstalled?reinstalled A3Launcher Deleted/Reinstalled Arma 3 mods Any help would be greatly appreciated. thx P.S. This happens on all exile servers, that I have tried.

Full disclosure... I joined the Blackhearts Community recently. That being said. The server is very well run. I have played in many servers on many different mods from Arma 2 and now on Arma 3. The admins here are very active, helpful, and decent people. This is not a common thing, in my experience. Most servers there are hardly admins on them at all. Most servers are rampant with people griefing other players in safe zones and/or using known exploits or glitches. You will not find this on this server. Anyone doing these things is dealt with swiftly (provided there is proof or server logs to validate claims). Just my opinion on what really makes or breaks a server... the people that run it. If you are looking for a server that is tastefully modded and an active (mature) community. Give this a try... you will be glad you did.

Well, I am no longer stuck on connecting. However, when I try and join a server it kicks me to server menu, after a few seconds. Any suggestions? **** Solved ****
