Ok, searched these forums for it but was unable to find a similar issue.

I have recently re-installed ArmaII, ArmaII:OA, BAF, and PMC through steam. I enter the game by clicking on OA which prompts the message offering to connect through Combined Operations. I click it and can join almost every server available.... however, once I've downloaded the mission file, it goes the the entry screen, then displays "wait for host" and kicks me back to the server lobby.

It does this for every single server on the list, just spent about 30mins trying the first 50ish. I've been playing OA for a long time now and recently took a break. Came back and encountered the "CA Wheeled vehicles" message and was unable to join CTI servers. So I reinstalled everything and now launch through Combined Operations in order to mitigate that, however I am now unable to get past the "waiting for host" message on every single server!

Any suggestions??? (Firewall turned off, everything is up to date)

What about mods! your using any mods? and is your game fully patched?

No mods... and yes it is 1.59, everything is up to date! This problem is so random I don't know where else to look, and I doubt reinstalling after a reinstall will work.
