Beretorn 10 Posted July 24, 2010 Ahoi, following problem, me and some friend of mine just bought OA. We played Arma 2 before and never had problems with the multiplayer (especially the coop mode, cause thats what we play the most). Usually I create a game online with a password protection (no dedicated server). Worked fine in Arma 2 -> never had any problems with that (got 5 mbit/s upload). Now with OA its totally unplayable. When we play a coop mission where we both lead a small group...he cant command his troop. his soldiers are just standing around like dummies, sometimes they answer the radio but only to say "ready". sometimes they are actually trying to run, but it looks like they are on a treadmill, they dont move a centimeter...my mate and his "dummies" are invincible aswell... his ping is around 25 to 28 and the desync is constantly 0. We tried everything: deinstalled arma 2 and OA. only reinstalled OA, tried with/without patch = always the same result. we also let him host the game (his upload is about 2 mbit/s, but i guess its enough for 2 players)...but now I was unable to command my troop. any suggestions or other players who have this problem?

Beretorn 10 Posted July 26, 2010 it happens on every mission. coop with no ded server, coop on ded server, scenario mission etc. always when a second squad is involved Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beretorn 10 Posted July 27, 2010 exactly the same, right from the start my squad is not moving. standing around like dummies...they cant be killed and they wont report anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wamingo 1 Posted July 27, 2010 probably dumb questions but... Do either of you have any problems when joining public servers or anyone else? Tried disabling windows or other firewall/AV/maybe more? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack_Ryan_ 10 Posted July 27, 2010 Are you both using legit, purchased copies of the games? Maybe its that anti-cheat thing? just a thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beretorn 10 Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) Firewall and Av deactivated, both versions are totally legit... edit: its basically like in this youtube video except that it effects only the other squad and that the bots still reply to the radio. at the moment we are only able to play small coop missions so that we are both members of one squad.

Perhaps you could try playing with someone else. Next time you make a COOP Campaign session, set the game to public and wait for someone to join. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
