Coop Campaign Lag Issues and Bugs

[kozzy420 21]

Hello, first off wanted to say I love this game, got it ages ago and did alot of coop on dedicated servers with 20 people usually, and also some singleplayer campaign and user made missions.

But two of my friends just got this game and they asked about COOP CAMPAIGN together? I said that I hadnt tried the coop campaign yet, but that the singleplayer campaaign was fun enough.

So we went to try the coop campaign online with me and two friends...

The first few levels worked fine... in the mountains, then in the big city with the sniper,etc... but then after that when things open up and you can go about the mission how ever you want (we have to find two people thru out the map), things really have started to act up alot.

We get some ridicolous lag, no matter who is hosting it. We all have pretty good internet connection speeds and computers but it doesnt seem to matter.

The online games I try on my own work fine. Weither its domination or seige or other coop modes with 20-40 people, it works well no lag or issues.

But as soon as we try this big mission in COOP CAMPAIGN, man does it lag and cause some problems.

Anyone else have any issues like this? I went into a coop game on a dedicated server after all this lag and it worked great and I asked people "Has anyone had any lag in COOP campaign with friends?" and a few of them laughed and said that coop campaign is full of alot of bugs and lag issues for alot of people and that it just wasnt us. So im really just wondering if anyone else on here is having any issues like this?

Once again everything else works perfectly fine and I love the gameplay in this game, its just that this COOP CAMPAIGN that we are hosting just is becoming very frusterating. If its not lagging then its wiers stuff like peopel wont talk to the main player or missions wont say they are done when they are.

Any ideas how to fix this? Or just do up the coop missions with others on a dedicated server with lots of people playing user made missions or mods?

Thanks for any help.. im just new to this coop campaign here and would like to play more.

On my own I usually mess with the editor, download user made missions, singleplayer campaign and sometimes join some domination or other online games and things where awesome, didnt have any bad experiences really or issues. But this coop campaign has been nothing short of a nightmare after the first few levels.

I had this problem with original ArmA2 as well. BIS can't seem to get multiplayer or lan coop working very well at all!
