Multiple MP issues

[ktbluear 10]

Hey,

I've recently purchased ARMA II CO on Steam, and I love the game when I'm able to play it. Unfortunately, when it comes to multiplayer, that is very rare, both in ARMA II and Operation Arrowhead, though for what seems to be different reasons. I would really, really appreciate some help here, since these issues are essentially making my purchase worthless.

Also, I'm sorry if these are redundant issues, but I've searched around and found no answers, so please be patient with me.

In ARMA II (I'm updated to 1.07), every time I enter the server browser, it says the patch is now available, even though I already have it. Then, whenever I try to join a server, it loads everything up just fine, and as soon as I'd be able to play, it kicks me back to the server browser, without any error message or indication that something is amiss. Obviously this it pretty prohibitive.

In Operation Arrowhead, I'm currently at 1.54, but almost all servers are still at 1.52. Do I just have to wait until all the servers are updated? Are the patches really not backwards compatible?

Any help would be much appreciated. I really enjoy this game, but it's often not worth the 1-2 hours it takes for me to find a suitable server.

Thank you.

There are few good servers.... I think there are 695 A2 servers and 98% are empty or just shit coop servers...

My sig has what A2 needs more of.

Just ignore that, everyone gets that.

for the arma 2 problem, i had that after i updated to 1.07, you need to get battleye from here http://www.battleye.com/download.html

download it and put it in the battleye folder where you installed arma 2.

Thank you for your prompt replies.

What's the best way to find good servers? From what I hear, seems that clan play is really the only way to go. If so, I'm not sure the best way to hook up with a clan. I've seen the list on the forums here, but I can't really tell what is up-to-date at this point. Just try my luck?

Yeah, I wondered if the patch thing always showed up.

Mic, Steam already installed Battleye for me. Since it updated, should I try again?

Thanks again.

Yeah, I don't have one either. Where did you put it?

create the battleye folder in the arma 2 root, and put the files in it.
