saffer05 10 Posted January 3, 2011 About 3 days ago I was playing the ACE mod and went AFK during a mission, only to come back to my PC to find that it'd crashed to desktop. Fair enough thought and relaunched OA (I have the steam OA but hard copy of ArmA2) to find that I couldn't join any servers, both with and without mods. Now the only reason I'm posting on this particular forum, as I can imagine the rules about posting about addons, is because I reinstalled the game and deleted the mod "memory" thing in My Documents\ArmA 2 Other Profiles\NAME\NAME.ArmA2OAProfile and didn't touch the command line of the game. After doing that wonderful exercise I found that I still couldn't connect to any servers, and it still says that I'm using a modified version of the BAF (lite) even though it hasn't been touched. Just to elaborate a little on the issue itself, what happens is I start the game up, click multiplayer and look for a coop server with players on it. After I click join I eventually get to the role select screen and it's at this point that it returns to the server browser when I have addons enabled, but without them I manage to get about three quarters of the way through the following loading screen before being returned to the server browser. Any constructive responses would be greatly appreciated, even if I've heard them before. If I left any detail out, let me know and I'll gladly fill you in.

I don't think you can mix Steam/DVD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saffer05 10 Posted January 3, 2011 To my knowledge I haven't mixed anything. I bought ArmA2 from the shop earlier this year and a couple days ago Steam had a sale so I bought OA. They both have seperate folders and all. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do this, as OA is a standalone expansion... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saffer05 10 Posted January 4, 2011 Bump. Still got this issue. Really annoying that ACE doesn't even have an official site, or I'd post there as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TechnoTerrorist303 10 Posted January 4, 2011 Were you trying to play on combined ops servers? Ace doesn't have an official site but it has an official thread, use that. Also, you are trying to join ACE servers with ACE enabled right? You're not trying to join non-ace servers with the mod enabled on your machine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 4087 Posted January 4, 2011 Bump. Still got this issue. Really annoying that ACE doesn't even have an official site, or I'd post there as well. Please dont bump your own thread. Ace has a site http://ace.dev-heaven.net/Advanced_Combat_Environment but like most modders that release big content here, have their own thread in the forum. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=112068 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saffer05 10 Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Were you trying to play on combined ops servers? Ace doesn't have an official site but it has an official thread, use that. Also, you are trying to join ACE servers with ACE enabled right? You're not trying to join non-ace servers with the mod enabled on your machine? Steam gives me the option to run Combined Ops, so I guess it recognises that I have ArmA2...? I'm not sure. But yeah, because of that I didn't think there'd be an issue joining CO servers, but even still I've tried many servers and I just get the problem described. I also spent a while checking out each individual mod for each server I tried to join whilst ACE was enabled.

Sim.M 48 Posted January 4, 2011 have you started Arma2 with your steam launcher? If you cleared the arma2oa profile then Steam would think that you only have OA and not launch CO properly. You have to launch your non-steam game in the steam launcher at least once. Then try doing CO again and see what happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 4087 Posted January 5, 2011 I need their forum, which they don't have.
