Gronaz 10 Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Hi all Here is my small problem, thx for your help : - running windows server 2003 SP2 - I manualy installed A2 + A2OA in a folder : D:\a2co - I manualy added keys in registry : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2] "MAIN"="D:\\a2co" "KEY"=xxx [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA] "MAIN"="D:\\a2co" - running the server with: "D:\a2co\arma2oaserver.exe -config=server.cfg -cfg=basic.cfg -profiles=D:\a2co -name=server -port=2302" THEN : - the server does NOT see the 'Arma 2' extension - if I want the server to see it, I have to manualy add "-mod=D:\a2co;D:\a2co\Expansion" in the startup command (Arma 2 stuff is then loaded so I can play arma 2 missions) WHY ???? I'm getting crazy with that issue. This causes me some troubles, like BattleEye not starting bcause of an error : BattlEye Server: Incompatible game - ArmA 2 required Thx in advance for your help.

Defunkt 431 Posted April 2, 2011 Why monkey with your registry? I've not heard of any need to do so. Can you run normal Combined Operations (arma2oa.exe) or does the machine not have a suitable video card? Suggest you do (from DOS)... dir D:\A2CO\*.* /s > D:\A2CO\directory.txt ...and post the content of directory.txt here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gronaz 10 Posted April 3, 2011 hi, thx for your help This is a dedicated remote server, this is the reason why I do not run arma2oa.exe in the normal way Here is the d:\a2co folder content (only posted the root content) : Directory of D:\A2CO 03/04/2011 10:15 <DIR> . 03/04/2011 10:15 <DIR> .. 20/03/2011 14:36 <DIR> @HEXAgon 23/03/2011 23:43 <DIR> @R3F_ARMES 23/03/2011 23:39 <DIR> @undead 01/04/2011 23:25 <DIR> AddOns 01/04/2011 23:25 11ÿ242ÿ632 arma2.exe 01/04/2011 23:24 12ÿ409ÿ992 arma2oa.exe 01/04/2011 23:24 10ÿ652ÿ808 arma2oaserver.exe 03/04/2011 00:01 1ÿ338 arma2oaserver.RPT 01/04/2011 23:25 9ÿ366ÿ664 arma2server.exe 03/04/2011 10:14 298 basic.cfg 02/04/2011 23:53 <DIR> BattlEye 01/04/2011 23:24 <DIR> Common 03/04/2011 10:15 0 directory.txt 01/04/2011 23:25 <DIR> Dta 20/03/2011 14:33 <DIR> Expansion 20/03/2011 14:11 352ÿ256 ijl15.dll 01/04/2011 23:25 <DIR> Keys 07/02/2011 21:17 153ÿ034 lang.ini 07/02/2011 21:17 58ÿ856 logo-paul.bmp 01/04/2011 23:25 <DIR> Missions 01/04/2011 23:25 <DIR> MPMissions 07/02/2011 21:17 279ÿ880 paul.dll 02/04/2011 23:55 2ÿ933 server.cfg 03/04/2011 10:14 102 server_console.log 02/04/2011 00:03 2ÿ970 server_public.cfg 20/03/2011 14:33 <DIR> Users 07/02/2011 22:16 22ÿ360 X3DAudio1_6.dll 15 File(s) 44ÿ546ÿ123 bytes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Defunkt 431 Posted April 4, 2011 Nothing obviously wrong there. Given you've felt the need to enter the registry paths by hand I'm guessing you uploaded from a local installation rather than running the installer on the server which is probably the underlying issue. If the -mod= method works maybe focus on fixing the BattlEye error, in my registry the game directory is specified for BE with (and yes, for these two entries there is no "Studio"): [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\BattlEye] "MAIN"="D:\\A2CO" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2 OA\BattlEye] "MAIN"="D:\\A2CO" Also if the server is an x64 system the registry root would be... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node ...instead of... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE Can't suggest any other possible causes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gronaz 10 Posted April 4, 2011 Hi I found out a solution. - starting with -mod option to include a2co an a2co\Expansion folders - Added -BEpath option so server is pointing to the right BE dll (which is in a2co/expansion/battleye) This way, things seem to work fine Thx again for your time !
