jibbyboy 10 Posted April 29, 2011 Purchased combined operations yesterday and was having some trouble connecting to the multiplayer. When i would click on multiplayer and hit ok on the "game experience may change..." it just sits on "Receiving info...". Is this a cd-key registry issue or ports maybe? i have already tried turning off my fire wall. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 4056 Posted April 29, 2011 Hello, Do you have the latest patch? Check your RPT sometimes the rpt will tell you if your missing something that the mission you are trying to connect to requires, like addons or other files. RPT can be found here: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\ArmA 2 OA also there are plenty of threads with folks already asking the same question. please abide by the forum rules: §7) Search before posting If you have a question, please use the forum search function before posting to make sure that it hasn't been answered before. There is a big chance it has, not only does searching help to keep the forum free of multiple threads it will also help you to get an answer much quicker.

jibbyboy 10 Posted April 30, 2011 yes i have the most recent version, i tried searching but everything that came up was people not being able to connect to a server. The servers list doesnt even show up for me. its just the start menu background and says "receiving..." in the middle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jibbyboy 10 Posted May 2, 2011 update for tightheadprop, i re-installed and it worked. After you re-install run verify game cache. right click the game-properties-local-files-verify. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
