Hello I just bought OA and both expansions but when I try to enter some of the games it says it uses files that are downloaded or deleted warfare2vehicles and Cawheeled can anyone tell me how to get it to work for me they are the most populated maps

Those files are from Arma2 so that is what you need.

Hello Cloverdog54, welcome to the forums

The servers you are trying to connect to are running missions that use content from the original game ArmA II that is not part of OA and DLC.

Those missions are usually labeled with CO or OA

CO means combined operations = ArmA II + A2:OA

OA is Operation arrowhead standalone.

Since most users seem to have CO it is logical that a lot of servers run CO missions on Chenarus with Russian forces etc.

Solution is to look for OA only missions servers (there are a few)

Or get original ArmA II and install it into OA so you have the full package.

The BAF and PMC DLCs are no problem since there is a "Lite" version of all DLCs in 1.57 patch.

i have a similar problem but its not that i cant join 50% of games, its that i cannot join almost all the games. i have only found one server that allows me to play. the rest let me load in, pick my class, etc. but when i finish receiving data file it just kicks me right back to the server list and out of the match without saying anything.
