[rbb 10]

Hey peeps!! anyone getting this problem for ARMA 2 OA or CO server browser? i hosted a private Patrol Ops game and now my friends no longer able to join my game and keep getting "CONNECTION FAILED" :mad: is it really the real deal that IGN shut down Gamespy and ARMA no longer able to host server?

i don't get why other servers are still running and you can connect without any probs..

For those that want to connect to your server they can use the -connect=<i.p. address> -port=2302 and if passworded add -password=xxxxxxx.

I haven't changed anything on my server. But I was thinking of putting my i.p. in my sever i.d.\banner that shows up in the server list.

People that want to connect can use the -connect command. PITA I know but it works.

How do you put the command -connect <ip> -port=2302? is it the parameters edit on the shortcut? im kinda new :(

Yea sorry it goes in your short cut target line eg. "D:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2OA.exe" -nosplash -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7 -connect=199.7.131.27 -port=2302 -mod=Expansion

I should have mentioned that.

EDIT: I have put the following in my target for ArmA II standalone, "E:\program files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\ArmA2.exe" -nosplash -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7 -connect=199.7.131.27 -port=2302, but when I launched the game it had a Wait for host screen? :confused: It would be great if this problem is fixed so I can host servers.
