pressytcn 10 Posted April 11, 2014 i am trying to figure out how to update multible mods and how to see outdated mods how and where do i do that ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.kju 3244 Posted April 11, 2014 In the mod library there is an "updates" section that lists all mods that need updating. To update all mods in one go, instead of one by one, you can create a collection that contains all of them and then use the install/update button the bottom left.

ProfTournesol 956 Posted June 2, 2014 Hi, i'm using 1.15.613.1 version and all my ArmA2 mods (well, most of) aren't recongized anymore by the utility (can't update them, they are tagged as unknown). They were installed using PwS though. Any idea ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cardelga 10 Posted June 24, 2014 Great work! But .... The SU repositories are being deleted and the linux server can't download now a lot of mods because uses rsync. If the server don't actualize mod the client can't use them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ProfTournesol 956 Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) It still doesn't recognize my mods in ArmA2, despite those mods being installed (from the beginning) in the correct directory. To be more precise, it sees them but tag them as "not installed". Edited July 3, 2014 by ProfTournesol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sickboy 13 Posted July 3, 2014 It still doesn't recognize my mods in ArmA2, despite those mods being installed (from the beginning) in the correct directory. To be more precise, it sees them but tag them as "not installed". If the directories are set correctly in the settings of the game in PwS, then not installed probably means not yet converted to Synq. Either from old SixRsync format, or from classical download format. So PwS cannot confirm the validity of the installation. I suppose we should add a Unrecognized state, or something else that would convey this somehow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No need to delete, that would be a waste of bandwidth and time I think. Just run Install action and see if they get properly converted this time ;) Are they in the game directory or in the mod directory btw? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ivan911 1 Posted July 24, 2014 Hallo Sickboy I have recently switched to steam just to get new update (1.63) and since than i am unable to get my PwS start and running. On steam i got Arma X and my Arma 2 it is installed in 2 separate folders, Arma 2 and Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead. Normally when i start OA in Steam i basically running COmbined. So problem is i am unable to run Combined Operations in PwS. I can run Arma 2 or OA but cant figure how to run them bout together. When i run OA in PwS it starts only Operation Arrowhead, BAF and PMC. I need help mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
