vran. 13 Posted June 2, 2014 Someone should try to contact those GS server owners and ask them if they want to re-direct the hosting IP. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vran. 13 Posted July 26, 2014 Well looks like GameSpy is now finally down so here's a practical 'guide' for those reading this who wish to keep playing online or maybe join anew. Option 1 - download OFP Monitor Here is a direct link to the latest version: https://github.com/Poweruser/OFPMonitor/releases/download/1.7.1.3/OFPMonitor_v1.7.1.3.rar Download this and put the content of the file into your C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\ARMA Cold War Assault\ or C:\Program Files\GOG.com\Arma Cold War Assault\ folder. Now double click on the OFPMonitor.exe and you will see a list of servers you may or may not join (depending on your version, running mod, server password) by right clicking on a server and pressing the "join > no mods" option. You have several other available options too which you may configure. Option 2 - Download or make a 'hosts.exe' file This option will give you the possibility to join online servers in the game itself by clicking the "LAN" option instead of the "Internet" option. However it is not the best option because only 16 servers can be displayed at once and you'll have to add new servers manually. For those wishing the simplest way to enable this I made two files with lists, one for 1.99 version and one for 1.96. Here they are: Hosts.txt 1.99 version Hosts.txt 1.96 version Simply put the file into the same place you have your game installed and then click on 'LAN' option to see a list of servers that are online (including my own, which I host at times :p ). Alternatively, you can write your own hosts.txt file with the server ips you want. The third option is 'direct connect' where you click on 'remote' and type in the server ip and port you wish to join. This is the less appealing option but one that works too.
