Ravenous26 0 Posted November 22, 2008 Ok, I use to play a lot when this game first came out. Well I just did a clean install, then Queens Gambit and now the new 1.14 patch and go to play online. After waiting for 15 minutes the Receiving Mission File does not move at all, I am not sure if it is hanging up or what? I am confident this is not a firewall issue, or router as I currently have my gaming PC DMZ'd and I am not having trouble with other games. So I am hoping for a bit of help. Am I just not waiting long enough? Are there things I need to Dl? spec's Win XP System Model: 965P-S3 Processor: Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.20GHz (2 CPUs) Memory: 2046MB RAM Page File: 496MB used, 3441MB available DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS Audio: SB X-Fi Audio Fatal1ty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ravenous26 0 Posted November 22, 2008 Well I tried again and waited 45 minutes to connect to a server and no go. Anyone able to give me a hand with this please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoma 0 Posted November 24, 2008 1) Normally if you'd need any addons to play on the server, that are required for the mission, you'd be autokicked instantly so i don't think that's the problem. 2) Are you using some kind of software firewall/antivirus with built in firewall? Maybe that won't allow to download the mission file? Even if you're in a "hardware" DMZ, you could still have software problems. 3) Have you tried connecting to a non-evolution map? (Evolution is indeed notorious for very long wait times before you can actually play) 4) Are you trying to connect to a certain server or does the same thing happen for all servers you try to connect to? 5) Maybe you have some corrupt file in MPMissionsCache -Shut down arma and go to start, run -type %userprofile%\Application Data\Arma\MPMissionsCache -remove all files from this folder (but leave the folder itself) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
