Ok, I figured my issue out, I had downloaded the file from your link but I clicked again and there was another file, I had to get a plugin for that new file so now it works.

Doh the thing to verify your windows is legit if you're using a browser other than IE? I forgot about that, would explain it.

ArmA 2 demo/AddOns/air.pbo

Is there any way to run a demo dedicated server?

Any updates on this?

[ampd 10]

Alright i have 2 quick questions really fast. but first i just want to thank BI for putting this AWESOME demo togather. ArmA2 looks excellent! But i was using the mission editor a lil bit ago and i have been wondering, how do i rotate objects? And the 2nd question is that if my game keeps crashing, typicly while in a hummer does that have somthing to do with memory or my graphics? ( i can run Crysis on very high and not lagg btw. )

Start the ArmA 2 demo with -server -config=server.cfg -port=2302 alike parameters, same as with the regular dedicated server. Same server config file etc. can be used.

Btw: Server signature verification can't enabled, since there's no server side key available. But there seems to be a verification mechanism in place anyway.

Beat me to it. I just got mine rolling.

Here is what my TCADMIN is doing to start it up

-server -config=server.cfg -port=2340 -profiles=C:\UserFiles\ADMIN\GameServers\TC86145887341176337353063\ -name=server -maxplayers=64

Torrent file is broken, can't unrar it :( Redownloading from steam...uh another 3 hours.

In your client with the torrent stopped, click 'Force re-check' and wait, if there's anything wrong with the downlad it will pick it up and restarting the torrent will correct it for you. (maybe a bad segment)

@ Placebo. Kudos for nannying this thread, you've got your work cut out on this forum today;)

I have a wierd problem. Whenever the extracter for the setup finishes (I'm using winrar. I just double-clicked it) it just closes. No setup opens. The computer just beeps at me. I'm running Vista 64-bit on a non-admin profile. I used the torrent download and I use bittorrent.

Hey guys, and thanks for using Gameupdates.org for the torrent :)

We know there is a lot of strain on it as it's so popular, but we are doing what we can to improve your downloads.

Currently a couple of hundred Mbit/s have been added as additional seeding power for this one.

Please let me know if you encounter any problems.

hey

i don't know what i'm doing wrong...but i don't have the option "fillrate optimizer" in my video settings! please help me.

[maddogx 13]

hey

It's different now. You have two resolutions, the main display resolution and the 3D render resolution right underneath it. If both are the same, you have 100% fillrate.

Look for 3d resolution instead. It was renamed to avoid confusion. Fail.

EDIT Maddog beat me again:D

@MadDogX

Here is another mirror for you guys.

[Davii 10]

does the 3d resolution has to be higher than the mai display resolution to get a better fillrate?

i don't really understand this new system? could anyone explain it please?

I fyou match it to your game resolution then you've got 100% fillrate if you take it higher then you are effectively upping your fillrate over 100%. Experimentation is the best bet.

can you use scripts in the Demo?

[ampd 10]

I believe i found a bug in the demo placebo. When you are in the editor and go to USMC, Men, Sniper(m107) they are using the m24 sniper rifle instead of the m107. just a heads up.
