Not seeing more than like 40 servers online right now. What's up? :) I KNOW my unit's server is online, people are on it.

isn't the ESRB notice on all copies distributed in the US and Canada? I don't think they have a choice. It's no inconvenience so I'd stop whining about it and let them tend to more important issues.

After playing an online match for about 30-40 minutes my screen goes blank. I can only see other players text. But I can still hear sound effects and players on team speak.

it's fixed in public betas ... either get it or wait for next patch

problem with the public beta is that not everyone is using it yet, so you may not find as many servers to play on using the fixes the beta provides. However this does not stop you from playing on regular 1.03 servers as the beta acts as a mod, so you can switch between beta and 1.03 by restarting the game (and removing the target line for the beta, or running a different shortcut that doesn't run the beta). It's really up to you as you loose nothing by downloading the beta other than some of the servers you might like may not be running on it.

My game updated to 1.03 automatically. I've tried reinstalling/deleting cache and verifying but I keep getting 2 annoying errors that won't go away. They are also happening to a friend of mine who purchased this game on Steam.

1) in Razor 2 mission at the beginning where ther is supposed to be talking when the screen is black I get a "Sound Counter not found" error. Other people on steam are getting this too but there is no fix and CD people don't seem to have this problem??

2) EVERY time I join a multiplayer game I get a error:

No entry 'bin\config.bin/RscDisplayMultiplayerSetup/controls/CA_B_West.sideToggle'

Nothing came up when I searched that one but my friend also gets that exact error.

Don't worry abot the CA_B_West.sideToggle error, it's harmless and from what I've heard, does not appear anymore with the beta patches so it should be gone when 1.04 rolls around.

As for the Razor 2 mission problem, I cannot comment as I don't play the campaign.

I'm getting the same error also. I run no mods. I tired the beta just before this came out and it never had this problem.

It doesn't happen on EVERY server but it happens on just aout every server I play on :/ The servers are upgraded to 1.04 also....

Ever since the newest patch (Hotfix included) my keyboard doesn't seem to work in game. I've tried with another, but only the mouse works. I'm using a G15, if it helps.

I posted in here because I have a friend who also owns the steam version and has the same issue.

Does Steam give us our updates in small doses? Cause I am getting 1 atm and I was sure I have 1.04 already. Oddness.

Hi, I have a quick question about Arma II on Steam.

I've bought the retail version (with Polish localization) in a store, is it also possible to register the bought game to Steam? That could save me the need to constantly put the DVD in whenever I want to play.
