bladebarrier 0 Posted February 10, 2010 I initially purchased the German version, way back. I played on most servers ok back then, using the English patch. I took a long break, and when I came back, I decided I'd purchase ARMA2 again, but in English this time, to ensure no issues with server conflicts. I uninstalled the original, purchased my new version from Direct2Drive, and downloaded/installed patch 1.05. Everything runs fine in single player. I downloaded ACE2, and started playing online using the ACE2 mod. No problems there. I now am renting a server, and as long as I have the "checks" disabled, I can log in to my own ACE server and play with no issues. All seemed good and fine. The problem is, I can't seem to connect to any non-ACE servers. I use the default shortcut to try it, instead of my ACE one, and I consistently get "Session Lost" when I try to connect. I asked a friend to try the same server (he purchased off of Steam), and he got in just fine. I uninstalled everything ARMA related, and deleted all folders. I re-booted, and re-installed everything, and no improvement. We're both on win 7 x64, with almost identical hardware (down to the mobo, gfx card, etc..), and live in the same state. Any thoughts on what's going on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bladebarrier 0 Posted February 10, 2010 http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?p=1561169#post1561169 That is the post that fixed it. It should be a sticky up top, and there should be an explanation in the 1.05 patch page, that if you used D2D to purchase, that you need to patch to 1.04 first, before 1.05. I wasted about 5 hours messing around with googling, installing over and over, wondering if it was because of my previous German version was causing issues, when all the patch description had to say was: "IF YOU PURCHASED THIS THROUGH D2D, PATCH TO 1.04 FIRST, THEN PATCH TO 1.05. IF NOT, YOUR MULTI-PLAYER MAY NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
