Yeah but Maruk gives the commands and I think Dwarden can see the "logic" behind doing it. haha

I think now we just need Maruk or Dwarden to make it so.

Ran some tests also ... this only appears when ArmA2 content is enabled. VERIFIED :checkmark:

Then this is a Gamespy issue I am thinking. Relative to having OA and ArmA2 (CA) content enabled. If you look through the list and "enabled mods" this is pretty obvious. Now we just have to wait for them to fix it I guess.

Ouch ... try remocing the securom drivers ... you will have to google this. Perhaps a game you loaded in the past loaded older ones? dunno. email sprocket support also and see what they say. Sorry you did not mention what you have tried except what was in the first post

Have you tried: - Moving the file to a diff drive and running? - Redownloading the file? Maybe a Securom issue, however I did a search and this thread seems to be the only one having this issue or mentioning it.

r click the file and try elevating it if in vista. "run as administrator" Does not sound like you have admin rights.

Yeah they can, but the yellow in the USA means "Caution", so they join another server. Thats fine and all, but us admins take pride in our servers and want everyone to feel they can join and not have issues or be hackled. I wonder if it is the ACE mods it does not recognize? Does yours have ACE installed?

JojoTheSlayer: pchaXor-><-JojoTheSlayer You got that right, but forgot the labels. ;)

Yeah from now on thats where I am going too. I think it best if BIS just sold exclusively DL content via Sprocket. Seems to be the best option too.

Yeah Steam is full of "Jarated". Have I mentioned I hate Steam? lol

Redownload it. Sounds like the file is corrupt. Be sure you got no virii and a good defrag wont hurt. cheers. ---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ---------- Still no DLC from Steam. Ill buy it elsewhere. Sprocket seems like the best choice.... http://www.sprocketidea.com/joomla/ Comfirmed: Sprocket worked a treat.

Ok just loud speaking then. :)

No need to yell or get excited ... I was just clarifying is all. According to Maruk .. the low quality DLC is included in the latest patch.

Thats only "IF" your not a steam user. No Patch or DLC for Steam users yet. Yes the patch ... has the DLC but the models and sounds are low resolution/quality. (This wont effect client side if they have the full version DLC, otherwise they too will see low resolution and hear low quality DLC content.)

Yeah enough of this. I will just go buy CO retail and count my losses. I hope BIS at least got some of the money from my Steam purchases. I do hope that future releases dont go out via Steam ... just seems to COST BIS money with support issues and all the delays and forums posts. I can't and don't want to imagine how much time this has all costed Dwarden ... poor guy. WE LOVE YOU TOO DWARDEN! - Thanks a ton for all that you have done for us Steam users.

Problem is I can't seem to get the patch Maruk. I am unfortunately a Steam user. I regret buying it from Steam and will end up buying the Retail tomorrow. I will support BIS 100%, but steam is an utter disappointment. Love ya man! Thanks for the fast reply btw.

Yeah welll Steam users dont even have access to the patch yet. I am about to contact them for a refund on my OA and go buy CO retail. So freaking tired of Steam (did I mention that?)

you guys know if i need to buy it twice to get it on my server?

I hate steam. If it isnt unlocked in the next few hours .. I no buy from steam. BIS may want to get on the horn and get this available. Tired of this hourse pucky and screwing around with Steam.

I am unable to purchase this via steam ... Aug 26th ... When is this going to be available on Steam? Doesnt say anything about when it will be unlocked or any BUY button. From Steam (USA) Downloadable Content for ARMA II: Operation Arrowhead There is no downloadable content available for this game.

Feel sorry enough to buy me a Retail copy? - LOL! Things I will never again do: 1. Buy the German version in hopes of a proper English patch. (did this twice like a dumbass and now have a German copy of ArmA and ArmA 2 I wil never use) 2. Buy Bohemia Games on Steam. (This was just not planned out and the entire launching and patching is pure horse crap.) - Still waiting for a proper fix! 2. Jump from an airplane with no parachute and expect to live a happy life. Just trust me, it is a HUGE mistake, if you can avoid it the Steam version will cost you more and bring you more grief. And this of coarse ruins it for me with the British DLC coming out as well ... NO WAY will I be purchasing it; at least not until all this launchng crap is resolved. I cant even imagine how bad that is going to mess up the the entire launching sequence. Oh and btw .. this is what I have to launch to get CO/ACE working:

Thanks... I figured out that it was the mission compatibility with the newer beta code. Xeno will fix it in due time, but for now I will just run the odler beta that works with the mission, until the mission makers can catch up to some of the new stuff getting added into the game code. There is just an obvious incompatibility.

Can you try the version I specified and see if you have the same issues? This is the ACE version btw .. maybe something with ACE mods... Tried a diff version... [4043,49.181,0,"MISSINIT","co@30_Domination_2_28A2_West_R_ACE_OA","Takistan",true,true,true] 2010/08/14, 12:34:26 [4043,51.427,0,"XEH: PreInit Finished"] 2010/08/14, 12:34:26 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVoice.Male01DE'. 2010/08/14, 12:34:26 Warning Message: No entry '.identityTypes'. 2010/08/14, 12:34:26 Warning Message: Size: '/' not an array Reverted back to an older beta and all is well. Since the Missions are from the same coding, my guess is that something changed in the beta\dta bin.pbo that no longer works with XENO's missions.

(?) Trying to get rid of this red question mark on my public server. It is making clients think they cannot connect and the server is DEAD since loading and launching AO. My Server file paths are: C:\Program Files\arma 2 C:\Program Files\arma 2 operation arrowhead I launch as a FireDeamon service "Combined Arms": C:\Program Files\arma 2 operation arrowhead\arma2oaserver.exe -nosound -world=empty -config=server.cfg -cfg=ArmA2OAServer.cfg -profiles=profile "-mod=c:\program files\arma 2;c:\program files\arma 2 operation arrowhead\EXPANSION" How the heck do I sort this out so my server shows GREEN??? I know if I only start AO with just the basic start up ... it goes green, but then Arma2 content/maps are missing and most of us play using Combined Arms ... is this a mess or what? Am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions? +++ MODS: Before you lock this thread please direct me to the thread with the solution. I searched for quite a while (even google) and did not find a solution. I found others having similar issues, however no solutions. Do I need to move the arma2 content to a mod folder in the AO folder? Won't Gamespy continue to report a red question mark no matter where I move it? Something isn't right here and not much thought went into "Combined Arms" and the GS browser query apparently. Looking for a solution - Thanks.
