    -Ziggy-;1404466']well' date=' the instructions are there at the site linked.

    here is a direct link to them

    http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Dedicated_Server

    this wiki describes ArmA dedicated, but ArmA2 is the same. down a few paragraphs it tells of "patching a dedicated server"

    my work is done here! :jesus:

    Yeah, I've read that... requires the game and a CD key.

    You have to update the whole game on the server like you do on a client.

    For example patch 1.03 altered about 7 GB.

    Xeno

    Yeah, pretty stupid not to have dedicated server files. We don't have the game installed on our file server. It makes it difficult to run dedicated servers.

    -Ziggy-;1404427']i've setup a server for a friend' date=' not a gsp.

    afaik, you simply place the 1.03 server.exe in the same folder as the arma2.exe, and appropriately place your ArmA2.cfg, server.cfg, and default.ArmA2profile files.

    I hope this is helpful :confused:

    official instructions and server.exe 1.03 here

    From what I've been told, you need the 1.03 client files as well.

    Ok, here's the deal. I do support for Wolf Servers. I'm not sure who put together our 1.03 patch, but something was wrong with it. People tried updating their servers with the patch that someone put together and their servers are crashing.

    Here's my take on it, so please tell me if I'm wrong:

    In order to extract the client 1.03 files, which are required for a server to work properly, you need to have ArmA 2 1.0 installed, correct? Well, the server where we store our game installations doesn't have ArmA 2 installed, so if I try running the 1.03 client patch, it errors out, telling me it's not installed, so I can't create a 1.03 install or a patch. I did extract the 1.0 files into it's own folder and then tried extracting the 1.03 files, but it didn't work.

    Is there a .rar or .zip file that has all of the new 1.03 client files so I can create a patch for Wolf Servers?

    Is there anyone else here from a GSP that has put something together?

    With my system - 2.7Ghz CPU, ATI 260 OC 896MB video memory, it was laggy on default settings. Considering I can run most other games at max, it's disappointing. I am definately leaning towards not buying it. Maybe if a tweak guide comes out I can eliminate the lag, but I don't expect I'll be buying it.

    64bit operating systems and games....... Not good bedfellows :). Look at any support forums for games released since 64 bit OS's have become mainstream and you'll find most of the problems occuring with the 64bits. Especially where Vista is concerned.

    I have Vista Ultimate 64. I play BF2, BF2142, a bunch of Steam games and everything runs flawlessly. I expect the same from the demo.

    Sorry, can't opine on the demo, as I literally had about 3 minutes to play it. Maybe tomorrow.

    I installed Windows 7 on a spare hard drive last night, still getting used to it as I never used Vista for more than 10 mins total (XP64 is my preference), some stuff in Win7 seems nice, other things I'm googling to see how I return to the XP look (for example start menu!wink_o.gifsmile_o.gif

    If the discussion is going to continue to be about Windows 7 then this thread in OT would be the best place smile_o.gif

    As the OP, I agree. I hate when people take my posts off topic.

    The typical solution is to run the game windowed wink_o.gif

    But yeah, I believe ArmA2 will run better on Vista then 1.

    After all Vista wasn't even out at the time the game was released.

    It seems -windowed doesn't work on the demo...

    I'd really like to see some sort of confirmation from a dev saying it's been fixed. I've been burned by too many new FPS's lately...

    I never played ArmA, so I decided I'd download the demo to see how I like it. I've got Vista 64 and 4 GB of memory. For those that don't know, that's a bad combination that causes a black loading screen when you start the demo and you can't do anything.

    The typical solution is to disable 1 GB of RAM with a Vista setting and then rebooting. This is too much for for a demo.

    My question is this: Has this problem been fixed with ArmA 2? I really don't want to buy a game just to find out I have to disable 25% of my RAM to play the damn thing.
