Turn off your router firewall and restart router, then try to connect a server And also make sure you have portforward/NAT the right ports, UDP or TCP to your local IP. Some routers also need firewall rules if you have port forward/NAT.

Hi I'm sure u need to reinstall your Microsoft .NET Framework or install the newest one from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en And you have more versions at the bottom page too.

Little bit more info would be nice.... :) Windows Vista/Windows 7 64-bit Issues GeForce 400 Series: Arma2–there is corruption in the game, along with a drop in performance.[667575]

Hi. Thank you soooooooooo much :D EDIT: It is possible to add the beta in this cmd file and still have the steam overlay??

I think the problem is for Core2Duo users (2 cores)

Hi. Try to add -exThreads=1 into your startup parameter.

Same here..

LOL.... nothing are bug free ,not even our brain :p

Thank you very much ;)

Hi Dwarden. And thanks for the new _runA2CO.cmd :) It seems to work now when i startup the game via steam "Launch ArmA2: Combined Operation" and mods work pretty well too. Well if i add mods in the run parameters it only start mod if they are in the ArmA2:OA folder. So i have to copy my mods from ArmA2 folder over to ArmA2:OA folder, then they work :) Like this: :run "%_ARMA2OAPATH%\ARMA2OA.exe" "-nosplash" "-mod=%_ARMA2PATH%;%_ARMA2OAPATH%\EXPANSION;ca;@CBA;@sthud" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 ENDLOCAL The @CBA and @sthud had to be in the ArmA2:OA folder to start. But that is OK for me to copy mod folders from ArmA2 to ArmA2:OA But is it any other way to fix that? :) Thanks

No problem here with -nosplash :run "%_ARMA2OAPATH%\ARMA2OA.exe" "-nosplash" "-mod=%_ARMA2PATH%;%_ARMA2OAPATH%\EXPANSION;ca" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 ENDLOCAL

Yes... add ca to your mods :)

Well, why not BIS and STEAM do a little chat and be agree to use beta patch/official patch via DLC in STEAM. Steam offers gamers in-game downloadable content. Steam offers gamers in-game downloadable content Press Releases - Valve 17 Mar 2009 March 16, 2009 — Valve, creators of best-selling entertainment products and advanced technologies, today announced the arrival of in-game downloadable content to Steam, their massively popular PC gaming platform. In-game DLC allows developers and publishers to use their own games as a platform for selling additional content to gamers. The first game to take advantage of this new in-game DLC capability is The Maw, by Twisted Pixel Games. Their first DLC releases are levels entitled The Maw: Brute Force and The Maw: River Redirect. Each DLC level expands The Maw storyline by fitting in-between the original levels as "deleted scenes." Twisted Pixel CEO, Michael Wilford, says "We're happy that we can now offer Steam customers significant expansions to the Maw story, delivering more Maw directly to gamers while they're still playing the game." DLC can now be added to any game on Steam, regardless of whether it was originally purchased via Steam, at retail, or via other digital outlets. It is also a feature of Steamworks, the suite of free tools and services available to game developers and publishers.

Can i copy my EXPANSION folder from OA over to ArmA2 folder and run arma2.exe with -mod=EXPANSION EDIT: HELL YEAH... it works :p Copy the whole EXPANSION folder from OA over to ArmA2 and deleted BattlEye, dta, keys and ijl15.dll from EXPANSION folder and i renamed my EXPANSION folder to @OA_EXPANSION and added it on my -mod (like this: -mod=@OA_EXPANSION My arma2 started as it was OA, same menu etc etc..

Well, for me it runs worse. ArmA2 is still best in performance :)

Which retail CD Keys are accepted on Steam? https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7480-WUSF-3601

Good point, was wondering about the same..

hmmm, my steam version of Arma2: OA says v.1.52.71612 and this version http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=10922 says v.1.52.71816 So why is not steam and the official update the same??

Thanks Mikobiko :)
