SOLVED: Figured out the problem, had to right click on ARMA II in my Steam library > Properties > Local files tab >Verify integrity of game cache. One file was corrupt / broken and needed replacing. I had done this with the free version of the game and forgotten to do it once I installed the full version.

The .rpt seems to be quite a mouthful, like a 212,000 word mouthful. I can't seem to copy / paste it onto here, as I think it breaks some sort of character limit.. But, after attempting to join a server and getting the same error, it looks like this is the only addition to the .rpt file: "############################# co40_Domination_2_60zc_ARPS_West_A2 #############################" [2387,86.58,0,"Executing Dom init.sqf"] [2387,86.76,0,"Executing Dom d_init.sqf"] [2387,90.801,0,"Dom d_init.sqf processed"] [2400,95.771,0,"Dom init.sqf processed"] EDIT: Forgot about pastebin sites, just uploaded it here: http://tinypaste.com/03e0d839

Hello folks, I suppose it would be best to keep this short, so here is my problem!: BACKGROUND: I've been playing the free version of ARMA II for the past two weeks, I loved it and so today I uninstalled ARMA II Free, purchased CO, PMC and BAF and installed them (Using Steam). Now, I can play CO just fine; join any server and have a blast! My problem seems to only occur in ARMA II (No expansions, just vanilla ARMA II). PROBLEM: I attempt to join any server in (Vanilla) ARMA II, it loads, receives mission data, and I select my role. However, upon selecting my role and clicking "OK", I am almost immediately sent back to the server browser, which oddly enough shows a very high ping on all listed servers for about 5 seconds and then returns to normal. I know I should be able to play on these servers, as they're servers I enjoyed playing on with the free version. Any help would be appreciated! Things I have tried (Answers I found via Google searches): - Restarted computer - Restarted ARMA II - Restarted Steam, running it as administrator - Created a new solider / profile - Reinstalled BattleEye - Checked to be sure my version of ARMA II matched the servers (Version 1.11)

Well, I owe all of you a big thanks : D. I now understand more about Arma and OFP. They sound very good and I can't wait to play. I guess the change from quick FPS' like COD / CSS / BF etc... will be hard but I'm fine with that, the game now sounds like WWII Online, but not WWII and with good graphics. Anyways thankyou all for the replies, I look forward to playing the game with you when it is released!

I stumbled on Arma 2 a little while ago and it looked amazing in its HD videos and trailers. Anways, having never played the game or series I was wondering what its like... It looks alot like the BF2 mod "Project Reality" but with better graphics and an AI system. So for anyone who has played PR, is Arma 2 anything like it? (The AI threw me on the multiplayer aspect because very few FPS games have both these days) If its posible could somone just give me a bit of an idea on the gameplay and multiplayer + AI things, looks like an awesome game. By the way sorry if this is in 100 other places, I just really want to find out and can't do a lot of looking right now.
