We can all join eachother if I host a listen server. The weird thing is though that my friend and hist GF, who live together can connect to the server fine. URRRR.

Anything? This is really annoying. My game crashed and now I cant join back up because it will crash my cousin and brother. By the way, the server is hosted somewhere else, not on my connection. We are just connecting and playing online.

Interesting... We were able to join the server when there was no mission loaded yet... We are in and this is working. The bad part is though that if we do not do this every time and one of us tries to join late we will be kicked. How to overcome this...

Well. pinging them is working. I can even transfer files. I have never had any problems with my router.

Hi, I just wanted to introduce our ARMA 2 community to everyone here. Our name is Violator Gaming. We play games other than ARMA 2 such as, rFactor (and other racing sims), and other various games. We are not new to ARMA 2. We briefly had our own server 9 months or so ago. One of my friends works for a server hosting company and was able to give me a reasonable price on hosting. Now we have our own top of the line server with priority over the box. The server is located in NY, if you live anywhere on the east coast you should get under 30 ping. Right now we are running mods such as WarFX, WarFX Tracers, CSM2, Reduced Voices, JTD Fire and Smoke, Zeus AI, and Tracked Vehicles Sound Mod. All of the addons are signed and can be aquirred in an easy to install pack on my Mediafire. http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=ba7c44d7ab2ca5e2ab1eab3e9fa335ca82fe31f492631cc3 You need the main folder with all of the mods. Some people have had corrupt files so I uploaded the three ones that they have had problems with in there as well. It is weird because other people have not had any problems. We for the most part just play CTI. Right now Gossamers Warfare is on there, although we are working on getting Warfare BE installed. Our problem is that our server is 16 slot and Warfare BE tries to up the player limit. This locks us out of our server. We have to edit the mission file to be 8v8, I just am having problems doing so. Until we can fix it, we will continue to use Gossamers Warfare. If you are looking for a good US server for CTI this is the place to look. Yesterday there was a 7.5 hour match which ended by one team capping every town and the server FPS never dipped below 25!! Our Ventrilo info is: 208.100.40.19:25885 We will need donations to stay alive, so if you like the server, please help out. Any donations over $10 will get you a reserve slot. If we get enough donations, I will increase the player limit on the server. Come join the fun.

I do not know if this has been discussed here, there are way too many pages to go through and searching does not bring anything up. Anyway, is there a way to stop the Depots from burning down?

Ok, here is the dilemma. I rented a server from AOWC, I know someone who works there and got me a good price. Anyway, the server has been updated to 1.05 and patched the the beta patch. I have added all of the mods and their signatures. When I or anyone else tries to join the server, we can get in, select the mission, and join a team. The second we click ok and it goes to download the mission file, it hangs. "Receiving Mission File 0kb /8995kb" I have been working with my friend at AOWC to get this to work to no avail. Running without the beta patch does not make a difference as well as running without any mods. Hopefully someone here has had this same problem and has found a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes i have tried a few default missions.

Do you think someone could sign the newest beta for me? WE would like to use it on our server that will be up tomorrow, we just have absolutely no clue how to do such a thing. I am sure this has been asked before, there are just way too many pages to look through.

Really? There are 100's on ebay from Top Sellers. Just because you can actually get a hard copy does not make it pirated... They get them cheap there, and sell them cheap to us.

DROPPING A TANK FROM 2000M ONTO PAVEMENT AND BE FINE =/= REALISTIC Faggots stop complaining. If you do not want it, do not use it.

Hi there all. Do you live somewhere in the US and play online frequently? If so then you probably find yourself playing on a slow European server like my friends and I. My group of friends and I are all pitching in any cash we have to fund a dedicated box. I am paying monthly for the beastly internet line into my house to host. Any donations will go straight toward the payment of the hardware. The server will be kept up to date as well as have the newest and most popular mods. All of the donors will be given some special privilege, dont know what yet, but there will be something. I keep track of who donates and if it does not happen, all of your money will be given back. Please help us, any amount is greatly appreciated. https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=W7WWYT9X5B4PU&lc=US&item_name=Dedicated%20Server%20Box&currency_code=USD&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF%3abtn_donateCC_LG%2egif%3aNonHosted OUR NEW BLOG UNTIL WE HAVE A WEBSITE. http://violatorgaming.chipin.com/arma-ii-dedicated-server-box

Well some updates. The server TCP has lent us for the next month has finally been running awesome. With the new version of Benny, we are seeing no errors or crashes 6+ hours into the game. We now have AddonSync set up for the community to stay up to date with the mods the server allows. Currently we are running: -The newest Beta -Zeus Ai -Vop (track vehicles & helicopters as well) -Full NV Goggles -WarFX -31'st Reticules -No texture map -Reduced Voices They are all awesome mods, I would recommend them to everyone.

Umm, not buying me... Helping donate for a server for our community... Anyway, because of the Blackop guys donating their box for our use. we have had a few awesome CTI's going. It was running well all night. CTI started 2v2 at 6pm. By the time I left it was 12v12 and 3am. 9 hours of constant battle on a fast running US based server. I just crashed out of the game and the server is still going. Island was still split half and half. We destroyed their hq and they were able to rebuild. It could have gone on for another 5 hours, I need to sleep though. With funding, we could have these type of battles every night. Anyway, we will have a real community site up soon. We are looking for some more members as well to play with/admin the server. Anyway, everyone is welcome to the BlackOP Public Server. Our ventrilo is in the name. We run VOP 2.1, WarFX, Custom night vision, and custom reticules. We play with crosshairs off. Thanks again to the guys over at BlackOP

Well thanks. I was going to post that myself, but I did not want to sound like a douche.

It is to the point where I never buy a vehicle full of people and let AI drive it. It is pretty much useless because they will never stay with you and they will never make it anywhere efficiently.

I would love a piece of software/mod that runs the map on another PC via your network. I could imagine it is do-able. Other simulation games take all of your telemetry data and turn that into working gauges/displays in real time on another pc. Imagine having your netbook next to you with a functioning, more detailed map.

So far we have a few donations. Now I have to link my paypal with my bank account. That will take a few days so if you donate, please do not be alarmed. It will show in a few days.

I am all for doing a more organized community donation, I just am not quite as ambitious as you yet. You have some awesome ideas how to organize and improve the community as a whole, right now though I want to focus on one specific range of people. My community mostly plays CTI, we never really find ourselves playing missions. When you go into the server list for CTI, most of the servers in there are flourishing European server. For ex. SuicideSquad #1 and #2 as well as XR #1 and #2. There are many others that are constantly full. Anyone in the US though is pretty much forced to play on those servers and ping over 120. If you have ever tried to play on a server like that you will notice all AI are kind of laggy. I will get a donation bar going and some more info on what we are trying to do. But for now, we are starting small. The more donations we receive, the more servers we can host and broaden our views. Again, I am all for helping everyone, we just need to start somewhere. Our community right now is not large. We were previously a much larger community, but that kind of died with the aging of the game that we were based around. We always have at least 8 people on a night to play Arma, that is why a CTI is always an awesome option. Toward the hardware side of things... What we put in the box on the lines of hardware will be completely dependent on how much money we can raise. The more we receive, obviously the better we can put in there. I already pay for a ridiculously unnecessary line into my house, and I will be upgrading it even more so when we have this server box. I opt for this because we will not have to host it at a datacenter somewhere far from here and we can fix any problems on the spot. In the long run it will be cheaper to host it here than pay a company to host us one on not so good hardware. I do not know what else to right at the moment, hopefully some more responses will remind me of something I forgot. EDIT: I remembered something... We already have a large Ventrilo server running the best codec. It sounds amazing and is hosted in the US so ping is never a problem. EDIT AGAIN: Once we have a server, we will have a website with hopefully active forums. In there people can discuss mods that are of quality that may make a good addition to the server, as well as other suggestions. There will be other sections discussing Ban requests and so-forth. EDIT AGAIN: We now have a temp. blog to keep everything organized at. There is also the donate counter on the side. Once we have a server a much better site will go up. http://violatorgaming.chipin.com/arma-ii-dedicated-server-box

Will do. Yeh, started out by just taking donations from our community. Figured I would broaden the scope of things to bring in some more $$. Figure (and hope) there will be other people playing on it too.

I concur. It would probably be less intensive on a server as well. Someone please make a mod. Please, please, please.

Too bad the motion blur is good.

This man here speaks the truth.
