Thanks Yoma...Addon Sync is a great application! I'm just hoping that the "Country" in "Find Servers" get's fixed in the upcoming new version.

I really don't know what's causing your problem or if this will help...but you could try adding Arma 2 to your DEP(Data Execution Prevention) exception list I don't know which OS your running but here it is for Vista Control Panel => System => Advanced System Settings => Advanced => Performance => Settings => Data Execution Prevention

I think you would feel more of an idiot if someone told you to use Alt-F4 :D

Good to hear! I'm still learning to use Addon Sync myself. ;) And no...you do not need Addon Sync to join any server...it's just a helpful guide. By using Addon Sync...I can see that Suicidesquad.co.uk Server 2 only uses the original(Vanilla) Arma 2 and also the Beta patches(Mods: CA;beta). Although you know how to do all of this...it might help someone else so I'll write it up anyway...Up the top left in Addon Sync is Find Servers tab..click on that then click on Search. When it's finished finding the servers...Click on the Ping tab to find your local server. Pick a server then double click on it. When a smaller window pops up...on the right hand side is Server Info then look at the Mods that can be used and needed if someone changes a mission that utilises these mods. Example: Mods: CA;@cba;@ace;@acex;@ACEX_PLA;@duala CA...is Vanilla(Original) Arma 2 @cba;@ace;@acex;@ACEX_PLA...All are ACE 2 Mod packs: @duala....Is an Island Mod. Also if you want ACE 2...in Addon Sync...click on Favourite Servers...click on Add Server...than add http://folders.ugaf-addons.co.uk/ACE_Server/modreopo.7z in Auto Config URL then click on Import Server. Down the bottom click on Save. There's a tab up near the top with Download Addons. Click that then click Check for addons then Download addons. This will update you to ACE 2 if you want it. I hope this helps you to enjoy Arma 2 more! Ps. I go to 2 different servers and one uses Battleye and the other does not have it. Either way it will/should update Battleye.

I bet it will say that something has been deleted. You are being kicked off automatically because you don't have the required Mods. When you constantly join...you could be lagging the server a bit so they will ban you because of you persistence. Does the server have any Mods running...like ACE2 (Are they running ACE on that server) or using Islands like Duala? If you do not know if they are running Mods...download Addon Sync 2009 to check for addons that are needed for joining the server. http://www.yomatools.be/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=26 In most cases you need Battleye and the 1.5 patch otherwise the server won't let you in. The Beta patch is optional. If you are joining a server with a red dot...you won't be able to join...green dots only!

Hmm...why can't seem to find the Gyrocopters in the Editor? I definately have the pbo...csj_gyroac.pbo...but I can't find them.

My problem is that I have 1.05 installed and it even says that I have 1.05 installed but it still won't let me install the Beta patches saying that I have 1.04 installed. I'll download from Stuns link and try again. Edit: Nope...still not working! Edit No. 2: *Slaps forehead*...I forgot to delete the Beta folder and all is fine now :p I hope this helps you Helbert as well

When using "Names" under the "Show Status" settings...if someone disconnects whilst looking at them...their name stays on the screen until I leave the game. Also...why do we you have to update sooo often?. A lot of people are complaining on Multiplayer. For me, I don't really care...but I am getting sick of listening to it.

I has asked Hitcher if he was going to port OFP Car Wars Mod to Armed Assault 1 and all I got back was a "maybe" and that he was too busy at the time. So thanks...I'm looking forward to this one! OFP Car Wars Mod http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=48060

Parachuting....After the last update, flickers left to right so I can't see where I'm landing. Before the update, it was beautiful. Also when you have a parachute in you gear then parajump...for some reason it disappears occasionally.

Thanks champ for the quick reply! I looked at all 3 scenarios at Micro$oft but none of them applied to me so I deleted @ACE and started again. Ran updater in Administrator mode and all is well. Thanks again!

I've been playing with ACE2 and using Six Updater for awhile now...my problem is that I updated @ACE to 332 but it's still showing 330 when joining a game. So I go to Six Updater again and it is showing 332 so I cannot redo the patch. My Question...how/or where can I download the 103Mb file by itself or fix this problem?

I find these drivers better than Nvidia's stock standard ones http://downloads.guru3d.com/Videocards---NVIDIA-ForceWare-Vista_c32.html

Please...please...please...add a script so that when people join an ACE server...tell them that they need the ACE Mod when they have not got it. It's soo annoying when they just keep on trying to connect using Vanilla! Thanks

Try V2.0.3 http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=6649 Ps. Don't tick the Beta folder

LOL...I was about to write about the opposite but for Vista 64. Arma would just go to 0FPS...pixelate then crash, but after removing the page file from the secondary drive(gaming drive)...no CTD's have occured! So all I have is page file on my primary hard drive.

Most likely you have placed addons in a folder without adding an addon folder. Example: Wrong.... D:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\Achmeds_Addons_Pack\72virgins.pbo Right.... D:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\Achmeds_Addons_Pack\addons\72virgins.pbo

Thanks for the link....strange but I have the "Bus Artifact" problem and I have a PCI-Express video card

Yeehaa...downloading @ 13Kb/sec....what great speed...you may never know...it may also go back to the future it's that fast! Edit: Now it's down to 10kb/sec....woohoo!(Note: I usually download @ least 1Mb/sec)

What does your Shortcut Properties Target read? "-mod=beta" has to be first

Legend!!!:jump_clap: So when is BIS going to hire you? People like you make Arma 2 more enjoyable! Keep up the great work!

When it starts artifacting....press and hold left shift then Numpad minus together...release then type in flush. This flushes the video memory and it's a trick since the original OFP.

GPU-Z is what I've been using...http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/ On the sensors tab...click on the result(middle column) and you will get the Minimum/Maximum/Average result. Alternatively, you can log the result to a file.

I had the same problem but all it was was to change the crysis64.exe back to Arma2.exe and it worked.

If your like me...I had forgotten to rename crysis64.exe back to arma2.exe before applying the patch.:icon_rolleyes:
