thanks seany i'll try that out, i know this is a bit of an odd problem really i couldn't believe it myself when it happend! not at home at the moment so will try it in a bit and let you know how it goes! EDIT: thanks mate that solved the problem. Something i never would have thought of trying.

Hi, for some reasong that i have not been able to work out, whenever my usb joystick is plugged in i always always always get a CTD on startup. Take it out and it works fine! it's really odd! could this be a problem with my joystick drivers (which i have reinstalled couple of times :( ) or with arma 2 itself? My joystick is a speedlink black widow sl-6640. Anyone else had a similar problem?

What would the correct addition be to add to the shortcut target?

Hi guys, loving the mod. However I have not been able to play on an ace2 server since i installed the 1.05 patch. When i use the ACE2 shortcut to launch the game it tells me the 1.05 patch is available (already installed). I have reinstalled the mod and made sure it is updated. A bit stumpted as to what i should do really. Attempting to patch again just gives me a message saying the game is up to date. Any ideas? Thanks

I have to admit, that i'm running vanilla at the moment (i'm based in the uk) and there are vary rarely many servers with many people playing. Also no one hardly ever talks to you. i'm a bit frustrated as this game has such potential but it seems impossible to enjoy it. I always see videos on you tube of epic online battles and i'm wondering why i can't have that!

well i'm installing ACE2 at the moment, am a little confused as to how to keep it updated though. I'll worry about that later i guess haha and thanks sparta i'll try those servers :)

Great, thanks mate. I'm based in the UK but i play late at night anyway so i reckon that would work out well. Thanks. I'll check out your site :) look forward to seeing you online! Also i'll get that ace mod too

Hi all, I'm really enjoying the game, returning after the 1.04 patch which appears to have made the game playable for me apart from the odd problem here and there. Basically i've been looking into playing on line but i can rarely find good servers where people are chatty and making a real effort. Also I am drowning in mods and don't know which to try. Are there any recommended ones that people can suggest? It's such an indepth game but don't feel like i'm getting the most play out of it as i could. There must be people out there who get together and have a really good time... whereas i just end up hanging around on the carrier waiing for a pic up while no one will talk to me... any ideas guys? Thanks

oops sorry for posting in the wrong area! Ok looks like a restart is in order!

The most annoying problem that I have found since release has been the fact that i'm trying to find Lopotev and his crew, i go to Staroye to help out the guirillas. Once i have done this i ask for a pick up and.... well the bugger never shows up! it's so annoying. i can call the support in a couple of times, he assures me he is on his way but then never turns up! so annoying!

get over it? you're quite the cheeky one are'nt you? I just wanted a bit of feedback from other players and wondered whether there was anything I could do my end to help it. In actual fact I opened the ports just for the sake of trying, and it did seem to reduce this effect a little. I don't know if this is just coincedence or what but it worked!

ah ok, only down side is that none of my friends play this game. Sad times :( haha

i very much enjoy playing online in arma2, the only problem is that all human team mates never run smoothly. They are always always choppy, skipping forward. Does everyone/anyone else get this? I have an 8mb internet connection through sky and i am not running wireless. Can i even do anything to help against this? Opening the ports worth the try? thanks EDIT: apologies, meant to put this in the roublehsooting section

ah good point, what i meant was i didn't realise that removing the bin.pbo would cause it to reappear of it's own accord. I thought i would have to do a full reinstall. But i don't really understand how these things work

Hi Flightster. I was having this problem. I personnaly solved it by moving the bin.pbo file onto my desktop (from the dta folder) i did this because i had the 'no blur mod' and this seemed to keep getting me kicked. When i moved it the bin.pbo reappeared of it's own accord and now i can connect fine. Sorry there is no official explanation as to how or why it worked but it did. Give it a go. Can't hurt and it might do the trick! Best of luck
