Hi I am trying to figure out how to update my dedicated server (running on a remote box) to play APEX. Is there a special parameter command to use with steamcmd to make the server get the APEX extension files? Or do I have to manually upload the client files to the server (which would be painful) ? Thank you for assistance

Hi, Ever since the beta release I do not seem to be able to apply .arma3profile settings. I Named the profile server during alpha and had an server.arma3alphaprofile. I now see that a file server.Arma3Profile was created so I copied my settings from server.Arma3AlphaProfile to server.Arma3Profile but got no luck. Is there anything else to do? Im using "standard" config: http://pastebin.com/XKz081TQ thank you

Just out of curiosity, do you all got your difficulty settings applied properly in beta?

Hi, I am running arma2 servers on a dedicated box behind a pfsense firewall, everything been running fine for months. Today I am no longer able to connect, I get stuck few seconds on "Joining Game..." to finally receive a "Connection Failed...". I can see the game server being up and running when querying it via game tracker or from my own PC with HLSW. I tried disabling blocking rules on pfsense (as I got a few rules being auto updated) without luck... I would apreciate if someone could try to join the following server and let me know if they are getting the same error: 87.98.194.26:2402 -=UNDP=- H.A.R.D. C.O.R.E. Coop The server is running in vanilla mode (no addons) at the moment. Any help / idea will be apreciated!

Hi 2 players (husband and wife) who bought 2 boxed versions of the game (each one has its own key) are not able to connect at the same time to my dedicated server. They can perfectly connect if the other is not connected but if one of them is on the second can't join. Is there any parameter I missed? I know thats possible but can't figure out how... thanks for your help

Hey, to get BAF and PMC extensions on my dedicated box do I just need to upload the "Addons" folders of each extension at the root of my game server ? Or do I need to load them as mods ? I used the search function with no luck. Thx

oh nice thanks

Hi, I got an error during patch from 1.52r to 1.54 with the files missions_e.pbo and missions_e.pbo.bisign If someone could upload those 2 fiels for me somewhere that would be great. Thanks by advance

no, and patching the game on my dedicated box faield on same file actually. Got the game from sprocket I just uninstalled to reinstall and when I now start sprocket.exe it says "product is already downloaded" ...

any way to save an MP campaign so you can finish it any moment later? I assume its not possible, at least couldnt find it but that would be great. I knwo about persistent battlefield btw and thats not waht I want. Basically would liek to be able to start a mission, save it, start another mission , save it too and load any of them whenever I want to continue/finish it.

Euro players may want to have a look at http://www.roxservers.com It features ACE2 install in 1 click (ACE2 files are updated every 6 hours so you just have to click to update) Also for OA servers you can turn them into combined Ops in 1 click. Some other mods are available for 1 click install. Servers are located in france so the ping for euro players is low (spain, uk, de, nl, it, be, etc)

nvm can be closed

Been makign a few tests for those who are interested or want to contribute : when creating a dedicated server you have the following options : #1 - create arma2 server => can be joined by arma2 clients #2 - create arrowhead server => can be joined by arrowhead clients #3 - create arrowhead server launching arma2 aswell => can be joined by clients combining arma2 and arrowhead #1 is using arma2server.exe with traditional command line #2 is using arma2oaserver.exe with traditional commandline #3 is using arma2oaserver.exe with traditional command line, needs arma2 contents What is NOT working : - create arma2 server launching arrowhead as a mod using arma2server.exe - joining a server combining arma2 and arrowhead using arma2oa.exe "-mod=C:\arma2" does not work, iit has to be "-mod=C:\arma2;C:\arma2\Expansion" If someone has complementary informations or wana share any thought feel free to submit.

have u tried with argument "-mod=your_path_to_OA\extension;your_path_to_arma2" even if you got both in same folder

Hi, back to arma1 times to patch the game I just exported the registry key containing the install path and cd key from my comp and imported it on the dedicated machine (changing the install path) and I was able to patch. Now with arma2 I dont seem to be able to do this anymore. Could some1 confirm this is not possible or tell me what to do to make this possible pls? Patch 1.04 was ok to upload but 1.05 touches about 7Gb of files even if patch itself is only 250Mb and this is taking ages to upload. Not to mention this would help for future updates too. Thx in advance and sorry if this was already discussed but I diddnt find anything relevant yet.

Actually I figured out why it didnt work with my pc registry key : i run a 32 bits OS and my server is 64 bits. So I just tweaked the registry key and I was finally able to patch : here is how to do : you must have the arma1.01-1.04 (1.04 recommended) files on ur machine. If you got 32 bits OS make a .reg file with these contents : Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2] "MAIN"="C:\\GameInstalls\\arma2" "KEY"=hex:XX,XX,XX,XX,XX,XX,XX,XX,XX,XX,XX,XX,XX,XX,XX change path and key to yours (check your key on ur own install) for 64 bits OS : Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2] "MAIN"="C:\\GameInstalls\\arma2" "KEY"=hex:XX,XX,XX,XX,XX,XX,XX,XX,XX,XX,XX,XX,XX,XX,XX change path and key to yours (check your key on ur own install) execute the .reg file on ur machine Install the patch voila

seems i wasnt the only one, i saw another guy with issues but whatever, the touched files were "only" about 1 Gb this time so im done uploading.

my situation : deep sh*t I reinstalled everything from scratch on my home PC and im reuploading everything, will be faster even if its going to take a very long time. I wont bother ppl anymroe making another trouble topic, I just got tons of error messages saying error with addons/blabla at every file it tries to update. If only BI could finally make a simple patch that you just have to extract cuz everytime its a real pain with their 150Mb patch touching 6Gb files.

of course no else I would not complain and let the steam update go

i smell epic fail with this patch and ofc I guess you still cannot bind server to a specific IP

1.03 final no beta stuff or whatever. Anyway im reinstalling everything from scratch on home comp and will try to upload the tons of touched files, will take days tried to find touched files but no1 seems to have uploaded them yet. I did that for arma 1.03 to share with dedicated hosters and will do it when i get 1.04 on but right now im just deeply scr*wed

great dl'ed patch 2 times, got tons of errors when installing it, thx bi for making patches touching 6Gb files that you cant just extract as a standard zip

ye nvm i figured out that i had deleted the arma2.exe as it was useless, put it back the patch goes and fails again but later saying some addons stuffs are corrupted and that patch file is probably corrupted, this is going rly epic, redownloading the patch from another mirror now... Any chances sum1 got the touched files even ig i know it must be about 6Gb ?

Epic, I installed arma2 directly on my dedicated machine to not have to upload 6Gb files every time a patch is released, worked fine until now, when I try to apply 1.04 patch it says "error : arma2 is not installed on that machine or install is corrupted" which is bullshit since I could install 1.03 without problem. And yes I checked registry and arma2 keys are still in.
