Welcome back. I hope with this banner up, it means we are at least free to post welcome backs.

So your problem is that there isn't a human player(squad leader) forced to explain to every new player and hold their hands in the game. I assume a squad leader doesn't have anything better to do than to explain the game to someone that possibly will be gone after five minutes. And what if the new people have to struggle with asshole squad leaders? Wouldn't they give up?

Nothing you can do, server can't keep up.

Delete arma2oa.cfg, run game and redo your settings. Exit and post your new arma2oa.cfg. If you delete your profile file you will have to redo your keybindings. Your GPU memory (localVRAM) should be 2147483647, older versions of arma had problems with identifying the correct amount but maybe this bug resurfaced on your system setup. Are you running the latest beta? Version of your catalyst drivers?

I assume this is pointed to me. ArmA 2 and ArmA 2 OA had always warping issues. These were fixed but I think only for the ArmA 2 OA version (not sure). If this is it, there is nothing you can do.

As you have the steam version of ArmA2 OA it might be better to get the beta through steam in properties.

VirusTotal online scan for beclient.dll Seems to be a false positive, only Avira flags it.

Are you playing with ArmA2 or ArmA2OA.

From the first post of the thread you are quoting:

If you bought only ArmA II Operation Arrowhead then you have to either install ArmA 2 Free (Download, Activation Serial,Update Patch) with reduced visual quality or buy ArmA 2. From the video you posted you are trying to enter a server that uses ArmA2 (check expansions line) and probably has a mission that requires ArmA2 content (you get the error msg that you are missing "cabuilding2"). You might have played there missions that didn't require ArmA2.

It should look something like this: http://i.imgur.com/v9Ho4l.jpg CA expansion seems like you might have ArmA2 but is not correctly installed or identified. How do you start ArmA2OA? If with a shortcut link, can you post the target line (eg. "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2oa.exe" -nosplash -world=empty -mod=.....)"? Can you go to editor and load Chernarus or Utes island? Is it a digital or disc purchase? If digital which eshop(steam, ....) ? You don't need combined operations (Combined Operations = ArmA2 + ArmA2 OA). You already have ArmA2 OA but we don't know if you have ArmA2 or a botched installation.

Slight annoyances with the installer/updater. I have installed PlayWithSIX in another drive and yet when updating it prompts to install on the default. I got the sorry prompt and after that the thank you prompt. Wasn't this already addresed?

This is the content from ArmA 2. The server you are trying to connect runs with ArmA 2 + ArmA 2 OA, as most of the servers. If you don't have it, you will have to buy it or install the reduced quality ArmA 2 Free.

From the screenshot from your other post, I don't see anything wrong with battleye. It's the usual message while connecting. Any error in arma2oa.rpt?

Can you check your arma2oa.rpt for possible errors? You might have to enable show hidden files. It's on "C:\Users\<YOUR USERNAME>\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 OA\Arma2OA.rpt".

Your keys folder in ArmA2 folder is part of the signature system. CENSORED

From the ArmA X steam page: I guess they remove ArmA X when they have a sale, possible because this always 40% off would stack with the sale, bringing it down to an unwanted low price.

1.62 is for ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead.

Did you check CPU usage per core? My guess, AI thread runs on one CPU core and usually it is maxed out. As you enter more bots, the already maxed out core can't keep updating the rest of the game's threads as quick as before (more AI > more calculations) with ultimate result having the game's threads than run on the other cores to be unutilized as they wait to be updated. Less CPU usage on the remaining cores equals less total cpu % usage. All these ultimate results to less GPU usage due to the game not being able to update the scene as quick as before due to AI calculations and send it to the graphics card.

Inside ".\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\DLCsetup\" there are the installations for each DLC. Try to run datacachepreprocessor.exe for each DLC, maybe it will rewrite the encrypted DLCs with the new serial. You might have to remove the old DLC installations. You could also try to save the registry keys for the game serials (A2 & A2OA) from your disk versions, verify game cache for both A2 & A2OA to repair the registry keys for paths, uninstall all DLCs, import the saved game serials to registry and then install the DLCs. Maybe then the DLCs will be encrypted with your new serials.

Can you login to https://store.bistudio.com/? When you go the download page, under the download link for the sprocket downloader there is a link for direct downloads of the files. "If you experience problems with the downloader, you may wish to use direct link to download with browser here" Click on here to get them.

It could be a firewall problem with your ports. You could manually forward the ports on your PC and router. With beta 95654 a fix was introduced: But I assume both client and server must use this beta or newer.

@OP Don't forget to install latest patches for Arma2:Free. And when you run Arma2:Free and Arma2:OA tells what's the version number on the right bottom corner for both the games.

He said that he owns: Nothing about Arma 2. @OP, assuming you have the steam version of Arma 2: Free, make sure you start steam as administrator then verify integrity of game files for Arma 2: Free. Once finished, start once Arma 2: Free just to get in game menu. Quit and retry Arma 2: OA.

You most probably have an outdated graphics card, what is it?
