I just updated my arma 2 to 1.03 from steam auto-update. It was a long update that took about an hour or so. After it was updated, i went to multiplayer and no servers show up in the list! And yes i have it set on internet, not lan. Is it something to do with steam? something to do with the patch?? i mean everthing was working perfectly before this patch so..... Any suggestions or related agony to be shared would be appreciated.

thanks man for the info, i actually deinstalled norton since it slowed down my computer too much. I now use avira anti vir since its offering the same protection while using much less cpu resources. After messing with arma 2 online, i noticed that the gameplay is much smoother now and slightly improved on fps and graphics. Im not using a top end comp system but running it on an an ati 4890 on highest settings gives me no problems like it did b4 the patch. I also found a 130 man server and surprisingly there were barely any bugs and it was not laggy. The patch was definitely a step in the right direction and the game can only improve from here on, still remains the most graphically pleasing and realistic sim shooter ever made.

hi guys i finally resolved the problem! I noticed that even though it was listed as an "allowed" item, my internet security (norton antivirus) was stopping me from seeing the servers list after the 1.03 update. The only way to get it working was to disable norton antivirus during the playing of this game. Im glad i solved this problem and i was wondering if any others who use nortan antivirus have encountered this problem. I apologize for the repeated posts but i was getting anxious after 3 days and i felt like an addict on withdrawal!

ok no bitching here, ive found my thread that i can reply on. I went ahead with the deinstallation and reinstalled the game again from steam. I fired up the game again and all seemed ok till i went to the multiplayer option...Again no servers are listed and just a green circle shows up so i can host my own game. Am i the only one that has this problem from the steam update? On the reinstall there was no patch needed as it installed it to ver. 1.03.58...right away. Any help would be appreciated .

thanks for the reply, im surprised im able to reply here even ...lol . What should i do? deinstall the game and try reinstalling it again? You are the only helpful person on this forum. It seems that the other moderators and immediate associates to bohemia are more concerned about me double posting than helping me with my problem.

it seems the developers have closed all my posts and warned me not to cross post!! ITS funny since ive had over 100's of views yet noone wants to leave a helpful response. Id like to reply to one of my posts yet i cant! My priveledges have been cancelled and all i wanted to know was how come i didnt see the server lists after my update to 1.03! Its been 3 days since the update and im unable to see any servers still in multiplayer mode. IS this a steam issue ?is this a patch issue? my files seem correct after a steam validation check. This is my last post so dont worry bohemia...i know you all want to cover up your bugs and problems with steam... there must be a hidden agenda as to why noone wants to reply a simple answer for me but i think its obvious:) Yes this is my last post (freedom of speech) and if i dont get this solved after today, i will ask for a refund and i will spread the word about the bugs and bad community help you get from this game ......funny all i wanted to know was why couldnt i play mulitplayer > maybe this is too much to ask from a customer just trying to make their product work.

just wondering guys, ever since i updated through steam i cant see any servers when i go to multiplayer. I was told this was just a server patch that would come 24-30 hrs after. Its been over 34 hours now and still no servers listed in multi player. I heard other people already playing multi-p online with version 1.03. IF so, how come i cant? IS this cause i have this game from steam? when is this going to be working again?

Ever since steam updated my game to 1.03 2 days ago, i cant get onto any multiplayer online games! When i go to multiplayer, no servers come up even though i have the option set on internet. Not one server shows up so is this a patch problem or something wrong on my end? I even validated my arma files through steam and all checked out ok. Anyone else with these problems?? ---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ---------- help, someone reply me before i do a complete deinstall/ reinstall !!

ever since i updated to 1.03 2 days ago, i dont see any servers listed when i try and play multiplayer. Someone told me its cause theres no server host files patch out yet but thats not true. Some people are playing online now. Is it just steam users? is it a corrupt download of the patch i had? I validated the game thorugh steam and all files checked out ok. Its been 2 days now so there should be some servers showing up under multiplayer but still none! Please tell me what the problem could be otherwise im going to deinstall and reinstall the game all over again.

mine worked but no servers come up when i try and go multiplayer. Not working online yet>??

any other steam users with the same prob still?

anyone?

i just checked to see if i can join multiplayer and still.....there are no servers listed . Its been over 30 hrs now.

thanks man, i never play single player and im hooked on multiplayer. Pvp/ deathmatch servers are my fav yet there are so few of em out there. The co op thing is the main campaign and im guessing after this patch its only going to make it more popular. Hopefully the improvements will also be for pvp/deathmatch campaigns.

the server patch update on steam will come out the same time as non steam game users? I heard its already out so there should be servers running up when i go to multiplayer but its still empty. Could i have a corrupt dowload for the patch or is it not out yet for steam users?

anyone know or have an inside scoop on when the multiplayer servers will be running on the new patch?

forgot??!!? thats a serious thing to forget when releasing a patch. I never even played this on single player mode. Any idea when servers will be up and running on the new 1.03 patch?

hey guys i just updated arma 2 through the steam update to 1.03. After a long download, i tried the game and no servers came up in multiplayer! I waited an hour and tried it again with all security and firewalls off. Still no servers showed up ( and yes its under internet not lan option) . I tried hosting a game myself and was able to , but noone joined. Am i the only one with this problem after the steam patch??
