  1. That's not entirely accurate but it is for the most part entirely true. There are plenty of servers that are trying to be setup as combined operations yet they are showing up as red circles with the question marks and then there are those that are setup correctly that show up green running combined operations.

    Dedicated server not in browser

    We haven't had these issues for our customers but the setup is rather tricky to nail down. Once down though, it seems rudimentary and rather simple.
  3. We've seen an influx of people who are being told various inconsistencies by various server providers so I just wanted to clear some things up for everyone. With ArmA II Operation Arrowhead you can do the following: Run vanilla OA and/or mods, missions, addons, etc. for it Run vanilla ArmA II including Chernarus and Utes. Run ArmA II mods, missions, addons, etc. I've had various people coming to me being told that ArmA II and/or any parts of it can't be run server side as Combined Operations and that is untrue. We've got quite a few customers who are running many of their favorite addons for ArmA II on their new ArmA II Operation Arrowhead/Combined Operations servers. The server shouldn't show up with a red x either if configured properly as well. It will show up green running as combined operations just the same as it would for vanilla Operation Arrowhead providing you as a client have your end setup correctly as well like Dwarden and Maruk are explaining in another thread.

    BI, I love you!!! Thanks for the quick patch out which saved my sanity yesterday! Anyhow, I'd still like to see, discuss, find a way to implement a system for all GSPs to have a bit closer contact and to be involved in beta releases whereas we can all deliver on releases to the community at large. I'll cook up some ideas and forward them via email/pm as well.

    Operation Arrowhead Dedicated Server

    @Jest Seriously though the easiest avenue for us was to simply use the sprocket download to our master file server, install it, run the patch updater, package up the files for tcadmin to push out, and then no need after the patch to physically install the game to get it to run previous to the server executable.

    Best Arma 2 server hosting?

    I'm very happy to announce that we're running 100% on this install even with the severe limitations that were dealt towards GSPs with this release and no dedicated server executable. Come check us out and get your ArmA II Operation Arrowhead or ArmA II server now!

    I'd be more than happy to allot time if they were at least forthcoming with information versus myself being told that there would be server executables in the sprocket download and then there is nothing of the sort. I'd also be patient if I didn't have to inform hundreds of clients that I'm sorry but we cannot provide your server to you as BI hasn't released a viable alternative other than for us to purchase dozens of keys to do this. I've been in contact for more than 2 months with various representatives and was assured the server executable was to be provided. The executable was provided in a client format with drastic limitations to an extent but not to one that was suggested and questioned from our functionality and to assist all the gamers out there wanting their servers. I've contacted Sprocket, I've contacted SecuROM, I've PM'd, emailed, and submitted support requests multiple places with multiple entities and haven't received an iota of information and have decided to come here so that I may have something to point customers to in order to facilitate bringing a server executable that isn't restrictive. I'd also like to stress the importance of getting a semblance of a forum, mailer, etc. for GSP's to have direct and secure contact with the developers to better prepare for updates, new releases, and to provide valuable insight as well. It's simply frustrating that the 1.0.7 release was done and we hadn't had any foresight that it was coming and then the release of OA was a gigantic misrepresentation from the standpoint of the information that we were relayed for well over a month previous to the release.

    I'm wondering if BI plans to support GSPs which in turn support a large number of players for OA? We can install Arrowhead for clients on up to 5 Server boxes with each key every 6 months. We have significantly more than 5 server boxes with a significant number of clients whom would like to have their Arrowhead servers. We don't/won't stack multiple Arrowhead servers onto the same boxes for obvious reasons and I really think it would make sense to offer the server executable as there is for ArmA II. I'm a bit peeved with the setup thus far and getting help Maruk as you suggested to try through Sprocket is futile. I have a difficult enough time getting their webpage to load. Also, I would think it's beneficial for BI to be involved in the process of support especially for such a large segmentation. Is there any plan for a windows based server executable soon? Is there any plan to avoid the gross manipulation of the registry that this expansion demands? Is there any plan to support the GSPs to make things considerably smoother for the end users? Is there anywhere we can go to facilitate this and/or to create a mailing list, separate forum, etc. for all GSPs to work together like other games/platforms to benefit all? I don't think it's unrealistic to believe that there are many that host their own servers or have dedicated boxes but there are a substantial number that have leased/rented space to have Arrowhead hosted and expect to receive just that. I've tried multiple PMs, emails, and support tickets with a countless number of representatives from many different varying involved entities and have yet to find anything that ultimately proves to be beneficial to all. I'm hoping this will strike a chord and that the community here can express their concern at the severe limitations this puts on a very large segment of this community. Andy

    ARMA 2 for OnLive?

    It only stands to reason that your adding another layer between yourself and the server. Unless they start hosting their own servers it will inevitably suffer from the pc standpoint for the simple reason no one wants any more latency.

    Operation Arrowhead demo "Coming Soon"

    Don't know but that video looks really sweet! I'm pretty excited to see it.
