after i have read nearly the complete 60 sites here, tried something out
and checking another few thread around the question "bad version..."
i have buyed Arma 2, month ago on DVD an installed it, never used any mods or something... due to my experience with mods not working and game crashing i play arma, arma2, and arrowheed in the "virgin version" without any mods.
i have bought and downloaded Operation Arrowhead over steam.
so i have arma2 installed and Arrowhead installed.
arma2 on my hdd under games and
arrowhead on my hdd under steam.
no i want to play on 2 servers, wich are very good. and also my friends are playing there.
please take a look at this screen from the server browser:
so in my opinion, everything is fine but im still getting no access to one of these servers, and obvisiously there are players online on these servers.
if read something in this forum about
"disabling mods" - no need for that, didnt get some
"delete arma2 from "my documents"" - tried, didnt work
"create shortcut with infos like that "%_ARMA2OAPATH%\ARMA2OA.exe" "-mod=%_ARMA2PATH%;%_ARMA2OAPATH%\EXPANSION;ca" " - tried that - that didnt work also it is the exact same way the BI script starts the game if u choose "start arma: combined operations" from the steam popup.
Im running out of ideas here, my friends are at war and i cant help them :(
If there is any way to solve this problem, please help me.

Hallo Guys,
after i have read nearly the complete 60 sites here, tried something out
and checking another few thread around the question "bad version..."
i have buyed Arma 2, month ago on DVD an installed it, never used any mods or something... due to my experience with mods not working and game crashing i play arma, arma2, and arrowheed in the "virgin version" without any mods.
i have bought and downloaded Operation Arrowhead over steam.
so i have arma2 installed and Arrowhead installed.
arma2 on my hdd under games and
arrowhead on my hdd under steam.
no i want to play on 2 servers, wich are very good. and also my friends are playing there.
please take a look at this screen from the server browser:
http://tv-clan.com/download/screens/OA_serverbrowser.jpg
there is an "Jägerbattaillon" and a "1 Parachute" - Server
as u see there is a red line marked under expension, saying "ca;expansion"
if i am trying to connect to one of these servers i will get the message
"Bad version, Server rejected Connection"
(but these are the only server with that error, u can see that by the red dot left hand of the server line)
as u can see in the browser the server version is 1.52.
this is my version of Arrowhead too (1.52), look at this screen
http://tv-clan.com/download/screens/OA_version.jpg
my arma 2 version is 1.07
http://tv-clan.com/download/screens/arma2_version.jpg
i started the game over steam with the "start Combined Operations" mode
i can see BOTH games in the expansions tab at the Arrowhead mainmenu, look here

so in my opinion, everything is fine but im still getting no access to one of these servers, and obvisiously there are players online on these servers.
