Greetings. Just got my copy of ARMA 2 today. After having some problems with installing, I finally made it. So now I have to patch it, the problem is that the first patch file I downloaded gave me an error on installing (the retry/abort/ignore one), and the next two files I downloaded could not be even extracted from rar ("File is corrupt" error on 99% of extracting), the last one I downloaded it extracted normally from rar, but when I run it, on the "extracting files" screen I always get a "Corrupt File" error when it gets to 20-30%. Any ideas anyone? maybe it is just a coincidence that i downloaded 4 corrupted files, maybe something is wrong with my system (although I tried patching Arma2 on my 2nd pc, and all the files gave me the same error), i don't know. Awaiting comments and helpful solutions. Thanks in front...

Problem is fixed. It must have surely been Gamespy problem :) So we should know next time. Have good gaming lads!

Same problem here! .. was playing yesterday ... today no servers show up in serverlist. Tried the Troubleshooting guide solution... http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Troubleshooting#Can.27t_connect_on_servers ..still the same.. I use no antivirus or firewall software.. and the windows firewall is turned off. (windows xp sp3) any ideas? EDIT: After some searching on the matter, it seems that this IS a Gamespy problem and it is not the first time it happens, and ARMA is not the only game which had such problems. They say it has something to do with their Master Server Query .. I dont even know what that means .. Gamespy even have a special topic on their forums, where volunteers report which games are offline. Check it out: http://forums.gamespy.com/action_gaming/b50683/20206805/p1 I already posted about our problem. I just hope this whole thing will be sorted out as soon as possible.

that's what im doing. I have an out of the box copy but somehow my game version is not 1.01 but 1.03.

After some more tries, i managed to extract the patches I have downloaded without any errors, but each time i run a patch i get such kind of errors maybe this will somehow help..
