I am hosting a new session within a takistani map i made through the map editor rather then the map wizard, my problem is every time me brother joins in he gets a " uses modified data British armed forces lite" message and consequently cannot enter map? I am on Win7 arma2&arma2OA(both physical copy's) installed and patched to 1.56. He has WinXP and arma2OA(physical copy) installed to patch 1.56. it bothers me that he gets the message what would cause this to happen? We both have clean copy's with no intentional mods being installed, maybe just a clean install on his part of arma2OA would sort things out.

thanks for the reply, it just seems strange that not the host(me) but me brother receives the message that HE "uses modified data British forces lite" I would have thought it would say that I use modified data since i have arma2 and he hasn't. we also set up just 2 basic squads with takistan militia which is OA if i am not mistaken and he receives the message that HE uses modified. Ill try again to set up a very basic map. I am sure it will get sorted... thanks again, awesome awesome sim by the way.

wow.....i also purchased today on the 18th arma2OA from EB sydney and having the exact same problems. I also contacted placebo but failed to mention i also was installing onto a original arma 2 directory that was all good for online play? drinks all round to a somber start to me campaign:( i too can provide all necessary legitimacy of arma2 and arma2OA by photos if need be......
