I have installed Arma II:OA/CO using steam and I believe that I have all the add-ons and patches for it. My friends set up a server/game a few days back and I was able to connect to it just fine. The next day, the redid the server, not changing anything except the name, and I tried to connect to it. Though this time I can not connect to the server. I will double click the server, put in the password and then it will say " Joining game" for about 5-10 seconds. It will then return be back to the server select screen and show me " Connecting failed" with out telling me what happened.
So far I searched the whole forums for answers for this problem and tried every solution to the best of my ability. Sadly, I am not the best with computers so I still have to take babysteps when doing certain things. Some servers I can connect to with out any trouble but some servers I get " Connecting failed" too.
I also tried opening some ports for ArmA2 but I'm not sure I did it right since I am really new at opening ports :P ( "googleing" it now)
I have a Belkin router FD7234-4 v4.
I would really appericiate the help as this game seems pretty enjoyable, especially for someone who is in the military :).
