Why are my posts moderated ?! well it seems not anymore ... Anyway can anyone give me a few basic tips for addons ? or the best way to play ArmA 2 ?

I'm starting the game as Combined Operations since today. I reinstalled everything again. Do you think there is a way to download the game directly from arma2.com and not use steam ? Steam offers the CD-KEYs so maybe I can install it ?

Yes you are right ... but most of the servers use mods and thats the reason why I downloaded 50GB to try to play :) I'm not a retard I hope but all I want is to play arma 2 ao or arma 2 on most of the servers and find one that has population and some good action ! I'm looking for a minimal config just to get me started :) The green servers (green ball) supposed to be NON MODS right ? and some of them have glithches and give an error even if I can play on them ... somehow they seem to be mixed ... I installed and reinstalled clean arma from steam ... The mods ruined the game for newbies for sure ! and non moded servers are only a few and some lag pretty bad ... I know its an old game but I decided to come back to it after a long time. My internet connection and computer are very decent for ARMA. Sorry about the messed up posting that I do but this is coming from a guy that works 10 hours day and tries for 2-3 nights to get some decent ARMA action :P ---------- Post added at 01:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 AM ---------- I'm just a bit dizzy with all of this and I'm only doing it because the most servers have at least ACE ... I think there is hope for me also to get some action :P but I messed it all up and cant find a real solution to fix/play/have fun ---------- Post added at 01:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 AM ---------- Downloaded in 2 hours 53 GB :( ---------- Post added at 01:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 AM ---------- or did I lose track of time :D

I'm having some problems configuring the game ... spent the last 2 days on installing Six Updater and reinstalling ArmA 2 (and AO + DLCs) from STEAM. I get some errors in Six Updater that I'm missing some game files and I have problems connecting to servers (also some messages that remain on the screen). I'm downloading all mods from Six Updater and hope that it will fix my problem (I know it sounds stupid). What I'm trying to achieve is to have ArmA 2 and ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead working in MP 100% ! is this too much to ask ? If someone can point me to a few simple steps and directions and what mods do I really need would be great ! Thanks a lot ! ---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 AM ---------- I am pretty new to ArmA 2 and I got all the DLCs and stuff from STEAM. I just want to enjoy the game and especially the multiplayer part but this Six Updater and all the mods gave me more problems so far ... I get errors in some MP games with files missing and thats why I'm trying to download more mods ... Does the mods overwrite eachother in game ?! something is not right I think ... I really dont want to go back to the regular shooters (CoD MoH BFBC2) Do I need to update to beta ?!
