We have identified a problem with the PlayerIds used to identify players in the multiplayer games. The problem is that while PlayerIds are unique for individual products, the same PlayerId can be used for a different product and players with different products can play together on the same servers.
Products currently conflicting are:
A2 / A2Free
A2OA / ArmA 2: Reinforcements / ArmA X Anniversary Edition
The conflict for the Operation Arrowhead family of products was solved by changing PlayerId for all players using ArmA 2: Reinforcements or ArmA X Anniversary Edition. The users ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead will find their PlayerIds unchanged. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused, but unfortunately such conflict cannot be solved in a 100 % backwards compatible way.
The solution is implemented in build 94002 and will be available as a public beta first, and a stable patch later.
Hi everyone,
since Sunday july 1st I noticed a change in my Player ID. Before the DDOS attack on the Hive it was:
103170AX (using Arma X)
after the attack its now:
103170
The result is someone playing the same character (or me playing his...depends on the way you look at it)
Can someone help me to change that back or tell me what to do?
PlayerId change for Reinforcements / ArmA X users
in ARMA 2 & OA - MULTIPLAYER
