suppresed

I have the same thoughts about this, it sucks you cant disable steam query port on it. My game would just remain "player connecting" for ever. Sadly I have not found any fixes yet

Everytime I start the dedicated server with its server.cfg file and then open the game on the same computer I get this "Session Lost" message within a second of joining the server I did on my own computer. I have tried on different computers both launching game AND server on them, I've also tried to start the server on my own computer then have someone else join it and vice-versa SAME THING HAPPENS. I know it is an old game. It is not an answer to attest to such facts. Also is there an option to make a LAN server, something I can put on the server.cfg file? I am very pissed off this is happening. THINGS I'VE TRIED: REINSTALLING THE GAME AND ALL DLCS SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER: arma 2, arma 2 oa, arma 2 baf, arma 2 pmc, arma 2 acr. server.cfg BattlEye = 0; verifySignatures = 0 through 2; equalModRequired = 0 and 1; loopback = true; this one was successful but only to connect to the dedicated server from the computer you're executing the dedicated server from. Which is pointless. Whether it is a BattlEye problem only or whatever, I have no clue. HELP

I've been trying to make the dedicated server work for almost half a year now and just can't get it. I need it for missions that do not allow saving. I've tried all the parameters and config file options withing the TADST. Can't get it, I wonder if it is just because of the GameSpy servers being shut down like 2 years ago, but then how do other people have them running? Any help will be appreciated! Thanks
