ARMA 2 Server - Interest?

I can't log in. It just says connecting failed every time.

Let me try logging and to see what's going on. Be back in a few.

It worked fine for me. Have you logged on before? Also, the VON is working fine.

It just doesn't bloody work. DV8, no, I haven't logged in before. I'm definitely entering the correct info - it even says Grogheads Arma 2 on the server list. But every single time, connecting failed. Not much of an error message is it?

Oh wait a minute! Must be a version mismatch; I could have sworn I'd grabbed 1.60 but apparently not! How embarrassing.

Just grabbing it now. You'd think the frigging error message could've been a bit more informative though. How lazy.

I'm glad its a easy fix...

Well I got in and had a quick look around. Got killed a few times. I kept getting dumped to my desktop with an irritating "out of memory" message from Windows, despite my little sidebar widget saying I was only using around 66% of my RAM. :(

I have no idea. Are you running dropbox or anything that require internet access?

Have fun session tonight with DV8 and SDR. Although I think I might have annoyed them when I kept destroying the planes and helicopters in the armory. ::)

What's the point of having an armory full of weapons if you can't plow stuff up with them?

Anyway, I updated my game to v 1.62 after we finished playing. Hopefully it's compatible.

I am running Dropbox but according to task manager it's using about 160MB of RAM. That wouldn't do it, would it?

A view from out multiplayer session last night with DV8, SDR and myself. You can see evidence of the intense battle being waged for the airfield. I am making my way to the top of the hill on the left of the shot overlooking the airfield. From there I am going to ruin some bad guys day with my trust rifle. ;D

That was a tough battle. In the end we lost but it was a great challenge.

DV8 · July 25, 2012, 09:23:58 AM

Notice the DV8 was killed at the bottom left. So sad :'(

Silent Disapproval Robot · July 25, 2012, 10:30:58 AM

We didn't lose that one! We were actually turning it around and had retaken the airfield near the end. It was the one in the desert with all the T-72s where we got spanked. I think I was killed 8 times in as many minutes on that one.

Has the 1.62 patch been released for Steam yet? I installed it on my GG version last night. It adds lots of new GFX options and looks great!
