Will be pimp to be able to play in MP; but i can't and i don't know why. Let's C ya

[TechnoTerrorist303]

Put OA back on allowing it to combine with Arma 2 to make combined operations. Patch OA to 1.54 (assuming it's not steam). Once this is installed, try to join a server and tell us what happens.
Patches and updates are no longer being released for A2 on its own so I'd strongly suggest you use OA/CO... It actually has better performance I've found.

[Jack_Ryan_]

As far as the "Patch 1.07 is available..." panel, just click Continue past it and continue. It's another B I glitch that came with the latest 1.07 patch, we all get it now

[wipman]

Hi, i don't gonna reinstall the OA as it's useless for me; the performance on the SP campaign is horrible, from play at 35fps it falls to like 8fps or so on some missions, and the addons that i use and like are not for the OA/CO.
My problem is with the ArmA2, i don't have no more the CO; i'd uninstalled it for the reasons listed up there. Having the OA/CO i was also unable to join any server, not with the ArmA2 and neither with the CO. So... i need a solution for the ArmA2, bot for the OA/CO. Let's C ya

[Günter Severloh]

Hey wipman, that message you get for "you can download 1.07" everyone gets that. Already said here.
But when you join an Arma2 server, do you have WarMod running,
or any addons/mods other then stock Arma2?

also

do you have battleye? make sure you have that--->http://www.battleye.com/
not having battleye will kick you.

Also what is the color of the dot next to the server/s you are trying to join, red, orange, green.

[Dead3yez]

Yes, install battleye manually as Gunter said. This is because I think the patch 1.00-107 doesn't have the battleye installer, I think.

[Günter Severloh]

If I remeber correctly I think Arma2 version 1.05 has Battleye included,
but if you dont have it then go to the battleye website.

[wipman]

Hi, many thanks dudes, it'd worked; now i can join MP games. My retail ArmA2 DVD is the v1.05 i think... because i remember the BattleEye installation back on the day, so i'd guessed that it would be working after patch the game to the v1.07. Seems that i wuz wrong... but anyways, many thanks again for the help; was the (leak of) BattleEye what was causing me to not be able of join MP games. Let's C ya

[Günter Severloh]

Good Deal!
