Help with mutiplayer options and mouse not working

[fencer68]

Hi,

Like the title says, when I run Arma 2, I can play single player and use the LAN option to run the wizard to play say, Deathmatch, but when I try and join a server I seem to get in but I cant press any buttons like OK or Cancel.

I can move the mouse arrow but it wont change when it hovers over any buttons.

I had Arma 2/ Arrowhead/ Renforcements working on my old system but Ive just upgraded my PC and now this is happening.

I've looked around for a couple of days reading and trying to fix it but nothing works.

The closest I came to a similar problem was this on the Bohemia Wiki

"Multiplayer Issues
Can't use Multiplayer Setup Dialog

Can't use Multiplayer Setup screen. Can't select roles for a mission, can't vote for a mission, and hitting OK will not do anything.

Solution

This issue can usually be traced to nVidia's nForce networking controller. The solution is to use a different network card, if available.

Work around to be traced back

Enable native XP2 firewall, or, if using 3rd party firewall, enable Arma and uPnP architecture."

I'm not sure what it wants me to do. I looked at Windows Firewall and its enabled Arma 2. I dont use any other firewall but Windows.

The motherboard uses a Qualcomm Atheros Killer Network Lan Chip whatever that is.

Ive tried all three expansion packs to see if it changes but its still the same.

My System is

Windows 7 Professional

Intel Core i7 3770K
Gigabyte G1-SNIPER-3 Motherboard, Z77
Gigabyte Geforce GTX680 Overclocked
Kingston 16GB Kit (4x4GB), PC-12800 (1600MHz)
Intel 240GB SSD, 2.5", 520 Series
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1000W

Nvidia Driver 301.42

Cable connection with inbuilt Router that uses fixed connection.



I'd appreciate any help as I was really looking forward to playing Arma 2 on a faster system.

Cheers fencer

nothing??? I'd buy Steam version but I dont want to buy that and have two bricks...

Really? No one from Bohemia Interactive or a moderator can give me help to get the game I bought from them to actually run?

[fencer68]

As Bohemia forum troubleshooting moderators & admins were so interested in why their game wasn't working on a brand new standard current system, I thought I'd give a heads up to anyone else wanting some advice or suggestions.
It was Qualcomm Atheros Killer Network Manager which comes loaded with the Gigabyte G1-SNIPER-3 Motherboard. Uninstalled and it works. Thanks for the help.

Glad you got it sorted and its good to have that info but you can't complain about no one helping you if that problem has not been seen before and it was a problem with your system NOT the game.

[fencer68]

over two weeks without anything, not even a response?
and yeah cause its never a conflict of game to op/software/hardware...
