Try reinstalling DirectX 9c, perhaps?

I would like to be able to dis-allow beta code on our primary dedi-server, leaving beta code to run on our pub and practice servers. How can I disable beta code on a server?

This may be a point for bringing up a beta .bisign for servers that want to have beta code allowed.

NEED HELP.....


we can't use beta actually.

This works, no beta:

call "C:\A2CO\ARMA2OAserver.exe" "-mod=Expansion;common" "-mod=@CBA;@zeu_AI"

But this don't, with beta:

call "C:\A2CO\Expansion\beta\ARMA2OAserver.exe"  "-mod=%_ARMA2PATH%;EXPANSION;Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion;ca"  "-mod=@CBA;@zeu_AI"

The last "code" is from http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=101214
I have removed all -cpuCount and other important stuff.
Seems to me that I startup the server in a wrong way. I would like to get the beta running though.

It's a win7 64-bit. No steam, separate DVD's installed into the same folder.
I used the "_runA2CO_beta.cmd" for NoSteam and modified it a bit to clean it all up. But players get kicked if I use call line that came with "_runA2CO_beta.cmd". The server starts fine, showing a lot of "arma 2".

When people get kicked, there is just a "disconnected" in the public.log. No other information. Not even in the servers rpt-fil.

Does anybody else know how I can use the beta with A2:CO, BAF, PMC and other addons?

beta.bat

start /wait Expansion\beta\arma2oaserver.exe -noFilePatching -config=serverOA.cfg -cfg=basicOA.cfg -name=OA -port=2402 -profiles=D:\ARMA -nosound -cpuCount=2 -exThreads=1 -mod=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\expansion

[NoBrainer]

yep

The same mods loaded as in the cmd-fila, which dont work correctly.
It kicks "some" people out and other not.
Even if same client mods are loaded.

So to prevent people from getting kicked out, I can't start with that beta string. I can only use vanilla A2:CO.

oohhh

Have they fixed it?

[78048] Fixed: Signatures GameSpy key truncated to at most 200 Bytes. Too long list has caused other GS keys were not available due to overflow.

hmm...I might check this one out....

[NoBrainer]

would it be a big deal of making something to make all the clients use the same beta. Like some *.bikey for each beta thats allowed or something.

Having a hard time checking what the clients uses.
