Yea unfortunately one persons "WORK AROUND" is not everyone's solution. I feel for you. This needs to be addressed by someone. Chief

Well I found out that with Norton you can turn on SILENT mode temporarily (it says for an hour) and then BE will update and launch just fine. This was yesterday and I just tried it and had no problem so it seems. So I suspect, at least for me, when ever I get a BE failed to launch on update I will drop into SILENT mode and let BE updaye itself. So far I've got no alerts from Norton so here's hoping. Chief

I come up with the following .... I can exclude the program from being checked, but should I? Norton has never alerted on Battleeye before now. I originally ran the ArmA 3 exe and came up with a Norton alert. So I did a Steam integrity check where it found 1 file that had to be replaced. Then I ran ArmA 3 exe again and it, Norton, alerted again. So I deleted the folder you indicated above and did another Steam integrity check and Steam replaced the folder. However I got another Norton alert when I ran ArmA 3 again. I can exclude Battleeye from Norton checking it but my question is WHY it's alerting on it. Chief

Does the server have to be updated for this, or will it work on any server? Yea, it's an uninformed noobe question.

pardon my n00be type question but how does this play out for online servers? Do you have to add something to the server files?

Is there an Insurgency for Chenarus? If there is, could someone send me a link please?

Somewhere in ancient ArmA 2 hisory I seem to remember Evo using these very building for repairing vehicles. I remember driving up next to them and getting the vehicle in repair text. Of course this was on base too. So this might provide you a trail. maybe not ....

MERRY CHRIST from AdultGamersElite ....

You JUST know like some MMO's, they'll discover a new island or two hidden in the mists off the coast ........

Everyone is entitled to their own thoughts on this ..... so please ...... have a nice day :cool:

You mean you want to play a campaign where once you die you can't play anymore? You don't plan on playing much do you? :cool:

I agree with your comment. However (with respect to your "real-life concerns) only an experiance of real combat can bring this to the table. Not to go on about War Stories, but it took me a while to play some of these combat simulators in the beginning. Reflections and old memories of my own experiance in combat and loosing one of your people sort of haunts you.

My opinion (and I have not read ALL the posts here) is that BIS should make or contract to have made something in the way of Domination or Evolution ready to install out of the box. ArmA, ArmA2 and hopefully ArmA3 are or should be great SandBox Tools. But unfotunatly, many of us do not have the drive (i.e. lazy like me), or the know how to cnnect it all to make something playable. honestly I have no idea how many play the single player portion (other than me) but I do know that there is a great want by many to play online. This should, in my opinion, be BISs focus. A SandBox and one online mission such as Domination, Evo or Insurgency to jump start the new ArmA3 franchise.

Sorry .... I'm no help here except to say ....... there IS no substitute for a Joystick. Cheap or expensive, get one.

AS stated by others here there is just NOT enough players on average for a good PvP/TvT play. So hence coop. Which is pretty rewarding IF you give it a chance. As far as I know three of the most popular coops (and there are many others) are Domination, Insurgancey & Evolution. Each have their own angle at coop. Speaking for our clan AGE (AdultGamersElite) we would be more than happy to try and help you get your feet on the ground in ArmA 2. You mentioned Project Reality, well there is a group working on an ArmA 2 Project Reality here also. Along with several other complete makeovers. I wouldn't let yourself get to overwhelmed or putout about ArmA 2 play. There are plenty of folks here in the forums to answer your questions. Just remember to expect a little sarcasim and humour when you ask those questions as they've most likely been answered many times in the past. Your SEARCH is your friend. And we're here if you can't find it.
