The new server settings have sure made the Dom server a lot more fun to play.. thanks to all involved in that... Was on til about 2am local time, crankin on the missions and it was smooth as silk most of the night. There is anoither side mission that gets screwed up and we got stuck on that one, hopefully the bug fix will smooth those over.

Most of the auto stuff I watch is on here: http://www.speedtv.com/ One of the cable channels I get...

LOL... never heard of it...

Had tp spend some Google/Wikipedia time figuring out who this chap is and why his rap would be funny. But I get it now...nice...

(unless the server was running my file, thinking it was another popular file.) However, as Zeno says, no need to delve into it further. Thanks again for your participation/feedback. Always appreciated.

Umm.. actually I am completely correct. Let's saqy I take a hacker script... create a brand new PBO, create a keyfile with my own keymaker, call it the same name as any existing popular file. Keyfile makers are plentiful and easy to get, hacking scripts are easy to get, presto-blammo... all done. Not talking about modifying an existing file.

Wow thats like every Sparta file ever made...hahaha... nice collection Cobol, thanks...

Personally Id like to see us disallow all addons, as anyone could fake an existing addon just by calling it the same and giving it their own keyfile. I am sure the admin folks will decide on some and let everyone know if/when they figure it out.

Jeff, Thanks for posting. The information is much more relevant here in forum than endlessly talking about hackers on our server. Thanks.

Ready to rock...

I was getting complete lockup as well...so I reset my Video settings to Default, saved the change, tweaked my settings back to what I like, saved the change and now I am running quite well.

In a group of women, how do you know which one is the 'tough chick'? She is the one who rolls her own tampons and kickstarts her vibrator.

Long thought to be incapable of surviving outside of their toy-like habitats, this tribe of wild Sea Monkeys seems to have found a way to exist and thrive outside of their original plastic enclosures.

HEY CHIMO... good luck with the computer... hope to see ya on server soon!

My game has gone straight to hell with 1.03. 8 or 9 crashes in 20 minutes. Not too pleased so far.

Ive been trying out various different roles when my preferred role isnt available, such as Team Leader and so on. Wasnt sure if I had mis-clicked the drop location, or what, but I will try it again now that I know the delay is normal and not a problem.

Ive tried calling an Artillery Piece to be dropped, on several occasions, and nothing has ever appeared. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Ive seen a few successful drops before (one inadvertent drop right into the middle of the enemy when we thought we were calling in an arti STRIKE...hahahah)... so I know it does actually work...

Wow nice arti...cle.... You guys are just a wealth of info...

Hurt Locker debuted in NewYork and LA. It has picked up a US distributor since release and is making its way to a wider market.

Looks like the Dedicated Server went with the patch release so we dont have to wait! Yippee!... Headline from release thread at BIS forums: "ARMA II Patch 1.03 & Dedicated Server Released . " So, lets get ready to rummmmmmmmmmble......

There are 3 ways to run an ArmA2 server: 1. Click the New button in-game. You can create your own LAN or Internet server. This does not run with FireDaemon and wont reboot by itself, and so on, when there are issues. Must be tended by a human.... 2. Launch a dedicated server program. This is what we do right now as far as I know. Most ded. server packages do not run the game, they call up the basic game files required to allow the players to connect and interact without having to load the full game or have a video card installed on the server box. FireDaemon can monitor this and reboot as required. 3. Start the game using the -server switch. You can modify your ArmA2 icon target line to launch a server: C:\Program Files\Bohemia\ArmA2\arma2.exe -nosplash;-mod=@mod_here;-server This starts the full game and functions as a full-fledged server. Pretty sure this mode can be managed by FireDaemon. However, since this is running the full game it may require a video card be installed on the server since the game is basically runnning the same way it would on your PC at home. This mode, in general, uses up a lot more server resources and may not allow as many players to connect reliably. So.. we can wait for the upgraded Dedicated Server package.. or, we can update the server box with the 1.03 patch and run it using a -server switch until the 1.03 dedicated server is released, but this may in fact not be possible if our gaming server is a standard server box without a video card installed on it. Disclaimer: Me not expert. Me know from old days. Fire Good.

No problem X... just wondered if I should prepare for playign tonight or wait til tomorrow, or whatever... Here is the best part of the notes for me: Fixed: Prevent killed AI units reporting who killed them. Some interesting ramifications there.

Any ETA on when the servers will be patched up to the new version?

The Tactical server tends to be infantry based (our Tac squad is, essentially, a Special Ops squad) with not a lot of flight options. However that is not 100% always the case as Ive experienced some really interesting chopper insertions and exfils. But mostly it is on foot, taking out objectives. Anyone with the interest can play on the Tac server, will keep an eye out for you next time we do a run...

Andrew.. it was great to have you and the lad playing with us. Seems like a really nice, well-mannered young lad... Hope to see you out in war-land soon!
