Guess what...

You cant play multiplayer on one key with your brother...

And it is not a bug. It protects from piracy (kind of).

Yes but other players cant even with more than one CD key

 

 

False.

 

Buy another copy of combined ops.

Could be a connection issue but its more than likely the fact your trying to run two accounts simultaniously with one CD key, so buy a new ARMA 2 copy with Ops and thatll probably fix it.

It doesn't matter if you're on Steam or not.

The CD key generates a GUID, which is used to identify you as the player.

 

When your brother joins a server, the GUID for the CD key is bound to that server. (So it cannot be used by other people.)

When you join your brother on the same server, that same GUID tries to bind itself to the same server for another time.

 

That's where the problem is. The GUID can't be active in two places at once. (Or in one place twice.)

Fun fact: everyone is using the same internet.

 

And as above - you aren't being kicked for no reason, or because of a bug... You're being kicked because you're both trying to use the same key... You need to buy another copy of ArmA 2.
