For those who cannot connect to Servers after steam update

Recommended Posts

Do this AFTER the steam program has fully updated ARMA II: ARROWHEAD

Those of you having this "cannot connect to server issue"

Please do the following:

In your steam program,

Right Click ARMA 2>Properties>Local Files> VERIFY LOCAL GAME CACHE

Then go to ARAM 2: Operation Arrowhead and proceed to do the same thing "Verify Local Game Cache"

Do ARMA2: ARROWHEAD atleast twice to make sure it collect the files again.

This "should" work.

Doing this on Arma II (non-OA) shouldn't have an effect..

It does. as soon as It downloaded I had connection issues, did Operation OA and still nothing. Only after is verified Arma II was I able to connect again. Poster hit the nail on the head, good work!

That's why it works for all the above posters. Good work. You really hit the nail on the head. And split it open, and now it bled to death.

Nice to see you helping out and offering solutions Detta. Should just troll the OP instead, cause that'll definitely get these guys in game.

My six launcher needs an epi pen. Dissconect issues, ping kicks, timeouts, serving desyncing and dropping off like flies. Steam is a joke for Dayz atm and Commander is dropping in and out. No dayz tonight.

I'm glad it worked guys.

Most users were playing the game while it tried to update, and in end result the game could update certain files because you were playing.

So by letting the game finish updating and then verifying BOTH game cache's it can replace the correct files.

Again glad it helped guys

Run Steam as Administrator when you verify and when you run Arma 2 and OA independently once a piece.
