Sulky arma 2 woes

[sulky_uk]

So after a night of not getting kicked form the server (wasnt playing domination or insurgency so wasnt getting killed on them).
Mr logic pitched up and we decided to try and fix my install, well after an hour of messing (thanks logic), we couldn't get domination sorted. We think we have got insurgency sorted by me downloading the files and sticking them in my mpmisson folder. But domination is still a no go


Some things we have figured out.

I DONT get kicked form any other domination mission after i die....what have we done to our server files?
we didnt think it was at my end as i have by this morning
1) Wiped my steam hard drive .......Twice
2) Re-installed windows.... Twice
3) Changed modems
4) Turned off all anti virus and fire walls

this is the report from my arma rpt file in my local files folder after joing dominationa nd getting killed

Creating debriefing

But as it is only this mission it leads me to believe that something at my end and our servers end doesn't like each other, But why when 4 other servers worked no issue?

Do we use verysig

The server with verifySignature 1 will check both v1 and v2 signatures. With verifySignature 2 the server will reject v1 signatures.

Shooting into the blue as this was back in ArmA 2 only times .. but you´ll never know what ArmA has up it´s sleeve for you
Thanks for the help it seems to have worked. We had most of our members jump on the server public server and reported no problem at all since I added that line.

Once again thanks.

from what i agther some server commands are held in the mission file so that would explain the not getting kicked form any other map

Im at the stage where Arma 2 is going to get unistalled once and for all.........

Right, I've been through the domination map script and can find no reference for signature, signature check, regularcheck or anything that looks remotely relevant. When I edited Dom I can't remember quite what I did, I think I just changed the grouping, am not 100%. I didn't screw with any inegrity things.

Have you recreated your profile as well as all your steam install? I know you've wiped it, but that sounds like an awful lot of downloading in a short period if you have indeed deleted the arma install? Legacy add-ons perhaps?

I'm sure that one of the server wizards can check the config file, but I'm fairly sure it's vanilla. This is a strange one indeed.

[sulky_uk]

no completely deleted everything, did a search and went hunting round windows and steam... then just formated both drives and started from scratch anyhow

[Tutonic]

I've plonked a post in the Arma II admin forum, for those that can access it - please read and reply.

[OldBloke]

Signature checking is now off on 2302 - password still active.

See if that's any better, Sulks.

[sulky_uk]

cheers oldie ill have a looksi tonight

[Benny]

Sulks, what's your in game name, exactly....what characters? Do you use an underscore?

[sulky_uk]

No mate.
-=[dMw]=-sulky .......that's it, have you had an idea

[Liberator]

No mate.
-=[dMw]=-sulky .......that's it, have you had an idea

We're discussing your problems in the Admin section and trying to find something that may point to the problem, as your problems are mainly on the persistent maps we run we though it might be to do with your username having non-standard characters and the maps scripts getting confused.

Bang goes that theory.

[Sparko]

im sure Sulky has a space after the last -

i.e -=dMw=- Sulky

i could be thinking of someone else though......

ok so today i pulled everything out of the comp....h/d's, gfx cards, soundcard, and the dvd drive. put them all back in.
formated both hard drives from outside windows, so there was nothing on either drive
reinstalled vista + drivers
reinstalled steam client only
reinstalled arma oa only
ran it in domination got killed, no kick but cant use vehicles or be seen by enemy attacking camp.
re verified cache all good except the steam install file (one that keeps it up to date)
manually patched up to 1.59 even though my steam version was up to date...same result
firewall was turned off as and no anti virus was installed.
used neighbours tinternet via a long lan cable,same result.
cant get any online help as no-one else has this issue.

i have 2 options now buy a dvd version and see what happens or quit arma 2 oa....tbh looking a lot like the latter as it stands, ive had enough

Looks like you've tried everything Sulky. The only common thing in all these re-installs is that you're pulling the same files from Steam each time.

If you've got any fight left in you then I'd suggest getting the DVD. If it don't work then I'll personally reimburse you.

[Benny]

It's a challenge this one, I'd like to crack it.
Who is your broadband supplier, (and your neighbours)
is it only domination?
is it only the modded version?
is it only zargabad?

Oldie, I've tried the dvd and it didn't work, send me some money.

[sulky_uk]

both bt...only happens on dom and insugency....what do we have enabled on them that isnt n other misions

[Benny]

both vanilla dom and modded dom?

either way, there's nothing in them, grab the files, download pbo reader to extract then look in notepad, i can't find anything
