    Can't connect to the servers....

    Looked around and couldn't find an answer to this, but i can't connect to either server. i have all the mods installed, the tag line: "C:\Program Files\Atari\ArmA\beta\arma.exe" -mod=beta -nosplash -mod=@ACE -mod=@ACE-Islands -mod=@Afghan_Avgani;@VOP_Sound

    i don't know if its just i cant join cuz its not JIP, but i tried when it was breifing (i don't know if breifing is actually starting the game). It loads and flashes the join screen, and then goes back to the server list.
    Much appreciated for any answers.

    Unhappy Re: Can't connect to the servers....

    Hm. I've got this problem too.
    I tried to connected to the server many times, and i did all steps from here => FAQ: Which mods/addons do I need to play in the server? (25.01.2009)
    I thought, maybe need to copy all folders from "Avgani Iraq version 1.5 & Afghan Village version 1.0.rar" into a new folder "\AddOns". Because when i copy all files .pbo and .bisign to the folder "\AddOns" i still can't connect to the server.

    Likely you don't have Schmalfelden installed and loaded on your shortcut.

    Need to make a folder for it and load it in your shortcut.

    Re: Can't connect to the servers....

    Monkey Man, Reach, did adding Schmalfelden help at all?

    Note as well that Server 1 has Schmalfelden whereas #2 does not - so if you where not able to connect to either server adding Schmalfelden is great but it may not resolve your problem.

    Advise here if you are still having problems - we'll try to coordinate a time on TS or else just hop onto TS - either the Admin or Pathfinder channels should have folks that can help you get sorted.

    Re: Can't connect to the servers....

    I have the same issue. I am on a clean install patched up per the same thread mentioned above. I put Schmalfelden in the same folder as the other islands and called it "ACE-Islands". ArmA 1.16.5277, ACE Public Beta 1.08.

    Joining I get a series of messages that seem fine, then just end back at the find server screen. Joining a second time I can see an error message left from the last connection that says I can not join due to missing content deleted.bk12_Nets.

    you might have been trying to join the server with no JIP, so you would connect but then disconnect straight away i do beleive.

    also if you have Schmalfelden in its own separate folder make sure the 2 files are in an addons folder within the @Schmalfelden folder.

    Thanks for the reply Browna. It was Server 1 and the mission was Domination, should have mentioned that. Schmalfelden is loaded with the other islands in an ACE-Islands folder which is in my link: -mod=beta;@ACE-Islands;@ACE -nosplash

    bk12_nets is part of Aceip, so that's what you need to check. It's not installed correctly if it gives you that message.

    Re: Can't connect to the servers....

    I redid the AceIP install and still had the issue, so there must be something missing in the source files linked from the directions thread. A little googling found me the bk_nets source data: Link Here. I put the pbo files (and only the pbo files) in the ACE/Addons folder. Everything is working now.

    I should also note that this was only a Server 1 issue. I could connect to Server 2.

    Re: Can't connect to the servers....

    it hasn't worked, but now its telling me i'm missing files. the ones im missing are: ace_island_uwar_desert, ace_config_vehicle, ACE_Config_Men, ace_config_weapon, and the bk12_nets.

    I'm thinking i need a reintsall of ACE and ACE Islands.

    What was your ACE install process? I was nervous about patching eight times, so found the Ace 1.07 full install and went from there.
