tried to join a dayz server several times today. all eu ones full all the time, and when a slot opens up its filled before i can fcking click it.

Yeah they really need to get more servers. I just spam enter and eventually i can join. But, i only play on servers where there is daytime now

Can I use my ace mods in those servers? or do I need a different mod completely?

No for the Z-servers you can only use the dayZ mod.

A few of us having been talking about getting together to play ArmA 2. One main problem about this is there are hundreds of mods/addons to use and things like that can get complicated when trying to party up. I wrote the quick guide on what addons/mods we need to play with each other. Hope this helps.

Before I get started you need to have the following: ArmA 2 Combined Forces (ArmA 2 merged with ArmA 2: Operation Arrow), BAF expansion, and the PMC expansion. Along with those expansions you need to have all your games updated to the latest patches (do not use beta patches).
For the mods we need, you must install the Six Updater. It’s a handy program that allows you to download mods and keep them up to date.

http://www.six-updater.net/p/download.html

Once you have Six Updater installed and configured, go to the mods tab and install the following mods:
@ACE
@ACEX
@ACEX_RU
@ACEX_SM
@ACEX_USNAVY
@CBA
@CBA_OA
@CBA_A2
@JSRS
@STHUD

After the mods are installed, go to your ArmA 2 folder and make sure the mods are there. After that, create a shortcut to your desktop of the arma2oa.exe program. Now go to the shortcut, right click it, click properties, and paste this into your target . As you can see we are not using @ACEX_SM. That is ACE 2’s sound mod. Instead, we are using @JSRS, which is a much more realistic sound mod.

Just a heads up BAF and PMC addons are in the patches with low res textures they are not a required purchase.

I have just installed Arma 2 on steam and it lists my expansions with BAF light. Is light enough to be able to play?

Also is the ACE stuff fine to install on a steam version of the game?

You can play with lite versions (minus ****ty textures). As for Steam, I don't know. It's best to buy BI games from their site instead of third party providers.

I'm sure I'll work it out.

Just doing a reinstall now as made enough space on my SSD for steam and my games. Figure it'll give a nice performance increase residing there.

[Cstafford]

Yeah ace for steam works
