PMC Tactical (ArmA 2 OA) Dedicated Server

edit 10-05-16: PMC Tactical ArmA 2 dedicated server is down, sorry.

PMC Tactical ArmA 2 dedicated server ADDONS.

SERVER 1 - IP: 178.75.183.88 Port: 2302

The addons you need for joining into PMC Tactical (VTE ArmA 2 v1.62 Combined Operations) linux dedicated server to play VTE are included below.

VTE v1.5.27 and CBA v1.0.0

Full server name string is: VIETNAM: The Experience (VTE) on PMC Tactical http://www.pmctactical.org/


SERVER 2 - IP: 178.75.183.88 Port: 3302

We also run second server called "PMC Tactical http://www.pmctactical.org/", it does not conflict with the above VTE server at all, no VTE server changes has been made it still runs normally the latest version. Our second server hosts our other terrain addons, here are the details:

PMC Tactical server addons has been updated 05-23-13

We now also host PMC Rattler (25km desert terrain), PMC Rugen (25km european terrain) and PMC Somalia (whole Somalia conflict mod) on top of the existing PMC 51km Desert (51km desert terrain).

This means that yes indeed the amount of required addons has increased greatly which will put off some people...

For anyone still wanting to join our server to play great PMC COOP missions, its not that difficult. The four different set of addons do not conflict with each other and none of our missions are using stuff from more than one addon at the time. We even have pure no addons required chernarus/takistani PMC missions there which require indeed no addons to join the server.

The catch is though, that lets say you join the server to play chernarus/takistani missions which require no addons, you play along... then someone else in the server changes a mission to any of the addon missions... then you would be dropped off the server with an error that you cannot edit/play this mission because content is missing.

Simplest solution is to install all addons of course, any PMC fan should already have done so anyways. If you use Play withSix launcher it will automatically install all addons for you, no work is necessary from your part.

Here are some Play withSix links for you to ease the search even more:
http://play.withsix.com/arma-2/mods/pmc-rugen
http://play.withsix.com/arma-2/mods/pmc-rattler
http://play.withsix.com/arma-2/mods/pmc-somalia
http://play.withsix.com/arma-2/mods/pmc-51km-desert
or simply use the new Collections feature and download everything with this:
http://play.withsix.com/arma-2/collecti ... cal-server

You can manually download all of those from PMC Tactical ArmA 2 Downloads page.

Hope to see you on the server...

Stutter and freezes when trying to join [any] servers with v1.62 now that gamespy is shut down

ArmA 2 CO v1.62 suffers quite severe freezes and almost lockup kind of situations when you enter multiplayer screen because it tries to access gamespy which is now down. You can skip this by adding -connect=IP:PORT parameter to your command line. For example

Connect to VTE server:
-connect=178.75.183.88:2302

Connect to PMC Addons server:
-connect=178.75.183.88:3302

Just place that parameter on your normal ArmA 2 CO startup command line somewhere. Notice the port numbers between our servers, 2302 (default) is VTE server and 3302 is our PMC addons server. When you use this parameter, ArmA 2 will not freeze or stutter or think about anything, it just immediately connects to server in that IP:PORT number.

If you want to play single player, you need to make new startup parameter line shortcut/batch file etc for this, because if you use -connect, then your game will always connects to the server first and you cannot go single player / mission editor.
