Right.

Yes! Progress! Got the save and exit working. When I finally got the server working a notification popped up saying my profile was loaded. But all of a sudden it doesn't. Can't seem to load save either.

I now realized I pulled the wrong RPT. My bad. BUT. I have fixed it. Recently I had all my mods downloaded from amraholic but decided to switch to the steam workshop. The CBA version I had on TADST was from armaholic, but on my arma launcher I had the steam version. Apparently that was the issue. Now I can actually get into the game relatively quick with about a 2 minute loading screen. Only issue now is constant lag and the Save and Exit (admin only) doesn't work.

Checked the I.P, it is correct.

I checked out the guide you posted. That's exactly how I set up my server. Downloaded a port checker too. All my ports are open.

Also, I followed the guide in the war room too. And I followed the steps to validate the set up. Downloaded baretailpro. It says after you launch the server to open the RPT file with baretailpro and look for "CONNECTED TO DATABASE OK" Well I can't find that...I don't know if that helps. But yeah.

Thanks for your continuous help and solutions, by the way.

I am using only CBA and ALiVE. In my missions it's NATO against Syndikat

Removed player options module. Infinite loading screen with sound.

Removed Data moudle and @aliveserver. This time got an infinite loading screen with no sound at all

Thanks for the reply. I put down a infantry solider and a tank. Worked like a charm. Drove around for a bit. Shot some things. Ran perfectly

Hello everyone. First off I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I have probably waaay to many hours in ArmA but this is my first time trying to set up a dedicated server. I followed VEX's Quick and Easy Insurgency Tutorial on youtube for actually placing donw modules themselves then added the CQB and IED modules. The only thing I did different was instead of placing OPFOR, BLUFOR and Independent, I just placed Independent and Blufor. Tested it out on LAN by myself and it ran smoothly. Very few FPS drops, that didn't even hinder gameplay at all.

After reading the forums that it was recommended to set up a dedicated server for better performance, persistence and to have more players I downloaded TADST and followed this

youtube tutorial for setting up my server. Everything looked good. When I launch the server, server log says game started. When I join I get to choose my slot but get stuck on a loading screen with all the nature sounds. Longest I waited was 2 hours. AO isn't that big..maybe it is. 4500 M's. Gives us a fairly large size to play around in yet not even close to the whole map. From Pyrgos to Athira and down to Neochori I believe.

All help is appreciated :)
