America's Army Patch Released

by Maarten Goldstein, Jul 12, 2002 12:27pm PDT

As promised, the patch for the Recon version of America's Army Operations game has now been released. You can grab the 3mb upgrade from FileShack as always, courtesy of Speakeasy. For a list of changes go here, that readme will explain how to set up a dedicated server as well. If you don't have the original Recon version, you can grab the updated version from FileShack as well (thanks to Frans @ 3D Gamers for the merge tip). Would rather not download a 213mb file all at once? Then here is the file in five parts, you'll need to run the Army.bat file to merge the files together: Army.0 Army.1 Army.2 Army.3 Army.4 Army.bat

ANOTHER BUG-FIX: If you get the error "This game is version 1.0.1 you are running 1.0.0" (the error is something like that), Edit your ArmyOps.ini file so that the line that reads "CdPath=S:\AGP-Updates\Versions\1.0.0c" is changed to "CdPath=S:\AGP-Updates\Versions\1.0.1rc4".

Servers will be placed in your listing, but will be inactive until approved. All servers must be manually authenticated by a HomeLAN/Army representative before they are accessible by players or available in the public listing. The complete Authorized server list can be found here: http://www.americasarmy.com/ops/serverlist/list.php

and * Community Game Server Support added, allowing authentication of registered public servers. All servers will need to pass authentication before players can join them.

fuck you army? I can play non-authenticated servers now but won't be able to after the patch?

Oh, and ashkie, before you update the server, you might want to be sure you get a server account or else no one will be able to join

Before you can submit a server, you must have a valid SERVER account. Your SERVER account will be different than your user account. Please keep track of both logins and passwords.

(NOTE: You CAN use the same username/password and email address, but you will need to reinput that info into the server signup page and have it verified before you can add/edit your servers)

To create a server account - Signup with a existing or new username, password, and valid email at: http://www.americasarmy.com/ops/serverlist/signup.php

After you activate your account, login with your specified username and password. You may then add servers, or edit/delete existing servers.

If you get an error that the registry key isn't found, it's because you installed it just for yourself in Win2k or WinXP. Just create a new key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE identical to the US Army one in HKEY_CURRENT_USER. then you will be able to install the patch.

According to my interpretation of the README, one can qualify on servers with cheats enabled. Interesting?
(*They state servers that are authenticated will allow players to join, and they state ones that are not authenticated will NOT allow people to join - hence , if you are able to join a CHEAT enabled server, it is authenticated and you can qualify*).
