Please provide the following when creating the Ticket:

Game Version number: 1.040.029
Modded?: (Yes/No) Yes
If modded, please list the mods: there’s too many to list. For W.C.S servers

Issue Description: I bought the game 2 days ago, never played arma before. I did research but no one was complaining about the issues I’ve been experiencing so I’m confused on how to troubleshoot. My mods won’t download on the servers when trying to join. Says downloading required mods but nothing happens. I left it for 2 hours one day and no progress was made. I’ve had issues where the mods do download, work for one play through then the next day when trying to join the server again the mods are all corrupted and I can’t update or reinstall them. So I end up having to delete the whole game and reinstall them that way. Which takes hours out of my day. But now not even that is working. I only have access to vanilla which is boring as hell to be honest. Yesterday when I was finally able to play on a modded server, the game crashed… now I’m back to square one of having to delete the game, reinstall the mods, hope it worked and play for another couple of hours before repeating the process..

2 times today I’ve had to download these mods and it’s always the same one. I’ve uninstalled these game a few times and deleted all the mods off my system, from this game and ark ascended. Re downloaded these mods for arma and I’m still getting the same issues.

The way this has been working for me is, I can play the game for a few hours before the game freezes up and I have to restart the game. Then this 14mb “status quo” download update shows up in my mod manager. So I download it. Then upon trying to join the server it will show me that I have to download a second status quo mod that is 6.7gb.

It will sit on this screen for a whole day (I’ve tried it) no progress will be made. The only way for me to be able to get back on the game now is to reinstall the mod, which takes hours, so I can play the game for a couple hours. And then start the process all over again.

A guy I’ve been playing with on the NA3 WCS server let me know that if you try and join another server, you have to uninstall all the mods and download all the necessary mods for that new one on a clean slate. And he doesn’t have to keep reinstalling the mods like this. So I tried it and this is still happening.

Hello, it seems you are updating the addon to newest version 0.12 and then again downgrading it to 0.11 because server is running on that version.
The solution would be to not update the addon.

That hasn’t helped. I’m still experiencing problems with the mods. I’ve tried not updating the mods but the game won’t allow that. It updates the mods and then when trying to join it says I need to redownload the same ones I just updated. (Status quo and M1 Abrams) every-time. So It redownloads them automatically. And then starts spitting me back into the server list on main screen on a continuous loop saying “replication error”. Since I’ve bought this game, I’ve spent more time waiting to play than actually playing. The downloads last one day and then they stop working. 3-4 hours later for the downloads I can finally play it for an hour before bed and having to start the process all over again the next day.
