you can play this game even when authorization is down.
but you will get no honors for playing it and all players will have 15 honors. do not care about, this is only for the moment. you will have your honors back when auth will get up again
first look for all servers flaged with something like no auth needed, or Login or.. in its server names.
then go and find the Folder where your aa25assist is installed:
QUESTION: Where the hell can i find the ArmyOps.exe?
ANSWER MAC-OSX: /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/25Assist/
ANSWER LINUX: /home/USERNAME/25Assist/
ANSWER WINDOWS XP: C:\Documents and settings\USERNAME\Application Data\25Assist\
ANSWER WINDOWS VISTA/7: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\25Assist\
it is a hidden folder, so go to your windows explorer and change the settings so that you can see hidden folder also.
then go to the 25Assist \System folder and start (double klick) the ArmyOps.exe
if done, you will see the main menu of America's Army 2. here you have to open the console - but you have not any Botton or so. just press ~ or ! or the key located to open the console.
you will see the console prompt like >
now start the game with the address of the related server, like:
> open 178.196.49.30:2716
you can join for sure =>
i will put the available addresses in here around 17.00 CEST (still at work now)178.196.49.30:2716 - SF Hospital
178.196.49.30:3716 - Bridge Crossing
178.196.49.30:4716 - Urban Assault (map voting - open cosole in game and type mutate mapvote mapyoulike)
i hope that auth system will go up soon again. until then and for the ones which can not stay without aa2, maybe this is a way to do still the game.
