Multiplayer is Alive! [Openspy Tutorial]

[Alias]

So, basically I used to play the absolute ♥♥♥♥ out of Arma 2: Free and me and some veteran chad tried to get it to work under a gamespy replacement called openspy with no luck.

Feeling dejected, I thought "f-ck it what about the game before Arma 2/Arma 2: Free?"
Basically here is what you do.

1.) Download a hex editior called hxd
2.) Install the hxd hex editior.
3.) Open the hxd hex editor.
4.) Drag and drop the Arma executable into the hxd window.
5.) Press Ctrl+R
6.) Search for gamespy.com and replace all with openspy.net
7.) Click the save icon and repeat steps 1-6 with the arma server executable.

You should be able to run the game with working multiplayer.
Enjoy.

Nobody cares, I made a tutorial that is for Armed Assault and for ArmA2, nobody bothers to do it, I even leave them an already modified executable, and they still don't pay attention.

In fact, MP has never been dead, it has always worked, you just don't see the matchmaking, but if you connect to the servers you know the IP

Openspy is just so that when you create a server, it is seen in the matchmaking, nothing more, if the person who creates the servers does not use it you will never see it, but in reality it is not necessary, because the MP works.
