Weird arma2oa.exe tried to access the firewall memory

[Castout]

Arma2OA.exe is registered for trying to access cfp.exe more than 300 times today. Is this normal in game?

What had me worried that the game requires the player to play it under admin rights.

Yesterday CIS log registered the game trying to access all the running app like messenger and all that was running when I was playing.

Can anybody offer an insight? Can this sometimes be expected?

Much appreciated.

Not familiar with Arma2... but

Is your game vanilla or are you running community/3rd party mods?

I've not heard of a game getting infected and doing stuff like trying to access programs like messenger before, simply from a developer patch or upgrade.

Perhaps nothing bad but just windows logging. Does the game have to access the internet to check stats, cheating mbl etc? Or some in-game chat message thing, or have a smart multiplayer lobby/server launcher, like america's army online or supreme commander?

There seems to be a crash error where the ArmA2OA.exe or dll that it calls is referencing, accessing, memory it does not own...

Hey thanks for the reference. It's exactly as written here the exe trying to access other app memory it doesn't own.

I was told it may have to do with how ArmA 2 anti cheat system is trying to detect cheats
