The new and enhanced Account Management Website (AMW) has launched!

Now, you have access to new features such as:

1. Support for management of multiple America's Army game accounts. Log in to the AMW with one game account, and you can easily change between all game accounts associated with the same email address.
2. User selectable avatars. The user can choose from one of 10 predefined avatars to associate with their account. This avatar will be displayed on the player's personnel jacket page, as well as any messages the user sends to other players.
3. Enhanced training and tour detail. The enhanced training and tour detail includes completion dates of all training and tours, as well as detailed player statistics such as total kills and weapon accuracy.
4. Personnel Jacket. View a custom personnel jacket that highlights any awards received for player accomplishments in completing training and tours.
5. Player search. Using the player search tool, players can search for their friends or other America's Army players; allowing the user to review the personnel jacket of the player(s) they search for, as well as easy links for adding that player as a battle buddy or sending a private message.
6. New messaging system. The AMW includes a complete messaging system allowing players to send private messages to any other player with a registered America's Army account.
7. Favorite Servers / Battle Buddies. Players can access their favorite servers and battle buddies that they have saved from the in-game favorites/buddies systems used in the AA Master Browser. The AMW also includes an independent buddy list that players can manage from outside the game.
8. New team management system. The team management system allows players with sufficient Honor levels to create a team of players. Upon creating the team, the team captain can then invite additional players to join the team, as well as assign team members to several ranks within the team. The team system works with the new messaging system allowing team members to send broadcast messages to the entire team. The team profile includes fields to allow a team to define a team website, team game servers, voice servers, and IRC information.

The AMW site is the place to create and/or manage everything. Login to AMW on AA.com, click YOUR ACCOUNT and start taking advantage of the new features. You'll never look at AA the same way again.

If you install the game server preserving your INI file settings, you will be missing a needed entry to access the new AA Browser Master Server. Please be sure the following lines exist in your server INI file:

[Engine.GameEngine]
ServerActors=Andromeda.AndromedaMBS

This will insure proper AA Browser updates of servers and players.

Once these settings have been added, restart your game server.

If you still exhibit problems, be sure that TCP port 20047 is open in your firewall so that the game server can communicate with the AA Browser Master Server.

When you create a server setup and want to allow other users to join your server, you need make sure the following ports are open for outgoing and incoming traffic in your firewall:

1716 (UDP), 1717 (UDP) and 20025 through 20047 (TCP)

This is most likely caused by your firewall software. Current releases of Windows include Firewall software that protect against potential unwanted access over the internet. By default, the Firewall software installed on your computer must know about applications that require internet access.

The firewall software has paused the game process and is requesting your confirmation to unblock the program and allow access to the internet; however, the popup window may not be displayed over the full screen game display.

To correct this, you will need to manually add the newly patched game executable (ArmyOps.exe) to the unblocked application list for your firewall.

Alternately, you can quickly switch the game from full screen to windowed mode by pressing Alt+Enter immediately upon startup (before the firewall software pauses it), and interact with the firewall popup normally to unblock the game executable.

This problem has been identified on Microsoft Windows standard Firewall, McAfee Personal Firewall 7 and ZoneAlarm firewalls.

To unblock America´s Army on your Microsoft Windows standard Firewall (included with Windows XP Service Pack 2), open the Windows Control Panel by clicking the Start Button then selecting Control Panel, and then click the Security Center icon. Once inside the Security Center, choose to manage settings for Windows Firewall (this is near the bottom of the window). Click the Exceptions tab, then click the Add Program… button. Finally, locate your America´s Army game executable (by default it is located at C:\Program Files\America´s Army\System\ArmyOps.exe).
