Only 1 server

Installed Arma 2 + Operation Arrowhead + OA Beta on steam,
installed latest project reality download,
installed latest praa.exe
Edit the game shortcut to add -beta to the end,
when I launch the game the filters are Host - [@PR 0.15]

If I remove [@PR 0.15] from the filter one other test server comes up, requiring version 1.62.98866

That is correct. The playerbase is quite small at this time - It should pick up (at least marginally, hopefully a lot) when the next version is released, which may be a while.

Oh wow, cause the last time I played there was a decent playerbase.
What happened?

A little E-drama, a little bit of hackers/griefers, long time between versions on an already new/unpolished mod. It all adds up to people slowly but surely leaving. It's hard to attribute blame, except directly to hackers I guess.

There's also a fair amount of animosity from the original A2 community due to PR's approach to ARMA2 development, so not much help from there... and due to the long release schedule the team weren't really able to yet capitalize on the playerbase explosion from DayZ.

I haven't ever played PR:A2, but that's just what I've seen from reading the forum posts.
