//note: I've searched this forum (and many other) thoroughly, and while there are threads about this issue, they're outdated and only deal with the steam version (still unsuccessfully). Hello guys! So, after a week, so far I managed to solve every single problem I had with starting the game (followed many guides, tried things on my own with over 30 full clean reinstalls until now. I've received every single message others encountered and posted about on the net, managed to fix all of them. This recent one however is something I cannot figure out and couldn't find a normally written solution to the problem (apart from the mighty "reinstall and hope for the best" suggestions of course), since found sites are all outdated and talking about either the steam version of the game or the old one where arma and armaoa were at different folders and were handled separately. I bought the game at GoG btw, so I'm using that. So, here's where I'm at (temporarily disabled uac, everything started as admin): - Installed GoG Arma2 - fixed paths in regedit - added multiplayer key - updated game to latest beta build 96493 - installed dayz (manually, since Dayz Commander screws my updates up every single time, along with playsix) - added startup parameters to shortcuts (exp\beta, @dayz) Result:, - arma and armaOA both start perfectly, with the dayz logo, can recognize the placed addon I'm not using the .exe-s directly, either start game from shortcut or from dayz for multiplayer. however, starting multiplayer from either commander or playsix, I got the following lines: During preloading the game, before ticking of the last two squares, warning pops: addon 'dayz_anim' requires addon 'CA_Anims_E' Pressed ok, entered game, before lobby, gives another warning with different files, mainly: 'bin\config.bin/RscInGameUI/RscHint/Background.type' however, this is an old thread (arma and armaoa in different directories, etcetc) without any proper solution. I have no idea what shall I do know, anyone familiar with this issue could help me out? Thanks for reading and commenting! P.S.: My last two reinstalls resulted in this issue, so a simple reinstall wouldn't help. P.S.2: The very first time I installed things I managed to get it all working, however for some reason armaoa couldn't be patched at all, even in dayz commander, after it said that patch was completed successfully, its version number remained the same (refreshed ofc) with any changes made to the game. On top of all that, since I was unable to patch the game to higher version, every time I joined a server (same or other from what I've previously been one) my character restarted with completely new stuff and attributes on different locations (basically my characters were not saved). Since then I've encountered the steam-only (?) 'mptable.shadow' issue, the 'pixel alpha' issue, the 'cd key in use' issue, basically almost anything wiki mentions on different reinstalls...

Hey there! Shortcut parameter didn't work (tried to rewrite the routes tho i don't know whether that was successful), while the error warnings disappeared, the game menu just became a blue mass without any text and possibly an error warning since it had a little window in the front. Copying the addons didn't work either:( I'm not using steam or steamed version, so unfortunately any suggestions regarding that cannot be used:( I'd like to try again the parameter version you gave me tho, could you perhaps write it for me correctly, if I gave you how my tree's building up? Perhaps I made a mistake somewhere. (previously I used: "-mod=EXPANSION;ca -mod=@dayz", as this was suggested by almost every guide) So, for me: Arma is at: c.\Program Files (x86)\GoG.com\Arma 2 Arma OA is at: c:\Program Files (x86)GoG.com\Arma 2 (same place basic arma2 is at, tho for beta patched version, it was written that we should use c:\...Arma 2\Expansion\beta Dayz is at c:\..Arma 2\@Dayz Basically everything is under c:\Program Files (x86)\GoG.com\Arma 2 Thank you for your help and whoever stops by with a tip!
