Recl

have you ran arma 2 and arma 2 OA to menu? I run Arma to the menu but Operation arrowhead will not make it that far "What he meant to say was "Run Steam as Administrator". You know, like it says in the sticky...." and I run it as admin, why do you chose to be so condescending and unhelpful? Why even post at all?

I read it and watched the video and: "1 files failed to validate and will be reaquired." No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgInGameUI/MPTable.shadow'. Error compiling pixel shader PSSpecularAlpha:0 anyone know what any of these mean? If I have to reinstall for a 3rd time I'm going to question the integrity of the download...

This hardly seems worth it... How is there so many screw-ups through steam? and why would I spend more money to buy the alpha if I can't play the games I already purchased?

*Which version of the game did you purchase? STEAM or RETAIL or MIXED: steam *Are you running an Arma 2 OA beta patch? If so what version?: not sure, fresh install *Which method are you using to launch the game? I.E Sixupdater/steam/batch file: steam and Dayz commander *What is the Error/Problem you're having? Please provide screenshots if possible: wrong CD key wrong serial number *Your PC specs: i7 930, 5770 Radion, 256 SSD *Your Operating System: windows 7 *Have you looked at these threads?: yes, yes yes, I just reinstalled Arma 2 and i'm not able to update because it says I have the wrong key. does this mean I have to buy it again? also wrong serial number when I use DayZ commander... for clarification I get to: Right Click ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Cache | Let it run Right Click ARMA 2 Operation > Set Luanch Options | Remove any text that is located in there, then close it. and these don't make sense. Also do I have to use the beta?
