Hey! So First off I'm using a macbook pro. I managed to partition my HD and install Windows 7 and then went on to get Arma 2: CO + OA and the dayz mod. Things seemed to be working. I managed to start a single player game... All was well. I went into the multiplayer part to pick a server. All the servers (Both dayz and arma) had a big red X on them saying I couldn't access them as I needed a patch from the Arma website.I downloaded the patch and my version got updated from 1.60 to 1.62. After I downloaded/extracted the 1.62 patch I went back on to Arma. This time the server lists had no red X, but when I chose a dayz server (any server) to join, as soon as I got in the room a message came up saying "bad cd key" and I would have to leave or get kicked. Just wondering if this is a common issue/how I would go about fixing it. I'm pretty sure the Arma CO and OA are torrented and not bought... but I'm not sure as I took the files from a buddys usb drive. Any help would be great! Thanks EDIT: Also, I apologize if this issue has been brought up in a different thread/if I posted this in the wrong spot!
