@Statik, My PC spec's - i7-3770k OC 4.5GHz - EVGA GTX680 2gb - 16gb Ripjaws RAM - 750 PS - ASRock Z77 Extreme4 MOBO I've only been playing on one server at the moment but I'm looking to try some other maps. When I validated the integrity it was shortly after the crash and I read some forums and that was something recommend. After uninstalling and reinstalling the game I'm able to jump in a play for a day or two then out of nowhere I just get the same message, "ARMA2 OA Has Stopped Working". I've even reached out to Steam's Support and this is the email they sent me, Hello, as I can see, you are installing BetaPatch. Before I give you the resolution, I have to warn you that as is stated in BetaPatch readme file (that comes with the original installation pack of betapatch), this patch is for experimental use and community testing only and using BetaPatch is at your own risk. This version is not an official release, cannot be fully supported and we may not be able to solve a problem related to using / installing this version, also it may be highly unstable. To resolve your problem: At first, delete everything you downloaded in relation to the game. That means to delete all additional content, software, utilities, addons, mods, mod launchers. Search your downloads for the installators for this software and content and delete them too and if there is any game related folder in your documents, delete that folder as well. After that please start a clean reinstall of Arma 2 CO: 1. Uninstall OA (right-click on the game in Steam Library and select 'delete local content'), do the same for Arma 2. 2. Delete "<steam>/steamapps/common/arma 2" and "<steam>/steamapps/common/arma 2 operation arrowhead" folders and Arma 2's shortcuts on your desktop (if any). Search zour computer for all folders containing ARMA 2 in their names and delete them. Then reboot your computer. 3. Open Start menu and type this directly into the menu (in Windows XP, you will have to click on "Run" first): regedit 4. Press Enter. 5. In the regedit window, click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. 6. Press CTRL+F to bring up search. 7. Look for "Bohemia Interactive" (without the quotes). 8. Delete all entries with "Bohemia Interactive" in their names 9. Exit the regedit, reboot PC. 10. Run Steam as Administrator (right-click on the Steam icon and click on "Run As Administrator"). 11. Install Arma 2. 12. Run Arma 2 once. 13. Install Operation Arrowhead. 14. Run Operation Arrowhead through OA's launch menu (not Combined Ops, but Operation Arrowhead). You shouldn't have any problems and should have both OA and Arma 2 content available, at this point you have the highest official supported version of the game, if you insist on BetaPatch experimental installation, please proceed here: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php Do not run any other application while updating the game, especially do not run Steam or any launcher. Thank you, Best Regards, Jiri Velek Bohemia Interactive ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've followed every step giving and I've done what I can without having to wipe my computer. If my understanding of wiping my computer is right I'd rather not have to do that. I don't see how or why doing that would be closely relevant to fixing the issue with the game. Then again if its something that is strongly suggested by the ARMA2/DayZ community then I'll have to take it into consideration. Thanks everyone for trying to help. Sincerely, MrJughead

Hello. I know there has been many forums created on this issues and Id like to think that I've read all of them as of know but I could be wrong. In the past 5 days I've had Arma2 crash on me and say, "Arma2 OA has stopped working". Since then I've Google the issue and watched YouTube videos on how to fix the problem and I've read a had full of forums. From everything I read I have this is what I've done to try and fix the problem. I've uninstall and reinstall Arma2, Arma2 OA, and Arma2 OAB to get Arma2 to work so I can playing DayZ Epoch. I have done everything suggested from verifying the cache in all three Arma2 games, uninstalling and reinstalling, removing the Arma2 & Arma2 OA folders from my local files and placed them on my desktop. I sincerely have no idea where to go from here and why this issues keeps coming up. One minute I'm able to play for 8hrs with no problems and the next minute I cant even get into a game. Everything is up to date. Drivers are good and Epoch is updated so I don't know where the problem lies. If anyone can help that would be the greatest thing. Thank you. Sincerely, MrJughead P.S, When I finish with verifying my cache for Arma2 OA (not the beta) it says, "1 files failed to validate and will be reacquired".

SmashT, This video best describes my issue. If you would take the time to watch it that would be great. Thanks

Hello everyone. I'm currently having a problem with my BEService.exe file not opening under "Run by Administration" or any other way. When I go to open the file I get a black box that flashes real quick and goes away. I don't understand the problem and Id appreciate some help if possible. I need to make changes with my Battleye before I can start live streaming "Breaking Point". If anyone can help me that would be awesome. For some reason Xspilt will not recognize "Breaking Point" as a game unless some changes are made in your "BEService.exe file according to everyone Ive asked. Feel free to reply back to this or contact me directly at http://www.twitter.com/MrJughead87 Thank again for your time.
