So my buddy gave me Arma 2 CO retail so that I could finally play DayZ. I followed the installation guide on this forum and installed the beta patch. So what I run is the shortcut of the OA beta like the OP of that thread said. Though whenever I try to join a game, a player list comes up and then I'm immediately kicked off of the server. No real message besides saying I was kicked. I was able to get on this one russian server that had like 2 people on it but it was so dark that it wasn't worth playing. Some people said that was an issue with BattleEye or whatever it is called so I downloaded the updated .dll file and replaced the old one still with no fix. Now I was also told that it was due to me launching as OA and not CO but I just don't see anyway to launch the game as CO especially when the installation guide has me running the OA beta. All I want to do is get some gaming hours in this weekend and between this and that free copy of BC2 not working, it looks like another weekend to waste :(
