Hello, person reading this post, currently i have spent over 8 hours of my life trying to fix OA. i have tried literally everything on the internet to fix this problem. Whats happening is when i launch arma 2 OA it tells me i have a bad serial key. If i try to reinstall battleye it tells me i have corrupt game files. I have, like i said done everything. reinstalled both games, verified both games, defraged both games, gone into parts of my computer I've never seen before just to fix this, but no luck. i cant launch the game at all doing anything, launching as admin, all of that... if you have a super secret fix thats not listed everywhere then PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me :( i have beans to offer you ;) P.S i have gone into regedit and tried that stuff, but i already have the 4 needed files. im thinking someone stole my serial key, or something along those lines... how? idk why? idk when? some time today, beacuse i was playing a game of dayz today, took a break, tried to log back in and BLAM in the face bad serial key... Ive already sent a message to bohemian and waiting for a response... hoping for some luck here. EDIT: when i go into dayz commander and try to reinstall or update arma2 it says "Wrong CD KEY."

Thanks for all of the reply's guys. What worked for me was changing my key using regedit, then launching arma 2 OA so its set back to its original key. solved all the problems for me, and now i have a new key thanks to bohemia, so no more problems!

this dident work for me :|

I've played both games for a looong time, almost since they came out... dont have to worry about launching them for a first time, and i have no downloads today. plus i cant even launch arma OA without getting "bad serial number given during setup" or w/e and like i said, I've tried everything thats posted all over the internet like verifying, first time launch, etc etc

Hi, so today (sept 6) i was joining your average server, good amount of players, aborted outside stary to get something to eat. when i go back in, i see the death tab with players names... didn't think much of it. when i finally get in, im in the debug plains, with absolutely NOTHING except for my camo clothes. why does this happen and how can i prevent it? eventually i aborted and rejoined the server, and was at the coast with nothing but my camo clothes

Where do i put C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c start "high" /high "D:\ArmA 2\arma2OA.exe" -mod=F:\@dayz -nosplash -world=empty -maxmem=4096 -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7 ? edit: im using dayz commander edit2: im using steam

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 overclocked 3.06 GHz 4.00gb ram sys 32 win 7 pro i get this problem almost everywhere

You have to find 100/200 clip ammo for the gun. military loot

So me and my friend head on to a server, when we get in, hes still around where we left off, and I'm at the coast NOT where i left off. I still had all my gear, ghille suit, guns n all of that stuff. so i rejoin on a few different servers to see if i will be teleported back, no luck at all. finally i decide, im just going to run to my friend. We meet up, but its pitch black and neither of us have NVG's so we abort and find a daytime server. When we get on, I'm back at the coast. i tried a few more times, each time im just put back at the coast at different areas each time. Basically the game is unplayable for me since i cant abort and go to sleep, or go do something without having to spend another hour running back to my friend. A hot fix or something would be greatly appreciated. DayZ version: 1.7.2.4 (a update was released today, don't know what version of update it was) August 10

I've given up.. call me w/e you want, but until this is fixed, i simply cant and wont play.

bump still getting the problem

bump still happening Q.Q

It may not be your computer, could be your hard drive. Yeah it sounds insane, but dayz is EXTREAMLY demanding on your hard drive. the more zombies on a server, the more your hard drive will be pushed. A fix, unless this isn't the problem, would be to use RAMDisk. Its basicly a fake hard drive that works at around 9999 MB/s

bump really want some help here :(

bump august 11, its still happening

Its nothing to do with what you would think. What you need to do, and what i did was either upgrade your harddrive for more speed, or download and put @dayz and expansions into RAMdisk. you can find tuts on youtube by oshi7 on how to download it and use it.

Heres a bit more info: i have the arma 2 C.O steam version, i recently got 2 bugs: no bin profile path something something and pixel shader errors... currently fixing those, and i hope i wont be teleported around anymore once i do

So, just yesterday i bought arma 2 combined ops, played both of the games for a little while, then heard of dayz. so i get the sixinstaller and try to get in, installed sixlauncher, did everything as the guide says to. but when in the launcher when i go to play a game, it just sits on "wait for host"... it will say that hour hours on end if i let it so to try fixing it i pressed "launch" in the sixlauncher, and tryed manualy getting in. it worked, but when ingame, my screen is 100% black and about every 15 seconds i can see, 2 seconds later its black again. and that repeats forever. i've done every fix i could find sitting around, but i think this is a problem with the update, seeing as every single server i see is not on 1.7.2.2 (all are on/around 1.60) i have the steam version of the game, and just to be sure, i asked my friend who has been playing dayz for the past week or so, he says he cant get in either. just a fix, or some clarification would be amazing ty in advace kill4fun
