terrvik 2409 Posted October 26, 2012 He did answer earlier that he never owned the game before. But if it was a cracked version then technically he did not "own" it before so he wasn't lying...Nice detective work though smasht! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mibz0r 141 Posted October 26, 2012 Yeah that is a pretty good find and a pretty unusual choice of username to be fair, probably why the OP isn't responding anymore ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
313411 0 Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) I only asked because someone with an identical username has posts on some dodgy website asking about servers that allow cracked copies of the game. If it's the same person he probably still has the cracked cd key in his registry that is banned, who knows if he has actually purchased a legitimate copy since. Maybe it's another person with the same name but if it's not that's a pretty important detail to leave out.I asked my brother if he maybe downloaded a crack and he said he did but he never made an account on that site, any help on removing that key?

SmashT 10907 Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) Why does everyone blame their 'brother'? Are you sure it wasn't dog?You could try deleting it in the registry before installing/running the legitimate version.Run Regedit and locate/delete ArmAHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Wow6432Node > Bohemia Interactive Studio > ArmA 2 OA Edited October 26, 2012 by smasht_AU 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
313411 0 Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) Reinstalled it, deleted the key and when verifying it still gives the same errorWhen joining a game it gives the "BattlEye initialisation failed" error againEDIT: Now when I try to join an non-BattlEye server it still says bad cd key!

SmashT 10907 Posted October 26, 2012 Did you run both ArmA and OA once to complete the installation? You could also try reinstalling BattlEye. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
313411 0 Posted October 26, 2012 Did you run both ArmA and OA once to complete the installation? You could also try reinstalling BattlEye.Yes I did, and I already tried reinstalling BattlEye and it didnt help...Also when I join non BattlEye servers I get the bad CD key error!

SmashT 10907 Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) Well there are lots of threads about the BattlEye initialisation failed error with suggestions for you to try, probably best fixing that instead of trying to join non BattlEye servers.

SmashT 10907 Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) Have you googled that error and tried any of the fixes? Running steam as admin for example? Edited October 26, 2012 by smasht_AU 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
