Invalid CD Key and can't enable DayZ

[Zombiehunter_Ben 0]

Hi guys,

i decided to register here, because i have a problem, which google can't solve.. :L

So, I installed DayZ and everything!

It starts (yes, I put the "-@DayZ"..-thing in), but i read, that there should be a "@DayZ" next to the ArmA2-logo but here isn't any..

In "Expansions" i saw, that "DayZ" is disabled, but i can't enable it..

When i start ArmA with the Arma2-Launcher, i have in Expansions "DayZ" and "@DayZ" but can't activate at least one of them.

When I start Arrowhead normally, without the "-@DayZ/Addons"-thing, i can activate "DayZ", this needs a restart of the game but then there isn't much more than before..

Then i found out, the ArmA2 Beta-Patch could help but it says "Invalid CD Key" at the installation.. :L

Anyone can help?

Thank you!

Btw, sorry, if some hings may be hard to read or not the right word somewhere.. I'm from germany and translated my problem into the english language by myself ;)

Did you bought the game? and if you did from where

[lvg 1690]

Launch from steam and the mod line is -mod=@DayZ.

As for the CD key could be an issue with where you bought it.

I got ArmA2 a few years ago for B-Day, so CD-version and Arrowhead from a friend on a USB-Stick, and i mounted it with daemon tools..

So you have an illegal copy of Arrowhead? I'm not surprised you get no CD key error if you don't actually own the game.

It's unlikely you'll find much help/sympathy here if you indulge in piracy...

Sounds like your friend probably gave you a black listed CD-key. (pirate copy of arma)

each copy of arma contains its own key, so only one pc may use it at the same time or else battleye will start kicking you out.

So i'd suggest that if your friend bought a copy of OA, you confirm that you put the CD key correctly or talk with BI for more support.

They can check if the key is working if not any kind of physical evidence of your game Cd key or purchase, will likelyfix this problem

Ok, i think i'll buy Arrowhead then, doesnt cost much if i'm right..

Well, thanks for your help, everyone, maybe see you in DayZ one day, when i have Arrowhead ;)
