Kravity 0 Posted November 26, 2012 So, after reinstalling five times, verifying the game cache 12 times, running everything as admin, rummaging through the registry, trying every (and I mean every) fix I could find and spending 8 hours straight to try and get DayZ to work, I've given up and decided to make a topic about this.Now, since first installing Arma 2: CO (on Steam) and DayZ, I've gotten pretty much every error in the common error list in the sticky. I fixed and fixed, getting error after error, and now I'm just getting kicked for no reason when joining any server. Haven't played a single minute yet. I tried verifying the game cache, I tried running Steam as admin but it just won't work.From my wording one can deduce that I am quite aggravated by this. I use DayZCommander (tried SixLauncher, didn't help either), updated BattlEye, run Steam as admin and verified the crap out of the game cache. I'm completely at a loss. Does anyone have any idea of what might be the problem?RPT file here.OS is Windows 7 x64.Arma 2 OA patch version: 99153DayZ version: 1.7.4.4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sethylamine 0 Posted November 26, 2012 I've done all that you've done and still my game will not run either. I would like answers as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kravity 0 Posted November 26, 2012 Do your shortcut in steam look something like this?Have you installed Arma 2 before Arma 2: OA?What error/message do you get when you get kicked?I replaced the original Arma 2 OA .exe with the beta .exe in the folder you mentioned.Installed Arma 2 first, then OA.No error message. Just "You were kicked off the game." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St. Jimmy 1631 Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) Do shortcut with Arma 2 OA.exe and not with beta and put these:Target To: "E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\Expansion\beta\Arma2OA.exe" "-beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion" "-mod=E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2;Expansion;ca;@dayz" -skipIntro -noSplash -noFilePatching -world=emptyStart In: E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation ArrowheadMy friend got some problems with that and with that shortcut his DayZ finally started to work.But I watched your rpt file and didn't saw much bad in it when I compared it to mine. It just seems to stop without a reason. Sometimes you get almost through and sometimes not.But first time you got this: Warning Message: Files "E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\expansion\addons\uifonts.pbo", "E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\expansion\addons\water.pbo" are not signed by a key accepted by this server. To play on this server, remove listed files or install additional accepted keys. You maybe fixed and tried againThen second time nothing weird.Third time this:ErrorMessage: Data file too short 'E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\expansion\addons\dubbing.pbo'. Expected 2037067806 B, got 1092528258 B Dunno what this is :PBut then fourth time nothing againFifth time it crashes instantly on this:Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 0044FD5AAllocator: E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\dll\tbb4malloc_bi.dllgraphics: D3D9, Device: AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series, Driver:aticfx32.dll 8.17.10.1151resolution: 1680x945x32Addons: blablabla every addonMods: ExpansionDistribution: 1491Version 1.62.95248Fault address: 0044FD5A 01:0004ED5A E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\ArmA2OA.exefile: introworld: Desert_EPrev. code bytes: CC CC CC CC CC CC 51 56 8B F1 8B 06 85 C0 74 48Fault code bytes: 8B 00 83 F8 02 75 1B 8B 06 85 C0 74 05 83 C0 08Registers:EAX:605A9F00 EBX:00000000ECX:1E2EFC04 EDX:00000761ESI:1E2EFC04 EDI:0000007FCS:EIP:0023:0044FD5ASS:ESP:002B:018CF650 EBP:018CF734DS:002B ES:002B FS:0053 GS:002BFlags:00010206=======================================================note: Minidump has been generated into the file C:\Users\Maarten\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 OA\ArmA2OA.mdmpDid your game crashed once? Maybe something to do with drivers or just bugged dunno. Try to download latest drivers?And everytime after that it just stops on some spot like in 2nd and 4th times and once your character maybe even spawned. So I don't see good reasons in your rpt file to your kicks. Maybe battleye problem? It is weird that you couldn't get DayZ work with commander and other launchers. Maybe you should try to download latest beta just in case.Sorry I can't help much anymore. I hope someone else can.

Kravity 0 Posted November 27, 2012 I tried what you told me to but it still doesn't work. I now get the "Bad serial key given in setup" error, and the fix for that somehow doesn't work either. It just doesn't show the rest of the keys.Thanks for the help anyway, I'll keep trying. Beans for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
