Addon 'dayz_anim' requires addon 'CA_pmc' & all .pbo files wrong key not accepted

[jleeevinnn 0]

Ok, first of all I have searched my error and came up with 100's of results, not one solution has worked.

Exact steps of what I did:

1) Installed Arma II

2) Installed Arma II: OA33

3)Ran Arma II: OA

4)Ran Arma II: OA Beta patch latest (of nov. 25)

4) Ran Arma II, played armory

5)Ran Arma II: OA, played armory

6)Connected to a regular ArmA II: OA Server (Just to make sure since ive done this a dozen times -.-)

7)Installed DayZ With 6Updater, let it run all the way through untill a promising green "Join" button appeared.

8)Clicked join on server that I downloaded the mod off of on 6updater, first got an error with something like 'bin\config/Scope'S

Something like that (With forward slash and backwards -.-)

9)Clicked cancel, and proceeded to join the game.1

10) Another error 'Addon 'dayz_anim' requires addon 'CA_PMC'.

10)Then a window popped up with EVERY single .pbo addon in my Arma2/Addons/ folder says "These files keys are not accepted by this server, please remove, or install aditonal files" Im sure all you helpers have heard of this error before because I see it 1,000 results when I google it. Yet no answer.

I HAVE TRIED:

1)SixUpdater

2)DayZCommander

3)Manual installation

4)Copying addons folder to Arma II:OA folder

5)Numerus other things that have resulted in ultimate dissatisfaction.

I tried re-intalling, same errors.

MORE INFORMATION:

I purchased Arma II and Arma II: OA off Amazon in bundle package. Installed using amazon downloader (default), I did for sure, get the latest patch.

Directory I chose both downloads ArmaII:OA, and Arma II to install to: C:/Program Files/Bohemia Interactive/Arma II/Arma 2 - Operation Arrowhead/

THEY ARE NOT in the same folder There are two folders inside the Bohemia Interactive folder.

Please, for gods sake and love, please help me. I have a skype, anything, I just want this to work. I bought this damned game just for DayZ days ago, I still havn't gotten an hour of gameplay in.

Bump...?

[tickle_me_jesus 37]

Did you buy any DLC and installed it (PMC or BAF)?

When I installed it and ran for the first time, inside the Expansions folder it has to things named baf and pmc

I'm sorry, but this next part is going to sound mean, and I'm not trying to be cause I'm sure you've tried this:

When you open DayZCommander (don't use SixUpdater, it's not user friendly), go to the install/update button on the top. Make sure your DayZ and Beta patch are updated VIA DayZcommander.

[tickle_me_jesus 37]

Ok,

your problem has to do with the DLC BAF and PMC.

Those folders (both of them) need to be in your main operation arrowhead folder.

Furthermore, you will need to run an update to make sure your PMC files and BAF files are up to date (trust me, I bought it about two months ago through BIStudio webshop and still had to run an update dating back to 2011 for the DLC ~ you would think they could just provide the updated patch when you actually buy it. But whatever...)

You need to update your PMC to 1.02

http://community.bis...PMC_Patch_v1.02

downloadlink to A2OA 1.60 PATCH (it includes both BAF and PMC patch)

http://community.bis...OA:_Patch_v1.60

Just make sure after running the patch you reinstall the latest (or one of your choice )ARMA BETA patch again. The reinforcements patch 1.60 will unfortunately also reverse your ARMA2 BETA patch to some ancient version.

Try this and I hope it will get your problem fixed

Isnt the latest version 1.6.2?

[tickle_me_jesus 37]

This has nothing to do with arma or dayz patches..you need that file to upgrade your PMC/BAF files, that file I linked contains those. Afterwards you can update your Arma again.

[jleeevinnn 0]

But you linked an arma:Oa patch for 1.60

Ok so:

Download both files you linked me, run both of them, re-patch arma 2 to the beta patch i want and then run dayz?

[tickle_me_jesus 37]

Sigh...try it or don't. See if I care.

Good luck solving your problem

EDIT: No you need only to download reinforcements 1.60 patch. Extract it and run it > this will update your PMC and BAF files.

Side effect: It will revert your ARMA 2 BETA to an old version.

Solution: redownload ARMA 2 BETA patch of your choice, and update.
