ArmA 2: Combined Operations doesn't launch ArmA 2 but launched ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead

So, here I am, with a kind of broken Combined Operations. Since the problem only happens when I try to play DayZ, I have posted this topic on the correct forum.

Well, I'll go right to the problem. When I start the game, I get "Addon 'day_anim' requires addon 'CA_Dubbing_Counterattack". The game then launches, but when it tries to load a server, I get "No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Citizen1.scope'." Thereafter it says something like "This mission cannot be played/edited, it is reliable on downloadable content that has been deleted.chernarus".

Now, my guess is that my Combined Operations is not launching ArmA 2, but it launches ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead while it should launch both.

Regards, Thor

PS: I can give pictures, just ask me

PPS: I have NOT torrented my version of Combined Operations, I have bought it via Steam.

Oh and, Bohemia has just given me a new serial key to Combined Operations due to it being stolen/broken, and it's kind of stupid with an unplayable Combined Operations.

Combined Operation just means ArmA 2 and ArmA 2 OA launching together. I think a new update made it so all you have to do is launch OA and the activate the expansions in the main menu/expansions.

1. Launch ArmA 2. Then shut it down.

2. Launch ArmA 2 OA and check in the expansions menu, if ArmA 2 is active.

Dallas, I have done both, and checked if ArmA 2 stands in Expansions. It does.

Anyway, when I try to use the armoury,(In OA) I can only use Takistan as a scenery, and when I try to play the ArmA 2 non OA campaigns they don't show up.

I'm not sure what you should do next, but while you wait for other replies, try creating a similar thread on the BI forums:
