Key Switching WITH PMC and BMF

Recommended Posts

So I have multiple keys/characters had the registry settings down to a science (you don't need to install twice if you know the hex code of your second key)...

However once I've installed PMC and BAF everytime I switch the registry settings it breaks it. I have to reinstall both add ons and run the 1.62 update at which point the other key will work, but if I switch it back it will break again.

It's giving me missing file errors which makes no sense to me as the registry backups obv. don't change any of that. I've checked launch orders, I've backed up both the whole Bohemia Interactive registry settings and just the OA settings and no matter how I do it when I switch it it breaks.

Any input would be welcome, I'd hate to have bought those for nothing, but quick switching is way better than a couple hi res cars, skins, and guns.

Thanks in advance.

I've had it working just fine on my desktop and laptop, for the laptop I never even did the install one then uninstall w.o deleting user info and reinstalling... I literally just swapped the hex code in the registry file and it worked fine.

Switching was fine till I installed the mod packs, now it won't work, it still works fine on my laptop. I've even gone the step of making a registry backup when one key was fully working, then uninstalling it all w/o deleting getting the other key working and doing another registry backup while that one worked and it always gets the same series of errors..

On loading arma it says failed to load xx file (windows error pop up before arma even loads)

after loading the lobby screen it says missing scope file and I get kicked,

then back at the arma main menu it gives me a pmc file error...

Checked the launch order and paths for both the working ones seperately and everything is the same, it SHOULD just be a hex key swap but it's not working... making me nuts...

any input is welcome, I try to offer as much advice on any threads I think I can help out on.
