Im not sure if this is allowed, but noone is replying to my troubleshooting thread on bistudios.com so im going to link my thread here.

It says to upgrade to the latest DirectX, I thought Arma II only works on directx 9?

DirectX will install all version I think, Try it you've got nothing to loose.

What exactly is the issue? I need more info on the problem. What errors are Arma 2 giving you?

I click play and it says "Unable to install DirectX", When I try to install/reinstall Arma II it says "C:/Windows/System32/X3DAudio1_6.dll" is not designed for Windows, and a bunch of more bullshit"...

Someone please help. It already says I have DirectX 11 so why install the same version again?

Just check over this guide (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/179113) and use google like crazy.

I'm checking the issue now, and hopefully I'll get some results quickly.

Heres a picture of the error when I try installing Arma II and then "checking" Run ArmaII now:

If I click OK nothing else happens, but If I try just clicking "Play" Without re-installing/installing it says,

"Unable to Install DirectX"

I tried installing the latest version of DirectX 11 and it says i already have a newer or equivalent installation of DirectX

[colekern 1364]

Thanks alot!

I'm doubting it'll work. But let's try this:

Download CCleaner from here: http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner

Ccleaner is a program that removes useless files and cleans your registry.

Run the cleaner in the registry section like this:

Download this: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

Install it. Try running Arma 2.

I ran the cleaner, and clicked fix all problems, downloaded the directX file you supplied and it just says "DirectX has determiend you already have an equivalent or newer version of directx installed"

EDIT: Still the same error when trying to run.

Try validating steam cache. Right click the game and click properties. Go to local files and click verify integrity of game cache.

I tried this before, but I'll try it again. Ill update this post with results.

EDIT: The file I downloaded from that thread worked flawlessly, I installed it and it said completed, however when I tried running ArmAII from the Autorun file it gave me the same exact error

I guess you've given up on me. I guess i'll just have to wait until the standalone version comes out, where I'll run into more errors and problems. :/ It's a shame.

Is there a way I can just disable all together the sound in Arma? To avoid this problem. I am desperate as you can tell.

So you've downloaded the files and installed those specific files individually? Try downloading the files and following the instructions here http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?x3daudio1_6

Sorry, got caught up in a discussion thread. Anyways...

It looks like you have to do a fresh install of windows. I'm sorry bro.

Here's what this guy did: http://forums.bistud...-xAudio2-file(s)-amp-sound-issues&p=1611350&viewfull=1#post1611350

It's ok. But I quite honestly don't understand that post.

- Reinstalling windows will download all of my drivers I thought. This guy says "the first thing i did after installing the newest Nvidia driver to my GTX295 card, was to install the DXSDK_Feb10" What the hell is DXSDK_Feb10 and is it compatible with my drivers? Because I don't have his "HD Definition Audio" thing. For my audio driver it says "Display Audio", I also have a driver called "Sound Blaster Recon3"

- And he says his "the newest Nvidia driver to my GTX295 card" I don't even know what that means either

I am not expierenced in this driver age. All the computers I've had in the past had no problems with drivers.

Refresh page one.

I downloaded the file you gave me. I'm pretty sure it doesnt work because as soon as it starts up it says it cant find the .dll files and when i try to search for the X3DAudio1_6.dll it says "Check you're internet connection" Yet im at 4/5 bars.

EDIT: You got a skype?

EDIT2: I don't understand this, "So you've downloaded the files and installed those specific files individually? Try downloading the files"

What video card do you have?

Look under that same directxdiag tool, but look in the display section.

You need to update your drivers.

Anyways, I need some sleep for Christmas, so tech support is down until later tommorow. Sorry bro.
