troubles with my Arma 2 OA

Recommended Posts

Soooo. ive been having some troubles with my Arma 2 OA. When ever i try to start the game... It shows the Bohemia interactive presents, thing, and blinks. After that i see a message saying " Bad serial number given in setup". I have no idea what to do.... And the weird thing is that ive tried to watch some youtube vids about how to fix it. But nothing works, and the people having the troubles always said that this happend just after they bought Arma 2 & Arma 2 OA...... but ive been playing DayZ, Arma 2 & Arma 2 OA for almost 1½ year now.

When i try to join a server using DayZcommander it says the exact same thing...

Your CD-key has not been stolen.

This happened to me the other day.

Go into Steam and verify the cache of both Operation Arrowhead and Arma 2.

That might work. It did for me.

It'll probably work. The thing is that bad serial number given in setup has nothing to do with one's CD-key being stolen.

Don't download the game again.

Run Arma 2 as administrator, and make sure you close the game after being at the main menu.

After you have done that, run Operation Arrowhead as administrator.

I think i know the problem.... One day, i tried to hack in DayZ... You know.. I downloaded a Injector program.. And as soon the program was done "injecting" the game crashed... Anyway to fix it maybe... I tried to reboot. but i cant go further back from the point i injected..
