Failed to contact key server

[sirdaecon 1]

Hi guys i just bought Arma 2 Complete Edition from steam, i installed arma 2, operation arrowhead & dayz. I was able to do the initial "boot" for arma 2 but when i go to OA it says "failed to contact key server", is there any way for me to bypass this so i can play Dayz? What does this problem mean? Thanks!

Are you using Dayz Commander? If not.... You should

I am sir.

Good! Then some more questions:

Have you updated it completely to the last version?

Do you have this problem with every server that you try to connect to?

Do you have ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead installed?

Do you have the right CD-Key for the game?

Have you bought the game via Steam?

If you can answer: 'Yes' to all of the above, please contact Steam.

The "Key Server" is theirs and it checks if the cd-key you have (or not have) is valid.

Hope this resolves your problems :D

I already got a reply from Steam, it seems they just ran out of keys. Already enjoying the game, thanks for answering =)
