Yep I got the same error, I was able to run the game before but I was having issues. When I installed the latest beta and ran ARMA2: Combined Operations that's when this error appeared.

This is because you're not actally launching the beta, if you both bought the game of steam follow this guide

I would try downloading and reinstalling directx 9 and or your video card driver/software.

You are having a direct 3D issue there, failing to find/load needed gfx processing video protocol.

LVG knows more than me, I would take that advice first before you mess with your video software/drivers.

Oh I just found a fix for the Direct3D error, it's a problem with the launch parameters.

If you're using Steam:

1) Right click on AMRA 2: Operation Arrowhead in your steam library

2) Click on Set Launch options and copy paste the following text into that field WITHOUT the quotes. Make sure this text replaces anything you might already have in the launch options:

"-beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@DayZ"

That still doesn't work, and no other solutions with the launch do. I could use it until I used six updater to download some mods.

AVOID SIX UPDATER!!!
