Phixef 0 Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) I've tried reinstalling both ArmA 2 and ArmA 2 OA but every time when I update ArmA 2 I get this error, I'd appreciate it if you helped. Thanks.Edit: I get "Wrong cd key" error when I try to install the update. Edited July 1, 2013 by Phixef Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tr1x 53 Posted July 1, 2013 that happens to me as well, but it still let's me install the update, same thing happens with a few of my friends; does it still let you finish the update when you get the error? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmberHelios 2071 Posted July 1, 2013 what key error does it give acr or arma2 oawhat versions of the game do you have steam/retail or gog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phixef 0 Posted July 1, 2013 both are from steam, it just says in the middle of the update, and when I press 'Ok' the update just immediately finishes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phixef 0 Posted July 1, 2013 But most importantly, I get "BattlEye initialization failed" whenever I join a server. I've tried reinstalling both DayZ, ArmA 2 and ArmA 2 OA. They all have legimate keys and used to work like a charm until I needed to update ArmA 2 one day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phixef 0 Posted July 1, 2013 I've also tried doing the stuff that's said on other websites, like starting BattlEye Setup in the game directories but no use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwobBwub 660 Posted July 1, 2013 Have you tried re-installing BattlEye? This should fix the Initialization failed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
=DiG= Zgraphz 84 Posted July 1, 2013 open steam, right click all the arma 2 related games in your library, select properties then go to local file tab and select verify game cache. do that to all of them. then close steam out completely, then reopen steam, run each game to their main menu, in this order Arma 2/ arma 2OA/ Arma2 Pmc/Arma 2Baf. then exit from each one. then open dayz commander make sure everything is up to date. then run dayz.

Phixef 0 Posted July 1, 2013 Have you tried re-installing BattlEye? This should fix the Initialization failed.Yes as I said I did all that's being said on other places Arma2 Pmc/Arma 2Baf.I don't know what those are but I did try doing that verification and started them once through steam and then exited steam.

=DiG= Zgraphz 84 Posted July 1, 2013 those are the dlc's if you do not have them, pay no attention to them, you only need arma 2 and arma 2 oa (pmc and baf are bonus dlcs) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applejaxc 2500 Posted July 1, 2013 Delete your BattlEYE folders then install from scratch. Go on the BE website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phixef 0 Posted July 3, 2013 I think the last time I made it work by doing some stuff with the folder in the documents but I think it got downgraded. I don't remember what I exactly did but I'd be thankful if you could remind me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
