dcskill 117 Posted June 21, 2012 Ah, the bad CD key error.You basically have to go into 'Regedit' and copy your CD key from Arma2 over to Arma2:OA. Easy process, let me find a tutorial.Tutorial on how to fix "bad CD key for Arma 2 :OA --- Couldn't find one so I'll make one.Go into Regedit (search for it in windows) and navigate through the following files:1) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE2) SOFTWARE3) Bohemia Interactive StudioClick the folder called "ArmA 2" and to the right you will see something called "KEY". double click this and it will open a new window. Copy the funny(hex) code (CTRL-C).Now go into the folder called "Arma 2 OA". You shouldn't see a "KEY" in this one, that's why your having this problem. Right click the right side of the screen and click "New" and click "Binary Value". Rename this "new value" to "Key". Double click it and paste in your Arma2 key. Your done. Try it and it should work, as it worked for me and a few friends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
