Dchil 829 Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Hey guys, a while ago I bought Arma 2 and OA on a disc and just recently I got some early Christmas money and decided to buy the PMC and BAF dlc (Along with Arma 3 :)). I have put A2:OA in my steam library but i can't install the DLC, any one know why this is or if i'm doing something wrong or if it just isn't possible. Thanks in advance.

cywehner1234 582 Posted November 28, 2013 I honestly think you cannot do this. Your games arent actually bought through steam, therfor steam doesnt recongnize you have them. You bought them completely seperate, and you need to buy the STEAM versions for the STEAM DLC to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once you launch it, it will install the DLC completely, and load to the main menu. Then you should be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Therefore how would i get steam to recognize the retail version? cause every time i try to put the DLC in my library it goes "You need Arma 2 Operation arrowhead to play this"( or close to that).

Just find your OA and add it as a non steam game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
