Cant get into server - errors with keys?

[Hatebreeder 0]

When joining server i get "a list of about 3/4 paths to specific files within the install and at the bottom it says "are not signed by a key accepted on this server. to play on this server remove listed files or install additional accepted keys"

any idea what this is about?

i bought a "brand new" copy of arma 2 combined operations from gamestop today. i say "brand new" as it was the floor copy so it was open box however they said the actual cd has stayed behind the counter from day 1 and never been used.

I got the EXACT same thing.

I've found that if you actually delete those files, it'll generally go away.

For me it did, at least.

I think it has something to do with the way the game signs a file, not sure. But I know I had 2 sets of the offending files, and I deleted the ones that didn't have a key.

And in fact I just noticed that they're back. I have no idea really. But when I deleted them the error did go away. Not sure why.

which files?

[Hatebreeder 0]

desert_e.pbo

dubbing radio.pbo

languagmissions.pbo

core.pbo

i deleted the first ones but now there are more.

and full path? i dont have these files in my instalation... aren't you trying to launch a different mod together with dayz?

[Hatebreeder 0]

i dont think so. i am using six launcher, validating at the beginning and than trying to join any day z server in the browser. i have uninstalled everything including six launcher. i am re-installing. should i go through steam / six launcher or what?

[velyger@gmail.com 17]

launch the game as you usually do and go to menu and there is a list of launched mods on the right side of the screen, it should say:

beta

expansion

@DayZ

and bottom right corner:

Version 1.60.93965 (the actual one beta version)

EDIT:

i guess it is a problem with beta...

do you have the latest beta installed? (1.60.93965)

[Hatebreeder 0]

i did yes. i have uninstalled it all. i just finished arma 2, i opened the game and got the the mp menu. exited out. i am now installing operation arrowhead.

do this after you done with installing and reply whether these match

so i:

1.) installed arma 2 - launched game, got to the mp menu and left

2.) installed operation arrowhead - launched game, got to the mp menu and left

3.) downloaded newest arma 2 beta patch that was at the top of the screen in the green field from (http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php ) - installed beta patch

4.) went into arma 2 main folder and found "launch arma2 OA beta patch" shortcut (( in the directions it says to go into the arma2:OA main directory however i just have ARMA 2 folder.

5.) right clicked said file and adjusted the target to read "-mod=@dayz" at the end of the existing target.

6.) i then downloaded the newest dayz mod files.

7.) created new folder labeled @dayz inside my main arma 2 folder

8.) inside the @dayz folder i made another folder named Addons

9.) i moved all files over to Addons

10.) i launched game using the "Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch" icon inside my main arma 2 folder that i just edited the target,

11.) i get 2 the arma screen with day z under arma logo and correct version number

12.) i launch server - get kicked without reason right away

13.) launch again - get same error messages as before after re-installing everything

followed install steps from :

http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_install_DayZ#ARMA2_Beta_patch

what did i do wrong?

---

the only thing i can think of is that i dont think i ran the ARMA2 combined operations game all in one from the desktop after completing install of both arma2 and O.A. - did that mess up my install?

[Hatebreeder 0]

so i re-installed all over again, 3rd time no luck. same problem.

i did notice one thing i found odd.

my arma2 main folder is in programfilesx86

my operation arrowhead is in programfiles

2 different directories, one in 32bit and one in 64bit.

is this normal? i continue to get the error message about

files not being signed by a key accepted on this server.

wtf?

Did you get the patch 1.60 from this site?

http://www.arma2.com/index.php?Itemid=20

When i had this problem, i patched it with 1.60, NOT BETA, and it worked.

[Hatebreeder 0]

i believe the game patched itself. than i installed beta patch after.

---

can anyone who has installed retail version of the game confirm to me if their install has gone into 2 different folders like mine did.

arma2 in my programfiles and o.a. in my programfilesx86

---

i am reinstalling for the 3rd time but manually selecting the folders so they both go into the same bohemia interactive folder vs into 2 different ones.

[MrMorton 0]

I am having the same problem.

It seems that every single file with an ARMAII operation arrowhead icon by it in the expansion/addons AND the addons folder is a problem, I really don't want to delete half of the game files in the hope that that will somehow help.

[Hatebreeder 0]

here is what i had to do

uninstall everythying

install arma 2 disc -

install operation arrowhead disc

*** my o.s. was seperating them into different folders - make sure they are going into the same bohemia interactive root folder ***

run combined operations icon from desktop, get to mp menu and leave game.

update to newest arma 2 patch

install beta patch

create dayz folder and addons folder inside arma folder

install files into addons folder

edit beta shortcut folder to add the -mod=@dayz to the end of the target

launch

mine worked bfore i went to work.

awesome thanks, i just finished reinstalling CO, so I will follow this and see what happens. Also does it matter whether it was x86 or not.

[Hatebreeder 0]

i dont know if it matters. i directed it all to install to my f:\ instead. so my root is f:\bohemia interactive.

my f:\ is just a back up drive i have. so i would imagine it wouldnt matter. if it was me id put them both on x86 if you were gonna pick one or the other.

Make sure your ArmA game is patched from 1.50 to 1.60

My friend had this problem and that's how she fixed it.
