Swapping to Steam

[[email protected] 12]

Right I actived my arma 2 cd code on steam and I have the game already installed but steam is trying to force me to reinstall the game again, there a way so I can just run it without having to download the game again?

 

I have two armas II on my steam game list now, both are the same Cd code....

Try verifying your game cache

Do this for both arma 2 and arma2:OA

That had nothing to do with it, I figured it out anyway.

 

What to do is the following:

 

1. Load up Steam.

2. Select Game tab.

3. Select "Active a Product on Steam".

4. Let it go though and start the download.

5. Right click Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead on your game list.

6. Delete Local Content.

7. Go to your Steam Apps folder and you will see a folder with Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead.

8. Now open up your old folder with Arma 2 and move or copy files to Steam Arma 2 folder.

9. Go back to Steam and start the downlaod for Arma 2 on your game list.

 

It will now look though those files and then once its sorted the files, it will download the required files your missing, this will cut alot of downtime on your download and will also carry over your mod files.

 

Then verify your game though dayz commander and remember to change the file directory on your dayz commander settings.
