Trouble Starting game

Recommended Posts

Just bought Combined Operations off of steam. Downloaded both games, then ran them both...

ArmaII ran just fine, but when I start Operation ArrowHead I get an error box that reads:

" No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgInGameUI/MPTable.shadow'.

If I click okay on that, about 20 seconds later the game seems to open, but closes quickly and I get the message:

" Error compiling pixil shader PSSpecularAlpha:0 "

So..... any suggestions?

Okay, I reupdated using Six Launcher, but when i go to join a server, it opens up a loading screen then shuts it down with the error

"Bad Serial Number given in Setup"

The usual fix for this is to Launch Arma 2 once, and then Operation Arrowhead once. This removes any registry issues you are having.

If this issue still persists; exit STEAM, then start STEAM via (left click select icon, right click open menu, select "run as administrator")

If that fails please restart the PC.

Hope I could help!

Open up steam, go to library, right click on Arma II Operation Arrowhead, click on properties, click on the local files tab, then click on the verify integrity of game cache button and it should fix that file for you.

Run Operation Arrowhead in administrator. If no errors occur, open DayZ in Six Launcher.

Hope this helps; let me know!

Okay after doing that it says "1 files failed to validate and will be reacquired"

You can't catch a break can you?! xD

From what I've read on the Beth forum, that 1kb file that always fails to download is of no importance. Other members have stated that many Steam games have this issue.

Is this error appearing when using Six Launcher?

Ultimately, if you can play the game with no game-breaking bugs, ignore the errors.

Okay, this should fix it!

Add this to your startup line again:

"-mod=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\ArmA 2;EXPANSION;ca"

Restart your PC.

This should eliminate the two errors you receive when running OA. Run OA in administrator.

Once those errors have gone, run DayZ from Six Launcher.

And to think all this to play a mod. Hope you think it was worth it......... It is.

Hope you're not having a graphic card related error. Do you meet the system requirements? Update your drivers.

Okay I can help you out man.

First run steam as an administrator.

Go to your games library.

Right click Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead

Left click on the properties tab.

Left click on "Set Launch Options"

Copy and paste this into that box.

-mod=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\ArmA 2;EXPANSION;ca

Click okay and it should work.

If that doesn't work then refer to this link which has many fixes for this problem.

There's currently a loading bug present after 1.7.2. Try disconnecting and reconnecting to another server, one that is updated and has a reasonable player count.
