Hi everybody!

I installed the retail version of the game yesterday (ArmaX anniversary edition)

but I can't seem to get it working. I got Combined Operations installed, and it's working perfectly without the dayZ mod.

I got the latest beta patch installed

I'm using the sixupdater method to launch the game

error I'm having when I start the game is:

"addon 'dayz_anim' requires addon 'CA_Missions_BAF_2"

my specs are:

phenom x4 955

8GB RAM

560 ti SLI

OS: win 7 ultimate 64bit

thx!

Hi,

Is this error preventing you from playing the game?

If you cannot join a server, what does the error say?

Cheers.

I can start the game but it gets stuck on loading when i try to log on to a server. Seems like a lot of people have the same problem though, so maybe it has nothing to do with the error

Yeah, you should be able to play while encountering that error. I suggest you wait a day until 1.7.2.1 is officially released and stable where this issue has be illeviated.

Hope I could help!

I'm having a similar problem when joining a server. It goes to load screen and an error message pops up saying "Bad serial number given in setup"

Exit STEAM, then start STEAM via (left click select icon, right click open menu, select "run as administrator")
