I have a question, is the "Wrong Cd Key" hot fix in relation to the "are not signed by a key accepted by this server. To play on this server, remove listed files or install additional accepted keys" problem?

This issue could also be fixed by moving your Addons folder from "Arma 2" to your "Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead" folder.

Stuck at "Loading" screen without any white bar above it... Any help?

Yeah, I have Loading sceen with a full bar after clicking continue at an error message in the lobby.

Stuck at "Loading" screen without any white bar above it... Any help?

Fixed by reversing the process in http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/29401-guide-steam-to-those-spawning-invisible-no-debug-errors-beta-update/. Now I got another problem. Got kicked regularly due to Battleye: Client not Responding issue. I've done the "Re-Install Battleye" step above but it kept giving me the same error message. Any help?

Other step I've tried:

Checked all the boxes in the "Option" at Six Launcher and applied all the steps at the link above. I can get into the game but the kicking due to Battleye: Client not Responding thing still occured. Tried to verified the cache files and re-installed the Battleye as the step mentioned at the first post but the problem still persist. Hope to see this fixed. Best of luck.

Thanks for the help, Ramm. It doesn't work, though. I tried it and still got kicked after about 20 minutes regularly due to BattlEye: Client not Responding. I appreciate the help, though. :)

Go back to the thread and look at what I just posted. That should work definitely. Not so sure about if you use six launcher though, haven't tested it.

I've done all of these except reinstalling ARMA2, I did reinstall OA last night and your other fixes for CD ket etc worked for me, I'm getting the shakes at this stage, got a server the other day and all my mates are able to play, but not me...

Close to eating my keyboard out of frustration...

Any ideas?

Also thank you for putting so much effort into this thread and the others, I'll be linking them from now on to anyone having difficulties.

It says it will be reacquired. Which means it has been reacquired. Your problem solved itself :P
