oops...uh...how would i fix this...?

[omgwtfbbq (DayZ) 1069]

so out of curiosity, i was looking through the arma 2 OA menus. (keep in mind that i am playing dayz with ARMA 2 FREE and arma 2 oa all on steam) and then i saw extensions. so i look through here, wondering what these buttons do. so thanks to my retardedness, i clicked the "arma2" button on the extensions screen. and clicked "yes, i would like to restart my game now" so now, i can't start the game, because it gives me errors that i'm sure are directly related to me clicking the box. so now my question:

how can i uncheck the arma 2 option in the extensions part of the arma 2 OA menus when i cannot open the game in any way?

it sucks, because now i can't play dayz and get off of this damn rooftop.

ERROR LIST:

No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgInGameMPTable.shadow'.

Error compiling pixel shader PSSpecularAlpha:0s

and then the game just closes... WTF!

Kinda hard to undo something if you don't know what you did in the first place.You could always re-install the game.

My bad,it's late.I use combined operations so i don't know the proper steps but don't you have to enable arma 2 free to get it to launch with OA,can you not just repeat the steps you took the first time you played? Edited July 14, 2012 by JADO

I suggest uninstalling and the re-installing the game again. (Then stay away from that options menu!) :P

i have slow internet, with DL speeds of about 100kb/s. now imagine reinstalling ARMA 2...point being, reinstalling is a last-resort tactic. any other ideas? i can't like, change the config or something?

[omgwtfbbq (DayZ) 1069]

okay, so first, after clicking the arma2oa.exe shortcut, i get this:

No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgInGameMPTable.shadow'.

and then i get this:

Error compiling pixel shader PSSpecularAlpha:0

WTF DOES THIS MEAN!?

you have to run steam as admin, i believe the same thing happened to me, and that is how i fixed it.

If you're running steam you could always just start deleting config files and then right click on the game in the steam menu ->properties->local files->verify integrity of game cache

Or just verify integrity of game cache to start with.

Logical answer incoming!

I had the same problem, get completely out of steam. Signed out, closed, quit, everything. Right click steam and choose "Run as Administrator" This fixed the problem for me and a lot of other people. If you don't run through steam do the same for the game shortcut.
