Server file keys not accepted/Waiting for host help appreciated

Hi Guys an Gals an Walkers

I have honestly tried many, many things to get this mod working. I dident want to have to bug you but here we are. I have a steam purchased copy of ARMA2 and OA/CO

Points to note on what i have done myself

- I have tried both the latest patch and the previous 94876/94945

- I am using Six Launcher 1.7.2.3

- I am running the game as administrator

- I have tried coping the addons folder from the ARMA2 folder to the expansion/addons folder in an attempt to resolve this (Backed up beforehand of course :) )

- I have verified cache integrity within steam

- have used Six updater to update the essentials

- I have resinstalled battle eye

- I have deleted and reinstalled ARMA2 + Expansion + Mod (Which dident work kinda frustrating and time consuming but necessary troubleshooting step )

- I have A strong rig specs below so hardware is not an issue

- I removed the keys below from the addon folder which did not help (Made it significantly worse actually heh)

- Restarted system at various points

- Im sure i have done more than is listed but its been a long day my mind is buggered

I have a strong background in troubleshooting issues i work in I.T but im stumped here so if you can help thank you as i would love to help the community improve this game and find/report bugs to helpout and such. Plus you would justifiy the 20 euro i put out for it :D.

Thank you very much in advance

Joe

Server file keys....is it a server you are trying to setup?

Yes I had this problem as well. What you need to do is follow this guide step by step. So far this seems to have fixed the issue of that however atm I am having a "Battleeye initialization failed" error atm.

Hi Fade,

I followed the guide to the letter. Exact same error mate :)

Bump,

I have done the 700MB patch also which had not effect on the error.

There is a new beta patch as of today, 95054. i'll paste in a quick and easy step by step guide i wrote on my install method. Pay particular attention to the copying of the beta exe. If you have your own install method thats fine just get the new patch and use 95054 in the filter.

-Both games fully installed and ran before any mods or betas are applied.

-Dayz Updater ran and fully updated. Sometimes this updater has issues, in which case i use the torrent file instead. This can be found on the dayz website under "download alpha". Note. The files inside the torrent get extracted into: Default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ\Addon or if you havent used the default folder then find your install of steam and go to \Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ\Addon make sure you replace the existing files if necessary.

-Download latest beta patch (currently ARMA2_OA_Build_95054.zip) from http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php

-Run the .exe and install.

-Heres the important bit most people miss or do not do correctly: Go back to your steam directory, default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common, open the folder "arma 2 operation arrowhead" then rename "arma2OA.exe" to something like "xxxarma2OA.exe"(this is to create a backup should you ever need to remove the patch). From that same directory you need to move on to a folder named\Expansion\ then \beta\. Within here you will find another file named "arma2OA.exe". You need to right-click and copy this, then paste into \steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead(make sure you overwrite the existing .exe if necessary).

-Next just paste the following into "launch options" of Arma II: Operation Arrowhead" in your steam library: -beta=Expansion\beta;ca;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@DayZ;ca

-Be sure to launch the game as "combined operations". The game should be fully working and playable.
