Arma 2: OA error after update 95248

[status 0]

So i have been playing arma 2, arma 2 oa, and day z with no problems until now. since the 95248 update, everytime i try to run arrowhead it gives me the "error creating direct3d 9 graphical engine" business. i reinstalled arrowhead and ran it before updating and it ran fine. i updated and it gives me the error everytime but only for arrowhead. vanilla runs fine, day z runs fine, even arma 2: combined operations runs without issue.i use steam for arma and updated to 95248 via six launcher. i think its just this new update thats screwing things up. any clue how to fix this? i have heard a lot of talk about the target parameter in the shortcut but nothing ive read so far seems to deal with this error happening to only arrowhead.

I think you have to jump through some hoops to play 'vanilla' Arma after installing the mods, have a read of this post:

Launch game via SixLauncher it will work

well arma 2: combined operations works fine so i guess its not a huge problem (if CO is essentially both vanilla and arrowhead in one game which is how i understand it) but its just something about this new update thats screwing with me.

To launch OA via the shortcut go to menu>expansions and tick Dayz
