DemonicUnicorn 1 Posted July 28, 2012 I've re downloaded the game, deleted and re downloaded DayZ, restarted my computer, etc etc, yet I still get the same message. "Bad serial number given in setup" any help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Metal Viking 18 Posted July 28, 2012 What I did is after you have got the beta patch needed to play DayZ, go into your game directory and find the beta patch, mines here.Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta. and launch the game via that.

Sgt.Asshat 607 Posted July 28, 2012 If you're using steam, verify the game cache. Then run Arma 2, then OA then CO and then it should work! :) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishi07 0 Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) I already reinstalled Arma2 and OA and runned it both ... didn't work for me.I also did all the things describes in that link ... didn't work, too.*Edit: I just wanted to try that again with deleting the folders in regedit, but I noticed I cant delete one folder ... maybe that's the problem?
