Arma II Bad CD Key

Recommended Posts

Hey I'm a newbie here, and I just got Arma II Combined Operations, and I want to play DayZ that is mainly the only reason I got that game to be honest.

Alright so I started both Arma II and Arma II OA more than once, and tried single player, it worked, but when I go to try multiplayer I get a message from both versions saying bad CD Key. By the way I'm using the six launcher updater, but the @DayZ folder is still there.

I don't know what to do, and I really want to play DayZ I'm not the most tech savy so if you could help me step by step, and I will be most grateful.

BTW IM NOT USING STEAM

Exit steam, open as administrator.

Go to games library, find Arma II, right click and properties > Local files.

Then proceed to click Verify integrity of game cache, something should pop up then.

After that open Arma II. Then exit it.

After this do the same to Operation Arrowhead.

This should fix your problems
