Have you launched both ARMA II and ARMA OA?

This belongs in the technical support forum section by the way.

Run steam as admin , Run arma 2 Combines ops if you get same message then you need to wait because Steam is out of CD keys probally

[Osaka (DayZ) 32]

As said before, you need to run the original games first through steam, and if you desire, create a player where you adjust your in game name, and looks, then run DAYZ. Steam can only activate the game if you run it at least once.

how do u create a player

Tizzle, I thought you mentioned in your other thread that you got it working.

Is this a new issue?

Either way do this:

Quit Steam.

Run it as Admin.

Verify local cache files on Arma2.

Verify Local cache files on arma2:OA.

Run arma2.

Quit arma2.

Run Arma2:OA.

Quit Arma2:OA

Launch DayZ.

You could create a player from within Arma2, but don't worry about that now.
