ArmA: OA Execution Issues- Need Help!

Recommended Posts

Since this thread was already here, I decided to use it for a new problem I have encountered.

I recently wiped my computer clean. I uninstalled Win 32 and installed Win 64 on a completely clean install. I then upgraded to Win 7 with nothing on the Win 64 OS besides default files. So I go install Steam, and try to install ArmA 2, and ArmA: OA. The first time I had been interchanging between downloads, so I understood when it said some of the things inside the game were messed up when I tried to run it. Ok, so I go install it again after clicking "delete local content", this time letting ArmA 2 completely install before starting Arrowhead. Now ArmA 2 will let me play with no errors, but OA still has some errors. It says something about there being a .cfg bin missing, then tries to run, goes to a black screen, and says I'm missing some shadow files after closing. I'll post the complete and exact issues tomorrow, because I don't have enough time to look at them now because I'm supposed to be in bed. Anyway, Play With Six tells me the CD key isn't registered with the game and to run both programs once before installing DayZ. I did try to run the programs originally without DayZ, but I thought installing it might do some magic and it would work. Sadly, no. I checked around a bit for this issue and did not find anything. I'd appreciate some feedback!

Is anyone else having forum issues this-evening?

Edit - OP, I'll wait to see if anyone else reports similar issues, if not I'll get you sorted out. Hold tight and scream if you wanna go faster.
