Global ban #a796 and CD key in use

[jlocohustler 1]

I bought Arma 2 Combined Operations from GOG yesterday and just got it installed couple hours ago. I've been messing around in Bootcamp for a while and decided to go online. Online I go and all I get is some kind of "Global Ban a796" or something. I decided to forget about it and continued the Bootcamp.

Then I decided to install DayZ, so, I installed Play withSix and installed the mod from there. Joined a server and the same a796 message again.

Then I searched online and turns out I didn't register my serial number. So, I ran the GOG serial register and it registered the key for me. I can see it in my registry under KEY.

However, now I get a "Key in Use" message when I join a server. What does that mean? The sticky says that it happens when you install some kind of key stealer or hacks but well, I didn't install anything apart from the game, the mod installer, and the mod itself.

Maybe there's a step I missed?

I buy directly from BI. Never anyone else. I dont even buy Arma from steam. But whatever GOG is, I wouldnt have registered my key anywhere, I wouldve kept it safe and secretive.

But whatever GOG is

You mean you don't know GOG? It's pretty trustworthy, pretty much same as Steam I'd say.

Anyway, do you know anything about the a796 thing? Or where I could get support for that?

I've never used GOG but from a bit of reading it seems you need to grab your actual cdkey from your account on their website and then put it in some software they supply and run it as admin to apply it. Maybe you haven't done that or didn't right click and run it as admin and the default one they give to everyone (if that's how it works) is globally banned. Presumably you wouldn't even need the software, you could simply copy the key into the registry.

I'd contact GOG and ask them tbh.

Alright I got it. It was something with Play withSix. It didn't install the mod properly or something. I uninstalled everything and used Dayzcommander to install the mod. Works fine now :D. However, the game is very scary but I'll deal with that I guess :P
