crawl55 10 Posted July 24, 2010 I know there are other threads out there for this, but for whatever reason, the explanation looks like Greek to me. If someone could break this procedure down real simple like...you know, for the less computer savvy it would be great! Thanks!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crawl55 10 Posted July 25, 2010 Ok, so I did what you said...and I saw no results... is the .cmd thing supposed to start ARMA? because if so, it does not! What could I be doing wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MJK-Ranger 0 Posted July 25, 2010 (edited) Ok, so I did what you said...and I saw no results...is the .cmd thing supposed to start ARMA? because if so, it does not! What could I be doing wrong? Does ArmA2 alone run perfectly and ArmA2:OA to then, Yes if you run _runA2CO_nonSteamOA.cmd (double click), but make sure your registry are OK, because the cmd file search for ArmA2 and ArmA2:OA install path.

crawl55 10 Posted July 25, 2010 Ok, so the problem was in the registry. There was no location for ARMA 2... so I fixed that...and they both load togther. The issue now is I have duplicate items in the editor from ARMA 2 and OA. Is this a problem with everyone else? Thanks for the help though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(ArmA2 + ArmA2:OA) Hmm never had that problem. Edited July 25, 2010 by MJK-Ranger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1125 Posted July 25, 2010 well how you installed the OA ? if you installed it inside same folder where was A2 and not standalone then You don't need the .cmd file at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crawl55 10 Posted July 26, 2010 So...I could install A2OA inside the arma 2 folder ...and this would take care of all my problems? Also, how would I use the COmbined Ops with the beta version of Operation Arrowhead? Thanks again everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
