OA Won't Start !!!!!!!

[dokken1212 10]

Just receieved my copy of Operation Arrowhead but it won't run as I continually get the message:

Data File too short ‘addons\a10.pbo’. Expected 15499561 B, got 3932160 B

I uninstalled then reinstalled the game but to no avail ...keep getting the same message.

I also cleared out the MPMissions folder as I read somewhere to do that

Any help would be most welcome as I am desperate to get this game rolling

Many thanks in advance for help offered

Best wishes

I thought the A10 was an arma2 vehicle.

If you have arma 2 installed, make sure its patched upto 1.07, this maybe your problem.

What is the file size of your a10.pbo? (mine is 15.137KB)

hey mate ..... i opened steam and an update is performing on ARMA2 right now ....so maybe that was the problem ..... i'll know in about 30 mins or so.

As for my a10.pbo I am noticing as this update is goin on the file is getting bigger as when i started it was like 3772KB or so and now it stands at 7680KB .....so it appears this may be the issue.

As soon as I have this update down and tried Arrowhead i'll get back and say whether it was succesful or not

Thanks again mate for giving me advice and pointers to try and help ....greatly appreciated indeed :-)

All the best

Yes, there is an A10 in OA for US faction. The one in ARMA2 is for USMC...

Dokken: Try copying the whole DVD contents to your hard drive and install from there.

You posted while I was writing...

As an ubdate ...... my a10.pbo folder is now 15.137KB Same as yours cannonousCrash mate. I notice the update through steam is increasing all the folders in size as its running through Buildings.pbo now .....so it must be a case of needing the update in so that all the files are present for OA to run ....looks like the problem is solved mate ...... many thanks amigo :-)
