try using the latest beta patch released. -> http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=107245

or you can also dl it from our mirror -> http://mirror.dyneslott.com/arma2beta/latest.php

make sure you read the read me.

***when/if you want to uninstall the beta patch, it is enough to delete/rename the "beta" folder under "expansions". I recommend not to use the uninstaller.

Do you have a USB headset? If so, unplug it then try playing the game I got the same error and that was the problem. It is a known bug and they said they addressed it in the Beta patch but it is still there.

strange how come You have ARMA 2: OA as version 1.52.71816 on STEAM

while latest version on STEAM is 1.54.72967

please upgrade Your STEAM version of game

[ahmedghazi 10]

i don't have USB headset, and the beta patch doesn't support steam version.

You're still using 1.52, however. Your Steam should have automatically updated to 1.54, but it hasn't. You need to make it do that.
