Arma2 OA needs CD to start

[ovaron76 10]

Hi,

after playing Arma 2 for a long time I've bought Arma 2 OA and installed it into the same directory like my normal Arma 2.

The "old" Arma 2 does not need the CD in drive for starting the game.

Arma 2 OA now only starts if I insert the CD into my drive.

Is there somewhere a setting to get the same behaviour from OA like the normal Arma 2 (starting game without the cd in drive)?

Thanks,

Ovaron

Which version should I take?

Thx,

Ovaron

Then you're starting the game wrong. Betas do not need the CD, period.

Check your Arma2 installation folder for a new Beta shortcut. Start the game with that.

But if you use a BETA patch aren't you not allowed to play on the servers using that patch only?
