Warning messages after patching 1.55/1.08/1.01

[seelix 10]

Well,it took me ages to reinstall the game,after it wasnt possible anymore to play the game after patching.

Reinstalling the game wasnt a problem,but every time i tried to install a patch after,it showed up with some install errors (xerrordelta messages).

So i decided to :

1. install ARMA2 (clean without errors)

2. patched it to 1.07 ( 1 error)

3. patched 1.07 to 1.08

4. installed OA (clean without errors)

5. patched to 1.54 (1 error)

6. patched 1.54 to 1.55

7. installed BAF

8. patched to 1.01

In that order i got "only" two installation fail messages while the whole process.

Warning Message: Cannot load texture ca\structures\data\roof\roof_ethernit_smdi.paa

and Warning Message: Cannot load texture ca\structures\data\bricks\blocks_e.paa.

So from now on i always get the warning message Warning Message: Cannot load texture ca\structures\data\roof\roof_ethernit_smdi.paa when i

1. start the game

2. when joining a game

3. when i do nothing just be in the options menu

Any official statement (dwarden?) would be nice.

And a idea how to get rid of it would be.....awesome.

P.s.: I tried a dozen different patches from different locations (official and mirrors) and they always ended up in an orgy of fail messages,so i tried the way over 1.07 and 1.54 first.

solved the prob

[Dwarden 1126]

well any errors while installing == bad

so it would be useful to provide actually what files failed

Like i said above.

First error was ca\structures\data\roof\roof_ethernit

and second was ca\structures\data\bricks\plants_e

I also found something really weird in my directory.

Its a .tmp file from the structures.pbo . exactly the one it always pops up.

Should i delete that file or is it always present ?

Good news. I solved it. :)

The way to go was :

01. Deinstalled everything ARMA2 related

02. reboot

03. used REGCLEANER and deleted remaining entries. ( do this with admin rights or nothing will be cleaned.)

04. reboot

05. cleaned up the registry by hand. (deleted some ARMA2 related entries which were still there.was looking for "bohemia" and "arma2".)

06. reboot

07. installed Arma2 (error free)

08. installed patch 1.07 (error free)

09. installed OA (error free)

10. installed BAF (error free)

11. installed PMC (error free)

12. installed patch 1.56 (error free)

So i dont have this annoying popup message anymore.

I think the key was to clean the registry 100%.

Everything runs again like a charme.
