Dropped steam in favour of Sprocket BUT!

Recommended Posts

I have just un-installed from steam and purchased ArmA2 CO from Sprocket plus BAF. (more money for BIS)

So I installed arma2 and made sure it ran, then arma2 oa and it runs fine, then baf and everything ok. I did not get a combined ops icon and then read arma2 needs to be at least 1.06, sprocket version is 1.05 so I ran the 1.55 patch and oa and baf got updated but not arma2!.

I then tried to apply the 1.05 to 1.07 patch on arma2 and received

"'Arma 2 is not installed on your computer or installation is corrupted."

I re-installed arma2 but still the same thing

Both arma2 and arma2 oa are in seperate folders, both run fine arma2 is still 1.05 and oa is 1.55.

I have googled to try and find and answer but no luck

Any help please.

Maybe this will help.

I had also problem with patching to 1.05 and then to 1.07.

Also, you might consider installing both ArmA2 and OA into the same folder (btw. what is the reason for not to?).

Didn't think of it at the time, but can re-install now I'm not with steam.

But I did find the solution, the registry for arma2 did not show the string value MAIN and location, once I fixed that the patch is working as I type

Well the patch worked and now at 1.07 but running the 1.55 patch again misses updating arma2 to 1.08! any thoughts?

I can get combined ops running using DWardens 'cmd' fix

Well thanks!, I'll do that when I have a couple of hours to spare! I don't think I'm going to miss anything by having arma2 at 1.07 :rolleyes:

You'll miss CO working properly.

Correct process SHOULD be the following

Install A2

Install OA into same folder which autopatches to 1.06

Patch 1.54 which also updates a2 to 1.07

Install BAF

Patch 1.55

Baf patch 1.01

Whole process should take an hour from start to finish. The reason I put the 1.54 in there is that I have had people asking for help telling me they've had issues installing BAF on top of 1.55.
