Addon CA_PMC requires version 1.56 of application.

Title says it all as the rules say it should?

Got Arma 2/OA/PMC installed, but when trying to run Combined Arms I get the message as in my title.

Getting a little pissed off, as Arma 2 has never worked properly, and even though expansions/DLC's (and the patches that come with them) promise to fix things, they only get worse/ they don't even work at all. After waiting for (let's blame them for it) Steam to fix the PMC DLC from not even being activated to now it still not working is just too much.

Especially since the gaming industry still is somehow untouchable from the most basic consumer rights of actually getting what you pay for, or getting your money back. (Strange how companies can sue eachother over the smallest pieces of "stolen" code when employees swap jobs, but selling false/broken feature lists to consumers is completely legit as long as you can prove it's in, but bugged with an airey promise of fixing it.)

I don't want to hear how I'm supposed to delete everything and during reinstall copy files left and right while I'm running shit as admin and changing .cfg files to get it all to work. I shelled out over 80 bucks for this softwarepackage and it needs to $^#@^% work.

Just letting you know this is the problem causing me to stop playing, as this wasn't yet among the many problems posted here. Have fun, the second they change laws I'm coming for my money.

Try right-click on your game entry -> Settings -> Local files -> Verify integrity of game cache.

This helped a buddy of mine.

You did apply patch 1.56 before applying PMC didnt you?

[nettrucker 142]

I installed patch 1,56 after I installed the PMC DLC no problems here. So I would esclude that installing PMC first and the patch afterwards causes this problem.

kind regards

Right, when you buy a car, a mobile phone, an mp3 player or whatever and it doesn't work properly and you're told you can't get your money back, but you can buy an upgrade (or 2) which will ensure your product will work as promised but it STILL doesn't and you take your product back to the store to ask an employee what's up, but at the store the employees are behind closed doors and all you can do is sign up and leave your complaint on some notice board so you do, is called "trolling" in your world?

FYI.. the only one trolling is you..

a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

DaJonkel. I'm assuming you have everything on Steam, verify the game cache and see if that fixes it (as suggested above) if it doesn't then something has probably got corrupted somewhere which is a Valve/user issue and nothing to do with BIS.

Buy software is very different from buying a physical product, so don't compare the two. If you don't understand how it works, or if you just can't accept it, then don't buy software...

Since this is your first time posting, it seems you haven't even tried once to seriously troubleshoot or report the problem. You can't expect the devs to magically fix something in an update if they don't even know there's a problem.

I got this problem the first time I fired up PMC. The reason was because I was still using the beta shortcut (which is < 1.56).

Arma2 has always worked. Its just the Steam version that is a bit, well, dodgy.

There are many Steam users that have no troubles at all with ArmA (including myself). It may just be unexperienced users...

Besides, Dwarden is always around to help Steam users out. If there is a problem, you can usually count on him to get it resolved.

[hellfire257 3]

Thats true, the majority of people that have it on steam and have issues that I know, well, lets be honest here, are not very advanced, as you rightly said.
