getting money back or getting it fixed

[mrbiggles 10]

I have spent the best part of 10 or so hours trying to get multiplayer to work on the steam downloaded version of ARMA2 OA.

I get "you have been kicked off the server" or "this server requires battleye"

I also get:

"DLCsetup\PMC\PMC_Data\addons\air_pmc.pbo" - decryption of headers failed.

I have attempted to install battleye 47 different ways......

I like this game but would just prefer a working version of it.

I have spent well over $100 on all of the addons etc & have had no success in getting assistance from either steam direct or the forums here.

How do I get my money back from Steam? so that I can go and purchase it from another provider?

Ultimately I will just put a chargeback on my credit card but I would prefer to get this game working on multiplayer as when it is working, its worth the money.

Charging back to Steam will cause them to kill your account so if you have other games on Steam, this is not a resolution I would suggest.

I've always found Steam fairly flexible if you contact them directly.

just untick the 2nd PMC listed in the expansions menu within ingame UI

OK thanks very much, I will give it a try.

one advice: DONT USE STEAM.... my pho

[mrbiggles 10]

Yep I know that now

I did have the game before but lost the install files.

Now I am buying it again but it will not be steam as me and my brother in law have organised a day over christmas to get stuck into it.

Cant wait:yay:

Also the two problems were interlinked, once I deselected the second instance I was able to join the online games & the error at the start disapeared.

btw. this problem will be fixed with PMC 1.01 and OA 1.57
