serious problem with arma or

[Kaidan 1]

I have trouble starting the Operation Arrowhead. finished downloading today by steam arma 2 and OA, arma 2 everything works perfectly, the problem is that when I run for the first time the OA and attempt to access a server to test and got an error that was not valid cd key , went back to run and I came the following errors:

"No emtry 'bin / CfgIngameUI / MPTable.shadow" and followed by this, this ...

Error compling PSSpecularAlpha pixel shader: 0

Question, did the OA backup and uninstall and reinstall, but I keep going the same.

You seem to start the game wrong. How do you start it?

Can you please upload your rpt as well:

Are you using a Steam version and windows 7/vista? If you are, start Steam as administrator and that messages will go away. (or yo might have to install directx 9.0c again).

I suppose same goes if you are running a non-steam version, just start it as an administrator.

Ps. rename the topic to something that helps others as well e.g. "Arma2:OA not starting, error msg MPTable.shadow"

if i Start the game with "lauch arma 2 Combined Operations" the game works fine, but if I try to play multiplayer ""bad cdkey-your cd key is disabled. Contact customer service"

Dunno about that but at least you don't get the MPTable.shadow error no more?
