Had the same problem

i had some old jayarma2lib files in my arma2 folder. (dsound.dll, and some other j2l things) i removed them and the it worked

Make sure you try without any addons first. If this works, enable addons on at the time until you found the addon/mod that causes the crash.

Hey guys - I had this problem too.

Starting without mods was not enough, i renamed the dsound.dll in the arma2 folder to dsound.dll_bak and it was working. I guess, JayArma2Lib and ACRE won't work until they get updated for the actual version.

Is there a dsound.dll file originally in arma2? or was it just added by the mods?

cya on the fields

Thats it - dsound.dll was the problem for me too.

I confirm this rename of dsound.dll to dsound.dll_bak works for me.

I was getting a "ArmA2 has stopped responding" immediately upon launching the game.

Yeah i was getting the Arma 2 OA has stopped responding the second I double clicked it to run.

I changed the dsound.dll to dsound.dll_bak

and the game ran.
