arma 2 oa steam patch 1.62 won't launch anymore

Recommended Posts

Bought the game through the bi store for steam, everything worked perfect until the patch earlier today. Game will no longer launch, no error. Only battleye loads and that's it. Exe doesn't appear in task manager. Running both steam and Arma2OA in admin mode. No result. Empty command line, no mods active. Validating files finds one file and redownloads it but it shows up as 0 bytes, repeating this step yields same result. No firewalls or routers blocking the way. Only MS security essentials running and its not putting up a problem. Running the exe in compatibility mode just gives me "error creating direct3d 9 engine". Everything ran fine before 1.62, had ACE and ACRE running fine with TS. Never had the beta. Arma 2 vanilla starts fine.

Remove (or rename -not sure it will work) dsound.dll and jayarma2lib file from main Arma2OA folder... it will work then.
