SpottedBill 4 Posted August 30, 2012 Hey guys, I had to send my second hard drive to be replaced the other day and therefore had to move my Steam library to my system hard drive. I'm having a problem with Operation Arrowhead and more specifically applying the beta patch after reinstalling the game. My system seems to be telling the beta patcher that OA is installed at the old location on the D: drive (which is no longer there), and tells me that I either don't have the game installed or that it's corrupted. I uninstalled Steam completely and reloaded all the ArmA titles I have in hopes that it would reset the settings, but that didn't help. ArmA 2 starts up fine through Steam after the reinstall, but OA is giving me these error messages: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgInGameUi/MPTable.shadow' Error compiling pixel shader PSSpecularAlpha:0 And this is what the beta patcher says: ArmA2 OA is not installed on your computer or installation is corrupted. I'm running Windows 7 and have all ArmA titles purchased through Steam. Does anyone have any ideas how I can reset the install location for the beta patcher or fix the OA install?

tonygrunt 10 Posted August 30, 2012 Try to "Verify integrity of game cache" from inside steam. R-click on every ArmA product, click on Properties, select "Local files" tab and click on the verify button. This should set the registry values of the games to the new file location.

That actually gave me the idea that seems to have fixed it: I deleted the registry entries for ArmA and did the cache integrity verification again (which I had tried and it hadn't worked before) and now it seems to have fixed OA. I guess the beta patch must make changes to the registry that Steam doesn't know how to revert? Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonygrunt 10 Posted August 30, 2012 Steam should revert the registry file paths and the cd key to the correct ones, I have arma in both disk and steam and a verify cache will revert my disk registries entries to the steam ones. Maybe steam doesn't correctly check everything is ok. Anyway, glad you are up and running. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
