Problems with ARMA 2 OA.

[Chuckie1991 1]

Hey everybody,

I recently purchased ARMA 2 Combined Ops from gamefly.co.uk. I downloaded and installed ARMA 2 and then ARMA 2 OA. ARMA 2 works perfectly, however when i open the ARMA 2 OA client it goes through the tick box section then freezes.

Picture of my current directory and the message i get when opening ARMA 2 OA.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance.

Can you post your RPT content?

For more information see here: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Crash_Files

Information about your system would be good too.

Did you update A2 OA?

I have the same issue (- i.e. Arma2 "has stopped working" in the tick box section, 2 ticks from completion). It always happens when launching the release 1.62 arma2oa.exe (version 1.62.95.248).

It didn't happen before the 1.62 patch. The beta versions work fine, so I use them for launching arma2 since the release of 1.62. This issue is not an isolated user's crash.

This bug is pretty severe and needs fixing (- even though it is possible to work around by launching the beta version instead). I have the non-steam version of Arma2 by the way.

OS: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

I am also having these issues.

Have you tried restarting your PC?

Right after updating my Arma2 OA (steam) yesterday, I started having crash to the desktop - for the first time ever. I've been running Arma 2 OA for a year now, no problems until today. And yes, I have restarted my computer.

Note that the crash ONLY happens after I die and am waiting to respawn or get revived (like on Domi).

This is the tail end of my .RPT file:

my RPT file is over 2.5 megs and goes back pretty far

I have already emailed bistudio with all of my rpt, bidmp and dxdiag files.

Thx

I had same problem for what seemed like forever - that being Beta would load no problem but vanilla would always CTD without an RPT report. I was pretty much resigned but somewhat bummed if the rare notion to play MP hit me :P

That said, I ran Steam integrity check and even uninstalled/reinstalled to the same result until something told me to look for any dll files in my root. I moved them out and voila -it loads no problem! Hopefully I didnt need them :)
