Need help after Arma2 & OA install

[Hrabosky 10]

I have TOH with latest patch installed. I downloaded & installed Arma2 & OA. Now when starting TOH I get a error "No entry'config.bin/CfgInGameUI/MPTable.shadow" Then if I click OK on it, I get another error " Error compiling pixel shader PSSpecularAlpha:0" After that desktop.

I did some searching and found info about "pixel shader" & some other way to launch, that I didn't understand. Do you I need to reinstall TOH ?

Thanks for any help

Tried TOH reinstall, no help

Applied updates ARMA2OA_Update_160, & ARMA2OA_Update_162 fixed the problem

Glad you found a way to get it working. I've added this note to the Community WiKi.

Hi,

I am using the Steam versions of A2, Operation Arrowhead, and TOH (All three purchased separately).

I installed the latest beta patch from the TOH website, which does not appear to be the same as the RC3 patch that went out prior to the official release. I did this because Steam has still not updated the game to 1.06.

When I launched the beta, my Arma 2 / Operation Arrowhead installations were NOT available.

First, I tried going to the shortcut, removing the -mod line, etc, and enabling "beta "in the expansions menu in-game.

This still did not cause Arma 2 to show up in the list of available expansions.

Next, I put the modline back, and also specified the paths to my arma 2 and operation arrowhead installations.

Now, when I try to launch TOH, i get the same error: "No entry'config.bin/CfgInGameUI/MPTable.shadow"

Arma 2 and Op:arrowhead should already be current, as I run them through Steam all the time. Not to mention that as a Steam user I am discouraged if not outright prohibited from manually patching the game.

EDIT:

SORRY! I got this working now. It was just a problem with my ability to follow directions. I had the order of my modline shortcut incorrect.

You must specify -mod="path-to-arma";Beta, in that order; if you put Beta first the game will not know what to do with A2 assets.

This.

Also, any free/paid DLC which adds more missions to the game. This is one of the few games where I would actually pay to have more missions.
