i_deadly_i 10 Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) Ok I just reinstalled windows. I have my operation arrowhead and arma 2 all files. But i did not save my reg keys. Can someone please post arma 2/oa registry entries for 64 bit windows ofcours with out the cd key ones! Steam is being a faggot and wants to download operation arrowhead 2gb and arma 2 fully again. Wat a piece of shit? Right! Won't even let me only register the game without redownloading enourmous amount of data which is not unimpossible because my internet is 200 kbit/s max Also I used to have liek a "fake" installer for arma 2, which just allowed you to change cd-keys faster. I need some help plz :( I tired google and searching and shit. Edited July 5, 2013 by Deadfast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deadfast 43 Posted July 5, 2013 Importing registry keys won't save you from Steam downloading the game since the game state is somehow saved within Steam. Steam offers the option to create a backup of the local content which you should use to save yourself from re-downloading everything the next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonygrunt 10 Posted July 5, 2013 If you copy your backed up Arma2 folders to "steamapps\common" while the games are not installed in steam, it should rediscover them when you install them through steam and not require any download. The steam backup option is quite slow for some reason and sometimes fails to restore all the content. As for the registry keys a "Verify Integrity Of Game Cache" should restore them, if not the problem is usually a corrupted windows registry or sometimes for newly purchased games the steam key store has run out of keys.

i_deadly_i 10 Posted July 5, 2013 I copied my old arma 2 into common folder. Then it still wants to download. If I get the correct registiry stuff for it then I won't have to use steam to play arma 2. I could just launch the arma2oa.exe as normal! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
