ACR: can't see new maps or missions?

Recommended Posts

Hi, i've just downloaded ACR and get the broken installer problem "!!! missing string".

As a workaround i've extracted the archive to a new folder, and moved the ACR folder to my Arma2 main folder (w/ all official DLCs), adding ACR to the shortcut.

For clarity, i don't use Steam - i've bought all DLCs separately.

I see ACR listed as an installed expansion in-game, but cannot see any of the maps, missions or campaigns associated with it.

Inside the ACR folder is an addons folder, containing all the downloaded PBOs in the archive. What else do i need to do to manually install this DLC - do i need to extract any of the PBOs, or move them to other folders? The only installation instructions included were:

- Please, make sure that you have the original ARMA 2 and ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead, or ARMA 2: Combined Operations installed

- Allow the setup to make changes to your computer

Needless to say both conditions are met...

Again, this is non-Steam DLC and a non-Steam installation, and i'm specifically asking for guidance as to manual installation of ACR.

Oops, scratch that, i found my problem - i'd renamed by installation partition from I: to E:, but without updating my Bohemia registry keys.

I updated the paths via Regedit and voila, the installer worked successfully.

Sorry to waste any bandwidth... Still, the error message could've been a bit more informative...
