Shadow07 10 Posted August 8, 2009 I have installed ArmA2 and everything runs fine if it isn't patched but as soon as I patch it, it will not start at all. It IS in the End Process list when you Crtl Alt Del. but I cannot end the process. I have tried reinstalling the game and installing patches from other sites. I even tried exchanging the game for another and still no good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bad Pilot 0 Posted August 8, 2009 Are you installing the patches in order? I don't think you can just install 1.02 or 1.03. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow07 10 Posted August 8, 2009 Yes, install Arma2, then 1.02 then 1.03 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex72 1 Posted August 8, 2009 If you have 505 version then you got 1.01. Then you can install directlly to 1.03. But im not sure whats going on for you. Pirated version would behave like that i think - new EXE will ruin a crack. Not saying your copy is illegal though! Sounds weird. Hopefully someone else have an idea for you.

Shadow07 10 Posted August 8, 2009 Nah, straight from Best Buy ;) Oh, one thing I forgot, I did have it on Steam first off, but before i installed the hard copy i have, i uninstalled the old Arma2, uninstalled Steam, then went through and deleted any remaining files that were left over Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex72 1 Posted August 8, 2009 And "in the end where you ctrl+alt+delete"? What do you mean? I dont have to do that when i patch up ARMA2. 1. Install ARMA2 2. Download Patch 3. Install patch 4. Click "OK" when its done 5. Start game Ctrl+alt+del? Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadow07 10 Posted August 8, 2009 When I start the game whether it be from the CD, start menu, exe file in program files, or from the desktop. The loading hour glass will show up then disappear. The 1o boxes for loading the game will not. But in End Process when you ctrl alt del the arma.exe is running as a process using 23000k. When i highlight it to end the process nothing happens. ---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ---------- Sry Tony but it didnt work bud Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
