ArmA II / OA Installation problems

[sonanth 1]

I just bought the retail CO from the bistore yesterday. Spent all night downloading A2, go to install this morning, put in key, then get an read file error saying that Battleye.exe is missing.

Google hasn't turned up results, and searching brings up everything else. What do I do?

ETA: I believe I fixed it. I had left the sprocket downloader open. Once I hit stop and closed it, I was able to finish installation.

Downloaded OA from the Bis store. When I try to install I get an error Message that says "file read error: C:\Users\Jman\Documents\ARMA2Patch_1_09.exe.xz"

On the setup window it says "source: C:\Users\Jman\Documents\ARMA2Patch_1_09.exe.xz"

Am I missing something? This file does not exist. Is it coming from the OA install? Do I need to download something else oris my install corrupted. The sproket window said file missing but it also said it was at 100%.

After clicking on the Launcher a pop-up come up saying "The program can't start because X3DAudio1-6.dll is missing from your

computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

I don't know what to do can someone please help me?

When I installed the game, and tried starting it up, it told me that smething was corrupted during the download/install. So I verified the game cache, it said a single file was missing, but it wouldn't downlad the file, and I tried this several times. So I finally decided to re-install the game, still didn't work. Idk what t d, if anybody can help.

Ps. My "O" key is a little messed up, so that's why some of my words are a little messed up.

Do you meet the minimum requirements of a Shader Model 3 graphics card?

Hi,

I have installed arma2 and the 3-in-1 arma 2 OA installer (also having BAF+PMC DLCs in it) from my Arma X retail box.

But my version is coming up as 1.59.xx95 (dont remember xx :| )

So, can I apply the v.1.60 update directly? or should I install the arma 2 patch v.1.11 first and then install v.1.60 patch?

Also, I got to see this error message just at the end of installing disc 4 (disc for OA 3-in-1 installer):http://i46.tinypic.com/2co61pe.png (215 kB)

Is it normal?

UPDATE: I saw this and now i got it :D

but ssup with the error message(in the screenshot above)? :|

Regards,

I just installed ArmA 2 and Operation Arrowhead from the Steam store. When I attempt to launch them, they both come up with errors preventing launch:

ArmA 2:

"Data file too short 'c:\program files(x86)\steam\steamapps\common\arma 2\addons.pbo'.

Expected 853343647 B, got 660602880 B"

Operation Arrowhead:

"No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgInGameUI/MPTable.shadow'."

and

"Data file too short 'c:\program files(x86)\steam\steamapps\common\arma 2\addons.pbo'.

Expected 853343647 B, got 660602880 B"

If anyone is familiar with how to resolve these issues, help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I've checked that my laptop meets the minimum requirements for this game, but the install wizard stalls during downloading from the disk.

Does anyone have a solution to this issue? Perhaps it's been discussed on a different thread.... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I recently bought Arma 2 from Amazon today, and i fully downloaded Arma 2 & Operation Arrowhead. As I was installing, it asked for a CD-Key. I downloaded the game straight from Amazon, so I didn't get the actual game. It says find it in the back of my field manual. But i don't know if i even have one. Can someone please help me out with downloading!

Presumably you should have received your CD key in an email from Amazon, we have nothing to do with them or their distribution system so I can only suggest you contact them directly.

Just browse the sticky topics on this very same troubleshooting forum and you'll find the answer !

When I try to open Arma 2: Combined Operations it just opens a window with lines of code then disappears, and the game doesnt open. Also, when I try to open Arma 2: Arrowhead it comes up with 2 errors:

1. Error with bin\Config.bin/CfgInGameUI/MPTable.shadow

2. Error compiling pixel shader PSSpecularAlpha:0

Should I try to download Arrowhead again or does anyone have anyother method of fixing this as its preventing me from playing DayZ?

Edit 1: just read the post above

Hello

I am re installimh ARMAII on a refomatted re installed WIN7 pc as I got the BSOD with win7.

I get multiple CRC file errors for 20 of the *.pbo files. I got the same error with the file ilj15.dll, then the message, "Setup encountered an error. Application may not work properly". The install files came from store.bistudio. I direclty downloaded the files and then downloaded them via sprocket from the CA and IL mirrors. Three times in all.

Same instal errors.

What is going wrong?

It sounds like a corrupt download you're saying you've tried both manually downloading the files as well as using Sprocket to download them? You can check your files by using Quickpar and this par file, should end up like so:

Edit: Here's the OA par

Which should end up like so:

I did that and all files came up green and so I reinstalled and perfect. I'm thinking I have not used the new downloads, just an old corrupt one (shakes head)
