Hi, first time posting on here. I can't find a suitable answer/solution, having looked on here, Steam (where I have also posted this query) and Google searches. Can anyone please help?
I purchased the ArmA X: Anniversary Edition some 6 years ago, when it was a sale offer, on Steam. It is a while since I last played it, and I thought I'd re-install it over the weekend.
In the past I only played the Gold Edition, and had the odd foray into ArmA 2, as well as playing around about a bit with the Editor; all fine and no probs.
However, this time round I decided to just install ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead and British Armed Forces. Now the problems begin:
1) When I try to start BAF, I'm told that I don't have an activation key?
2) With OA, I am unable to load any saves and a window pops up saying: "You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted." It then went to show a very long list of things.
I then thought that perhaps it needs all the games in the Anniversary Edition to be installed, so I have done that, but still it will not load saves?
The message window now says: "You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted. ca_missions_acr, woodland_acr, bootcamp_acr, mountains_acr" - The list is cinsiderably less than before, but I am still confused?
Also, I still cannot load up BAF, due to no activation key?
Has anyone got any ideas, please?

BAF is now loading ok; at the time of this upodate, still unable to load saves on OA though.
