    you downloaded and installed the beta patch successfully? did you check if the beta folder is present in your steam OA\expansion folder?

    just checked the .cmd from dwarden is different now

    :uac_PATH_A2
@FOR /F "tokens=2* delims=	 " %%A IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2" /v MAIN') DO SET ARMA2PATH=%%B

IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO std_PATH_A2
IF ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO uac_PATH_A2OA

:std_PATH_A2
@FOR /F "tokens=2* delims=	 " %%C IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2" /v MAIN') DO SET ARMA2PATH=%%D
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO ENDfailA2
IF ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO uac_PATH_A2OA

:uac_PATH_A2OA
@FOR /F "tokens=2* delims=	 " %%E IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA" /v MAIN') DO SET ARMA2OAPATH=%%F

IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO uac_PATH_A2OA
IF ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO RUN

:std_PATH_A2OA
@FOR /F "tokens=2* delims=	 " %%G IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA" /v MAIN') DO SET ARMA2OAPATH=%%H

IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO ENDfailA2OA
IF ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO RUN

:run
"%ARMA2OAPATH%\EXPANSION\BETA\ARMA2OA.exe" "-mod=%ARMA2PATH%;%ARMA2OAPATH%\EXPANSION;ca;%ARMA2OAPATH%\EXPANSION\BETA;EXPANSION\BETA\EXPANSION" "-nosplash" "-exThreads=7"

:end
@exit

:ENDfailA2

    mods go into your main OA directory

    lets say @CBA looks like this

    :run
"%ARMA2OAPATH%\EXPANSION\BETA\ARMA2OA.exe" "-mod=@CBA;%ARMA2PATH%;%ARMA2OAPATH%\EXPANSION;ca;%ARMA2OAPATH%\EXPANSION\BETA;EXPANSION\BETA\EXPANSION"

    i dont know if there are mods that depend on loading arma2 and OA stuff first, but if thats the case i looks alot worse then it is already

    :run
"%ARMA2OAPATH%\EXPANSION\BETA\ARMA2OA.exe" "-mod=%ARMA2PATH%;%ARMA2OAPATH%\EXPANSION;ca;%ARMA2OAPATH%\EXPANSION\BETA;EXPANSION\BETA\EXPANSION;%ARMA2OAPATH%\@CBA"

    Dwarden is there any possibility to make a batchfile that searches for your arma2 install and merges the nessecary files to your OA installation? Or let us browse to arma2 install folder manually inside the expansion menu in the main menu of OA? Would be a nicer solution then this batchfile for users who own arma2 and oa on steam. or give steam a third option to download combined arms as a standalone if you own arma2 and oa on steam.

    As it is now it causes problems to run beta patches combined with custom mods.

    1) Grab the file from the first post http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=101214

    2) Grab the newest Beta Patch http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php

    3) Install the beta Patch

    4) Put the batch file from the .zip into your steam OA folder

    5) make a copy of the batch file and name it something like ARMA2 OA - Beta

    6) edit that file and replace 

    :run
"%ARMA2OAPATH%\ARMA2OA.exe" "-mod=%ARMA2PATH%;%ARMA2OAPATH%\EXPANSION;ca"

    with

    :run
"%ARMA2OAPATH%\EXPANSION\BETA\ARMA2OA.exe" "-mod=%ARMA2PATH%;%ARMA2OAPATH%\EXPANSION;ca;%ARMA2OAPATH%\EXPANSION\BETA;EXPANSION\BETA\EXPANSION"

    7) ...

    8) PROFIT!!!
