This is very strange indeed. I have the Metaboli.fr downloaded version of the German game, everything downloaded and installed successfully, including starforce. However, when I attempt to launch, the small window with the boxes that get checked pops up and checks off, but nothing happens. The arma process still runs in task manager hogging about 40 megs of memory, but no matter how long I wait the actual game never pops up. My soundcard, GPU and chipset drivers are all up to date.
