Well I tried everything again and when run with "ArmA2OA.exe" i only get three icons in the lower left of screen which are the OA icon, British icon, and Private Military icon. But it says "arma 2" on the right where it lists all the mods loaded. I then checked the editor and all of the islands from arma 2 are there and the game seems to run fine so I believe it is running Combined Operations. I was just use to running the game from _runArma2CO.cmd which would run a quick program prior to loading and then in the lower right corner would show the four icons of arma 2, OA, British, and PMC but also shows arma 2 listed on the right side where the mods are listed. This way I knew I was running Combined Operations. But I guess I don't need to do this and six updater doesn't load the mods if done this way. Anyway thanks for the great utility! it does make everything easier.

Well that was an easy fix. Thanks for the help! one last question if you don't mind. Six Updater detected the ArmA2OA.exe file and launched with no problem but it does not show the Arma2 icon in the bottom left of the game which it does show if launched using the _runArma2CO.cmd file. So if I just launch with the Arma2OA.exe file am I still running Combined Operations? (one last thing to note: it does show Arma2 listed in the mods list on the right side of screen.) Probably another stupid question but still trying to figure everything out. Thanks Again!

Hello, Just to start I just purchased Arma 2 CO from steam and am new to both the game and six updater. I loaded the game as directed (i.e. run steam admin, load arma 2, then arma oa, etc...). Then when start six updater on bottom of screen in red it says A2 op. Arrowhead (Combined Ops) 0.0.0 then the path next to it is red (obviously wrong) and get log message: 10:26:10: Auto Synchronizing 10:26:36: You seem to be running an old game version, latest: 1.60.0.87580 (Your version: 0.0.0), please get game update at: http://www.arma2.com/index.php?Itemid=20&option=com_rokdownloads&view=folder〈=en 10:26:36: There's a beta available with higher version number: 1.60.0.88738 (Your version: 0.0.0), you can grab it at: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php 10:26:36: Cannot find game exe: C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/arma 2 operation arrowhead/arma2oaserver.exe 10:26:45: Initialization Complete there is no arma2oaserver.exe in my OA folder and If i try launching game with that the game will not launch and get error message in log. so then I manually changed the exe path. And when I changed it to the "_runA2CO.cmd" the game launches in Combined Operations but no mods are loaded. I then changed it to the "ArmA2OA.exe" and the game launches in Operation Arrowhead with the mods. my question I guess is am I doing this right? How do I get Combined Ops to launch from six updater with the mods I have loaded in the preset? Any help appreciated, Thanks...

Jedra, Thanks for the video! I got it to work but had to manualy set the correct path to the exe file but it is not loading the mods. IS there something I have to manually set to load the mods? Right now I have the exe path set to "_runA2CO.cmd" which launches arma2 CO but no mods load. If I set it to "ArmA2OA.exe" it doesn't launch as Arma2 CO but it loads the mods. any suggestions? please PM me so as not to take the thread off topic. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. IceBreakr, I checked the Lingor Units folder and that file is already in there so Am I getting that error message in error? Everything should work ok or is there something else I have to do. (thanks for you great work by the way) Jedra, I'm having a little trouble figuring out how exactly to use the six updater and for the life of me can't figure out how to launch Arma2:CO through the six updater.

I am new to arma 2 and just downloaded Island of Lingor from six updater but when I start Arma2 i get an error stating "addon ibr_lingor needs addon ibr_Icivilian_patch". I searched the forum and the only thing i could find was that you also needed Lingor Units which six updater also downloaded. When I go into the Lingor Units folder there is a ibr_Icivilians.pbo but no ibr_civilian_patch. What do I do from here? any suggestions or anyone have the same problem? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks by the way I'm running Arma2:CO through steam

Thanks guys, I checked and have all those maps loaded so I guess I did everything right!

Purchased Arma 2, Arma 2 OA, British and PC on Steam. Installed according to directions. Then launched Arma 2 CO but there is no way to tell if it is running CO. There are no splash screens or anything that says CO. Should there be or is there any other way to tell you are running CO? I checked the expansion list and it shows Arma 2 OA, British, PC, and two Arma 2s and everything has a green box next to them. Is that right? ] Any help appreciated, Thanks!

I bought the game today too from steam and have the exact same problem. I first downloaded Arma 2 and ran the game once (no problems). Then I downloaded Arma 2:OA and tried to run it once and got the same arror messages as Zulthus. I then tried to choose the run Aram 2: CO option and a small black box appeared and ran something then disappeared and nothing after that. Any help would be appreciated as I cant figure out a fix. Thank You one other thing I went back and tried arma 2 and runs fine. I also did a file integrity check on steam and said missing 1 file, then it said it downloaded it, but still same problem. ****UPDATE**** updating to latest AMD drivers through steam solved the problem.

I hate to sound stupid but I downloaded the Direct9x file and went to install. During installation it asks for a destination, do I install it into the arma2 directory or somewhere else. Thanks in advance for any help.

is there a problem with the ACEMod update check program. I have ACE version 1.07 but when I try and run the update check program I get this message "Redirection failed, Site Down? www.acemod.net/d_arma_z317504824.php?d=/" I've been trying it now for a couple of days and same message every time. Thanks for any assistance

I just wanted to THANK the ACE mod team! I think it is great and has got me playing Arma again. Just one question: Â I don't want to sound like a stupid American, but could there be an option to displays weights in pounds instead of Kilograms. Â I just can't (quickly) comprehend how much I'm carrying using the Kilograms. Â (I know a very small detail and probably not worth your time) Â Thanks again for the great mod! THANKS gsleighter that helps out a lot and easier than I thought. Pounds are basically double to a Kilogram......

got it, thanks

is this MP or SP mission?

Sorry but I'm new to adding mods, I think I get the map addons but where do I place the folders and files for opxbuildings, opxplants, opxroads, opxmisc, and the public key folder? Thank You in advance for any help Thank You for the responses, got it working!
