Can any one please recommend a working sound mod that does not require CBA? JSRS crashes without CBA , and the server i play on doesnt allow CBA. So i need something other than JSRS. Thanks!

The Sound Mod crashes Often without CBA. I only play Capture the Island. The WASP server doesnt allow CBA , so the Mod crashes frequently. Can anything be done about this , or can some one recommend me a sound mod that doesnt require CBA that still works? Thanks.

Arma II Launches Fine. However , when i try and Launch Arma:OA , i get a few problems stating that i have entered the wrong serial number or something cant load. I go to Launch Private military company i get : Can't find Arma 2:OA serieal number in registry How do i get my Arma 2 : OA serial number into the registry? Windows 7 64 Bit lates patches. ---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ---------- Some how this problem fixed itself. Hm.

I have had this game for a while .. i have bought all the Arma games. All the sudden i get an "Error in creating direct 3D9 Graphical Engine" I try to apply the beta patch and i get WRONG CD KEY. WTF? I have purchased the fucking game. All of them .. all the expansions. What the hell is going on. I am having to launch from Arma II Launcher v 1.4.0.0 for combined operations or use the script. The launcher makes it easier to use mods with. How do you get the wrong CD KEY on steam .. when it is automatic.

Any way my problem i cant launch the game without the beta patch. When i go to run the cmd file for combined ops in the OA file , it works fine and launches the game from steam , but as my early problem stated with Windows 7 problem , it wont launch past the steam loading box. It however will with the Beta patch , how would i get the cmd file to launch from the beta patch so i can run combined ops. ---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ---------- I figured it out , had to download the run cmd for beta.

Ok now , im getting the Blue Screen of death with the run cmd beta file. When i am playin non Combined Ops games for over 15 minutes? is this normal or is it a known problem?

Keeps saying i am missing CAWheeled2_BTR90, warfare2vehicles.... I mean what the crap. Its getting aggervating , i have the BAF and the OA games installed. both integrity checks are clear while i am trying to join a Capture the Island Warfare server. I dont play anything besides warfare ,and i can only play on like two servers on warfare because i keep getting that stupid missing file , its driving me nuts. Can some one tell me whats going on. ---------- Post added at 04:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ---------- http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=101214 i just read that post.. i could care less about combined ops i just want to play OA not arma 2. Arma 2 is old news for me , is there a way i can get into these Combined Ops servers without have to reinstall Arma 2....... a waste of time. ---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ---------- What ever , im reinstalling it , freakin worthless 7 gigs to get freakin 2 vehicles in the damn game. BI what were you thinking.............. if its a stand alone expansion , make it standalone...... not where you have to have 7 gigs on your system so you can have two vehicles to work in your expansion.

Beta worked. Installed the beta launched from the Beta launcher

Game ran fine on vista. I just put a fresh copy of windows 7 in , full reformat. Now i go to start the game. It wont start , says launching game , then it shows my mouse with the circle around it then , i see it in process than it goes away and nothing comes up..... Not sure what to do. Any ideas? Windows 7 Home Premium 64 ..... Running the game with Steam.

I installed the latest Beta...it worked..

Any one else willing to take a shot? I would really like to play the game

Only thing i saw ws URL steam://rungameid/33930

There is no target line. I just looked under them like i did vista and no target line.

Ill try it out in a moment. Game is at 98%. I did the path test and windows c was listed under there. If it doesnt work i will still try his solution , thanks for finding it for me. I just reinstalled the entire game , still a no go. I am trying to accomplish what he said to do , but i ran a compat check on the cmd file and this is what i got after a fresh install http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/128/yupyup.png I just tried what he did still a no go. I dont understand brand new operating system fresh install of the game twice , still a no launch.

Still nothing , steam says all files are working fine. ---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ---------- Firewall is green across the board. Trying to run as admin , still nothing. Guess ill just try and reinstall , dont see how it will do anything considering all the files were normal

Roger that Dwarden , thanks for the response , also love the tracers , good job BIS.

ETA on AI pathing fix? For Vehicles?

Can some one get a hold of him and tell him several people are having problems with the Sound Mod Keys not working with the servers. It keeps telling us to install additional keys , Capture the Island Warfare lite is what is being used. I have talked to 3 other people with the same problem and its just out of the blue , we are using the beta patches.

Roger that Suma you pretty much shut me up :) , now the pathing needs to be checked so i can sit in the commander seat and watch TV while the AI drives :P lol key kat , thats why im doing this so maybe it will save me a few push ups and the Instructor making me feel like im the scum of the Earth :P

You dont understand the slope of these hills :) Im talking 20 degree slopes maybe 26 28 degree , you dont stop to walk up it. We have a 50 degree incline i am running now with 3 45 pound weights in my ruck (getting in shape for Ranger School *Crosses Fingers*) i live in Mississippi where it is actually hotter here than in the desert (Feels like it) 95-103 on average with 70-90% humidity constantly lol , its not that hard to run up the hill now. i can run up it 17 times , not including the jog down before the burn takes over. I just think the walk takes over a little early :) ---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ---------- Maybe a little lower than 50 45ish i havnt acctually measured it , just eye balled it.

Hey BIS , i thought i would come on here and post since you guys do read this area of the forums. I would really like to have the AI improved , i am very proud of you guys for this release , i have very good performance and NO CTDS!!!! I am so happy i play the game all the time. but! If i tell my AI to drive they do good 40% of the time , they seem to swirve on the road for some reason but there is no reason but they dont do it as often if you put them on SAFE and Column Compact. Also when you let the AI drive or tell them go to a location they take off road paths. I really wish there was an option to tell the AI to stay on the road because some times they take cross country trips. When it takes 15 20 minutes to get to the other side of the map , your wrist tend to get annoyed from resting on the desk :) Also , a thing i have noticed is going up hills , is very slow and doesnt seem very realistic. 12 MPH (Notice a tank with a jet engine in the back of it lol!) seems a bit slow to me. Also running up hills , in real life you would dig your hills down and push up the hill when running , slowing down to a walk while getting shot at , isnt very fun , specially when you get pegged in the kidneys :). Just some things to look at if possible.

Have a guy on the Cold Hearted server in capture the island named Wewt. We cant kick him , when you press I you can see him , when you press P you cant. So we cant kick him we has free rain. This needs to be looked into asap , its ruining the game , he joined the biggest server and kills everyone. With no consequence. ---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 PM ---------- http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/9468/arma2oa2010071018260503.png Not sure how this works , but wewt cant be seen in game , i saw James leave , but wewt i havnt seen him join or leave.

Worked on banning his guide thanks a lot

Problem. Fresh install from steam , checked integreity of file , turned off fire wall. Windows Vista 64 bit lastest install. Cannot Open File 'Expansion/addons/air_e.pbo' What do i do ? I cant launch the game ---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 PM ---------- Ok , i deleted the BPO and the air_e file , and i am reinstalling both files if that doesnt work , i ll launch Arma 2 and hope i can play Arma OA from there lol . Until i get a response that is. :) FIXED , all i did is went in deleted the file that gave me the error message along with its BPO , did an integrity check (reinstalled the files) and wallah , it works. So if your having a problem with files , just delete and reinstall it :)

Game runs smoother , load smoother on the battlefield , but i still get the random CTDs for no reason , not warning no error message , just shuts down even when im getting a steady 42 FPS and no glitches , just closes down. Im not being mean or anything , but PLEASE god release operation arrowhead in a ready state and i have my fingers crossed that the game wont crash like this one does. Please please please release a decently ready game , every single company that has released a game in the past two years have half assed it , please do this one right. :/
