Thanks for the amazing map, Chill! Just drove 4+km using an ATV, the map looks and plays great!

I edited this line of _runA2CO.cmd "%_STEAMPATH%\steam.exe" -applaunch 33930 "-mod=%_ARMA2PATH%;EXPANSION;ca" to read "%_STEAMPATH%\steam.exe" -applaunch 33930 "-window -nosplash -nofilepatching -showscripterrors -mod=%_ARMA2PATH%;EXPANSION;ca;@ACE;@ACEX;@ACEX_SM;@CBA;@RTE;@SIX;@sthud;@FDF_Podagorsk;@FRAN_quesh_kibrul;@Kulima" and it still hangs on the steam screen "Preparing to launch..."

@MJK-Ranger you're going to have to be abit more specific than that...if you're talking about editing _runA2CO.cmd then technically yeah that would work but that's way too complicated for most people...plus all that registry stuff might screw mine up cause I never had trouble with the way my games are registered. _runA2CO.cmd doesn't work for me anyway, the game hangs on startup.

So what happens when we run out of space in our launch options for startup parameters? Currently my launch options for OA are: -window -nosplash -nofilepatching -showscripterrors "-mod=C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2;C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\EXPANSION;ca;@ACE;@ACEX;@ACEX_SM;@CBA;@RTE;@SIX;@sthud" If I want to use any other mods, I cannot, because if I try to enter anything else it gets truncated. There is a finite amount of space for startup parameters in both steam launch options window and in shortcut target box. If anyone knows a way around this, please let me know, thanks.

This. Please sort this ASAP BI. As it stands now, managing mods and joining modded servers is a nightmare.

The supposed "fix" released for Combined Ops on Steam does not properly integrate the two game installations, all it does is start up OA with arma 2 as an expansion. This does nothing to resolve the issues people have trying to run the steam version with mods. The Steam version of OA does NOT allow the user to specify the installation directory (it automatically installs OA in its own directory regardless of whether and where Arma 2 is installed), so as it stands now it is impossible to install Combined Ops properly from Steam. You have released a broken product; this needs sorting ASAP. (OA should automatically install in the Arma 2 directory if it exists.)
