I have this problem too. Had 1.60 and updated to 1.62, tried to launch the game - got this error. No dsound.dll or jayarma2lib.dll files were in my ArmA 2 folder - I've tried updating DirectX, no effect. Deleted savegames, removed modfolders (I only use mods in modfolders), config files. I'm really desperate. I have NON-STEAM VERSION. Arma X Anniversary Edition. Have not installed any beta patches at all. Somehow managed to get it running by using some startup parameters and its showing correct version (1.62.something), but when I look into video options, ATOC and PPAA boxes are empty, and when I click it, it shows few options beggining with "MISSING STRING...". What should I do?
I run CO.
My default starting parameters (used with 1.60)
"C:\Hry\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2oa.exe" -world=empty -nosplash -mod=@CBA;@PerformanceBoosts;@SmallAddons;@ASR_AI
Specs:
System: Win 7 Ultimate SP1
CPU: i5-2380p
GPU: GTX 670
RAM: 8GB DDR3
Edit: Did a clean reinstall, started the game and no errors. Now I'll return the mods back and try it again.
Edit: Deleted ShackTak FT hud mod, oktane's no blur mod and sap clutter mod, then returned the remaining addons. No problems.
