Interestingly enough, I realized as much today - I do, in fact, have A2:CO functional. The splash screen and logo still say AO, but I can run A2 campaigns from it. So, while steam won't recognize CO, the standalone .exe does. for some reason, i thought this was supposed to make steam recognize CO. i would have preferred that, because then i wouldn't have to do this "integration" kabuki dance on every machine i may use. but... it works. so whatever

ok... in order, this is everything i've done: - downloaded and installed steam's A2. played it. - downloaded and installed amazon's OA. played it. - downloaded and ran _runA2CO_nonSteamOA.cmd; it auto-opened OA. closed OA, opened A2 in steam... still not A2:CO. - found registry error (Arma 2 OA link in MAIN key pointed to "Arma 2" instead of "Arma 2 OA") - fixed registry (MAIN links in Wow6432Node and in SOFTWARE all point to the right places) - opened my amazon copy of OA; works. - opened my steam copy of A2; works. - re-ran _runA2CO_nonSteamOA.cmd in the appropriate folder. it didn't automatically open OA this time. fine. - opened steam copy of A2; still just A2, not A2:CO. argh. i'm seeing a lot of people fixing this by using fourth-party "launcher" programs. i don't want to do that - i want steam to recognize that i have A2:CO. thanks for the help.

just wanted to say thanks for the help, dwarden (i'm sch177uck on the steam forums). since this thread has gotten so long, i posted up another question on that same steam forum thread (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1673497). if i got things right i'll post here too, to consolidate help for windows 7/32-bit folks.

Just bought the amazon OA, already have the steam Arma2. the OA installer found the steam install files, and installed the OA files accordingly. if i open A2 in steam, however, i can't access the OA campaign. i can access the A2 AND OA campaigns if i open the OA .exe file in the "steamapps" folder. i tried verifying file integrity through steam (read that was a fix), and it finishes properly, but i still can't access OA if i open A2 through steam. how do i properly integrate non-steam OA w/ steam A2? thanks in advance matt ---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ---------- also, after steam's file integration didn't work, i patched OA to 1.57. still no luck.
