[resolved] updating operation arrowhead from 1.51 to 1.59 WRONG CD KEY

[[resolved] updating operation arrowhead from 1.51 to 1.59 WRONG CD KEY]

ok so I got home and tried again with the 1.57 patch.

this still did not work. came up with the "WRONG CD KEY" message.

I then googled around a bit and came across some french dude with a fix.

He said if you modify the key in

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA]

and change the hex at the end and try running patch it should work.

I did this and tried again with the 1.59 patch and as you can see its getting further.

as I write this it is updating so I will return shortly to tell you if this method has suceeded.

yay! it worked

tested it online with a few servers and no moaning about my key so I guess that french guys solution did the trick.

hmmm maybe you should hire him! ;)

now if you excuse me i'll pay more money now for reinforcements...

for those wanting to know what his solution was I went to

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA]

changed the last two digits of the hex key to B7

then I saved it and tried patch but still did not work.

I changed the hex key again back to C8

ran the patch and it worked.

Can you write me on PM all digits on your hex key? i have this problem too
