I downloaded Arma 2 and OA through Steam. I followed all the instructions to install dayz. When i try and launch Co, It opens in notepad with this as the context: SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS :v64_path_a2 For /F "Tokens=2* skip=2" %%A In ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2" /v "MAIN"') Do (set _ARMA2PATH=%%B) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2PATH (GOTO v32_path_a2) ELSE (GOTO v64_path_a2oa) :v32_path_a2 For /F "Tokens=2* skip=2" %%C In ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2" /v "MAIN"') Do (set _ARMA2PATH=%%D) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2PATH (GOTO uac_PATH_A2) ELSE (GOTO v64_path_a2oa) :uac_PATH_A2 FOR /F "tokens=2* delims= " %%I IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2" /v "MAIN"') DO (SET _ARMA2PATH=%%J) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2PATH (GOTO std_PATH_A2) ELSE (GOTO v64_path_a2oa) :std_PATH_A2 FOR /F "tokens=2* delims= " %%K IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2" /v "MAIN"') DO (SET _ARMA2PATH=%%L) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2PATH (GOTO ENDfailA2) ELSE (GOTO v64_path_a2oa) :v64_path_a2oa For /F "Tokens=2* skip=2" %%E In ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA" /v "MAIN"') Do (set _ARMA2OAPATH=%%F) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2OAPATH (GOTO v32_path_a2oa) ELSE (GOTO RUN) :v32_path_a2oa For /F "Tokens=2* skip=2" %%G In ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA" /v "MAIN"') Do set (_ARMA2OAPATH=%%H) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2OAPATH (GOTO uac_PATH_A2OA) ELSE (GOTO RUN) :uac_PATH_A2OA FOR /F "tokens=2* delims= " %%M IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA" /v "MAIN"') DO (SET _ARMA2OAPATH=%%N) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2OAPATH (GOTO std_PATH_A2OA) ELSE (GOTO RUN) :std_PATH_A2OA FOR /F "tokens=2* delims= " %%O IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA" /v "MAIN"') DO (SET _ARMA2OAPATH=%%P) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2OAPATH (GOTO ENDfailA2OA) ELSE (GOTO RUN) :run :v64_path_steam For /F "Tokens=2* skip=2" %%Q In ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Valve\Steam" /v "InstallPath"') Do (set _STEAMPATH=%%R) IF NOT DEFINED _STEAMPATH (GOTO v32_path_steam) ELSE (GOTO runs) :v32_path_steam For /F "Tokens=2* skip=2" %%S In ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Valve\Steam" /v "InstallPath"') Do (set _STEAMPATH=%%T) IF NOT DEFINED _STEAMPATH (GOTO uac_path_steam) ELSE (GOTO runs) :uac_path_steam FOR /F "tokens=2* delims= " %%U IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Valve\Steam" /v "InstallPath"') DO (SET _STEAMPATH=%%V) IF NOT DEFINED _STEAMPATH (GOTO std_path_steam) ELSE (GOTO runs) :std_path_steam FOR /F "tokens=2* delims= " %%W IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Valve\Steam" /v "InstallPath"') DO (SET _STEAMPATH=%%X) IF NOT DEFINED _STEAMPATH (GOTO ENDfailSteam) ELSE (GOTO runs) :runs "%_STEAMPATH%\steam.exe" -applaunch 33930 "-mod=%_ARMA2PATH%;EXPANSION;ca" ENDLOCAL :end exit /B 0 :ENDfailA2 exit /B 1 :ENDfailA2OA exit /B 2 :ENDfailSteam exit /B 3 I have also tried running the _runA2CO.cmd and it results in the same things.

I deleted everything on my PC related to Arma 2. Re-downloaded it. And still it won't work. :( Do you think buying the real game will fix it? EDIT: Do you think it may be AVG interfering? I have disabled AVG but someone was telling me that AVG processes still run in the background.

Alright i tried opening the port. Didnt fix it, so i don't think it's a network issue. I did download it via steam, then uninstalled it and installed via a non-steam version. How can i do a clean uninstall of Arma 2 so i can start over. I'm thinking some game files may b corrupt. Yes i did launch the game as admin. I launched Steam as admin i tried running the game in compatibilities for Vista(sp1, sp2). I still cant fix it.

Yes i can play single player fine. I bypassed my router and i still have the issue. I disabled AVG and Windows Firewall. I've tried running it as Admin, in different compatibilities, etc. So port 2302 is the only port i should open?

Alright well. If i join an empty server, i can select my team (instead of my name being grayed out, its blue) but does nothing when i hit ok. If i join a server with people in it, i get the issue mentioned in this thread. If its a router/port issue what ports do i need to open? here is my rpt http://www.mediafire.com/?n20o0d2o1zucbaj

I have A2F only.

Still having the issue. Where is the game suppose to ask me for my product key? Would buying a retail copy fix this issue? (I have the Steam version)

I got the CD key but the game never asked for the key or i just dont know how to activate it.

To make a long story Short, i downloaded Arma 2 via the website and installed it. It never asked me for a Product key. Well i began having issues (listed below) so I downloaded Arma 2 through Steam (Free version) to see if that would fix the issues. When i launch the game, steam gives me the product key. Yet i dont know when/where to enter it. I believe that may be causing my issues in MP which are.... 1).I connect to a server and i cannot choose a team, someone has to add me to the teams manually. 2.) after about 2 minutes or so i get the "session lost" message and get disconnected. How can i fix these? Im also having other issues such as if i dont get disconnected the game says "receiving mission files 0kb/0kb" and just sits there. System Specs (if this is of any help): AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE @ 3.2Ghz AMD Radeon HD 6850 4GB Ram Windows 7 32bit Current Arma 2 version: 1.10 I'm trying to join my friends and they all have either OA or CO. Is that the issue? They say they arent launching OA or CO but the vanilla Arma 2. EDIT: I tried activating the product key via steam and it tells me the key is invalid. I don't think it is my ports as i can connect to the "host/server". I can play other games just fine. I have tried disabling windows firewall and AVG resident shield and still no luck. If it's my router's firewall what ports do i need to open/allow and where can i go to help figure out how to configure my router for arma 2?
