Alright so this is for my friend who bought Arma 2: Combined Operations off of Steam. I have re-downloaded both of them for him three times now. At the moment I can play only Arma 2. When I go to play Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead it says "Failed to contact key server", when I go to re-install battleye it says the exact same thing, when I go to run Arma 2: Combined Operations it says the same thing as well. He has Six Launcher already downloaded and even when he had both downloaded before we downloaded them again it said "Bad serial number given in setup".
Is there a fix for this?
I looked around and these are the steps I tried for him.
- Run steam as administrator.
- Exit steam and re-open
- re-install combined operations
- verify integrity of game cache (even though on both arma 2 and arrowhead it said something about a file missing, but I tried this same thing on my copy and I got the same result and I can play and run DayZ)
- I have also tried running OA from the .exe and when I do so I get the .bniconfig error???WTF!!
????????????
Is there a way to fix this or am I missing something? I have re-installed this for my friend almost 5 times and nothing is working. He bought the game yesterday August 9,2012 and we tried it again this morning and were still getting the same errors?
Thanks.
