Hey everyone,
Alright how do I begin. I have ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead purchased on steam, purely because I wanted to play DayZ (I'm surely not going to be the first). I went through the procedure of aquiring SixUpdater etc, installing files, replacing stuff. It was a month or two ago from this date so I honestly can't provide you with a clear description on the process I undertook, but in the end I got DayZ working. After two weeks I got bored of it, and prefered base/vanilla ArmA 2: OA much more due to its.. well it's just amazing. Now for some reason the campaigns don't work while DayZ is installed, so I figured; easy fix, just uninstall Dayz. The developer for DayZ has gone through a lot of effort to manage the installation process, but not the uninstallation process. There is no executable file associated with the safe removal of the mod, so I ended up googling and coming up with the solution of developing the @DayZ folder.
I did so, and then tried to play vanilla ArmA again. Without any result, it continues to give me a bug to do this day associated with the campaign name 'str.ew1.chernarus' (I'll include an illustration of my progress through screenshots to reveal what I'm actually doing). If I attempt to select a different campaign, for example, Operation Arrowhead, I can click it, then click 'Continue', but it'll automatically send me to 'EW', and to 'str_ew1.Chernarus'. I cannot even load that campaign because it gives me the error, 'error in campaign structure'. So I'm at a loss for every single thing I try to do with ArmA at this point. Sucks. I figured it may have been due to beta mod, or the beta expansion, but I honestly have no idea at this point. Google hasn't cleared up anything with me regarding this issue so I feel like I'm the unluckiest person in the world.
Here are the screenshots associated to my progression, and how it continues to be mean to me:
1. The game loads fine, I click Campaign.

2. Upon entering the Campaign menu, the game automatically sets me to 'EW' for me to continue.

3. I click Operation Arrowhead, and press continue.

4. Upon clicking continue, it sends me into the 'EW' menu.

5. And when attempting to load it (which is the only thing I can physically do), I get the error.
I've reinstalled Arma 2:OA multiple times without any result. If someone gives me the guidance I need to fix this problem I'll forever be in your debt.

Travis.
