    Start steam as admin

    Get to DLC page for ACR

    Should say play since youve already bought it

    hit play choose ACR

    then it will install and there will be a folder, i was having the same exact issue no folder for ACR, now there is.

    for some reason ACR doesnt show up as DLC for Arrowhead? But does for regular ARMA II.

    remarkable, I thought steam would work on an admin account even if you aren't running it as admin, which I assumed it would be?

    I actually found that after the DLC downloaded it failed to install properly and it was necessary to exit steam and then start it again but running it as administrator - I'm on Windows 7. Even then I found that it would work if I ran Operation Arrowhead but if I tried Combined Ops I had to nominate ACR as a mod to get it to show up using the method above.

    Basically if you start vanilla Operation Arrowhead from within Steam and you don't see the new ACR expansion logo next to the others I believe it hasn't installed correctly. You can also check for the presence of a new campaign called Silver Lion.

    Cheers

    Well all the BAF and PMC dlcs have extra folders with an addon folder and other boring shit, however ACR does not. I don't know how but I don't think the installer did anything. How can I force ACR to install?

    you need to add @acr to the mod list with your shortcut or run the game as vanilla without any mods at all.

    OK, well how do I do that? Do I just move the ACR folder into the Arma 2 operation arrowhead folder and call it @acr?

    My mate told me to put in -mod=@acr but it didn't work.

    Where is the mod list* and how do I put @acr in it?**

    I bought ARMA 2 and Arma 2 OA off steam and then later on I bought all three DLCs, the BAF, the PMC and now the ACR dlc. Except the ACR dlc doesn't seem to appear at all. I ran it on OA and CO but no luck, after that I deleted all of my mods out of the folder and then tried with still no luck. After that I reinstalled the entire Operation Arrowhead game with all dlcs. It appeared to have been downloaded and the ACR folder was still within the DLCsetup folder. (IS THAT THE RIGHT PLACE?) Still I have no luck with getting the dlc to work.

    Is this something that needs to be fixed in the arma 2 files or do I need to reinstall arma 2 as well because of the DayZ mod? (I think I may have fixed my own problem.)
