As the person who started this topic, may I make the following points? Firstly, .kju, please read my post #28 as if you were BI & NOT yourself. It was aimed at them & not you. Secondly, I expected the answer to my very first post about this problem to come from BI. Something like " BI are aware of this problem & a patch will be issued soon. In the meantime, please try the following......." I certainly appreciate your efforts, but wondered why no official response - hence my frustration. Thirdly, there is absolutely no mention in the V1.06 update on the BI website that Rearmed is not a BI product. Again I would have expected something along the lines of " V1.06 is an official BI update. However, Rearmed is NOT a BI mod and any queries regarding this should be addressed to the BI Games Forum in the TOH troubleshooting section & NOT to BI" This should have been made clear & then most of this thread would have not been necessary. The fact that you were responsible for this mod is a credit to yourself & I thank you for all your hard work. Since EagleEye now has Rearmed working using your modline I shall be trying this as soon as I can. Regards, ChrisD

I've not had time to have a go at the modline yet I can't comment. My post is about a basic query - why should .kju & others even have to answer problems like this? Why is BI not sorting this out? Since there are at least 2 of us with this snag, how many others are there that haven't posted? What about the people who have bought the programs & do not know of the existence of this site? What about people who do not like entering modlines ( I count myself among them) or who are not familiar with even basic programming? BI must have sold ARMAII & TOH at least for people to want to use Rearmed. What about the people like me who want to buy Hind to use in ARMAII - but can't because of this problem? BI are losing out both from goodwill & sales. Come on - get this problem sorted out!! ChrisD

I am very glad that someone else has exactly the same problem as me with Rearmed & TOH. Can I just clarify this launcher mention? I use a launcher from Armaholic used by thousands of users. I do have mods, installed as per recommendations not in the AddOn folder. The launcher allows me to pre select which mods I want to use. If I do not select any then the base program runs & NO mods are loaded. So the point about mod launcher order being mixed is incorrect. In fact I have run ARMAII not using the launcher at all - it still runs OK & I still have the same problem with TOH. Anyone else have this problem? Regards, ChrisD

.kju - I think we have reached the end of the line for the moment. I carefully read the Wiki & known issues 2 is the exact problem I have when I start TOH. However - 1) I DO have a genuine CD of ARMAII & 2) I have patched it to V1.11 - so something is preventing TOH from finding the Registry entry for ARMAII. I stress again - ARMAII works perfectly, installed in the default location & patched up to V1.11 with no problems. I have no idea what the problem is, but I will leave it for the time being & may get a PC expert to look at the registry entries. Anyway, thank you very much for your time & trouble. Happy Xmas! Regards, ChrisD dwringer - just seen your last post. My problem is that I cannot run TOH until I uninstall Rearmed from the program - so the expansions menu contains only TOH. I do have Arma OA installed & that has Expansions but does not pick up TOH or Rearmed.

.kju - no difference with removing the .cfg file. A question that occurred to me - why me? Why is my update not installing in the correct order? It is downloaded from the BI site, & I have now tried 4 times with the same result. I may be new to BI, but certainly not to installing patches & upgrades. I have the correct patch - V1.01 to V1.06 Full. My TOH is genuine (from Game stores) Any thoughts? If not, then I think I'll give up. TOH works OK by itself. ARMA II works OK by itself. I will go back to Black Shark which I am still learning how to fly properly. Regards, ChrisD

.kju - thanks for your prompt reply. In order of your answers - 1) I already use an ARMAII launcher ( by Kegetys?) for ARMAII & mods (mostly aircraft) I have. This works OK. Is this what you mean? 2) I'll pass. 3) I'll do that later & see what happens. With my limited knowledge of the programs I agree with you. TOH works OK if I remove Rearmed using Windows Control Panel which has an entry - Rearmed Uninstall. This leaves TOH upgraded to V1.06 but no Rearmed. I'll let you know. Regards, ChrisD

.kju - have a go at this! http://sharesend.com/rjabpp2k - this is the latest one - there is another one which is the earlier one named ......./tcd12mck Regards, ChrisD

OK _ will do that asap. ChrisD

.kju - just tried again with the same result. Will delete everything & start again. After that it goes out of the window & I will go back to Black Shark!! Regards, ChrisD

Hi .kju - I just had a quick look at the rpt file & see that many items are listed twice! Before I take up any more of your time, I will completely un-install TOH & then re-install & see what version no. is shown - it could be that it is already v1.06 out of the box. I will let you know the result. Apologies for the delays - life gets in the way of simulations! Regards, ChrisD

.kju I have the 2 items you asked for - the TOH folder is a JPG of 55kb & the RPT file is 1.91Mb - but how do I get them to you? Sorry to be a nuisance! Regards, ChrisD

.kju - just re-reading your request - what is the rpt file & by screenshot of the TKOH folder I assume you mean the files & folders in it? Regards, ChrisD

Thanks .kju - I am not at my games PC at present, but I launch TOH from the desktop icon. I will send a screen shot when I am able. Regards, ChrisD

Hi, I am new to TOH, but not to ArmaII, which I have installed, along with OA, in the default location. I bought the 2 DVD boxed set of TOH, installed it to the default location, then used patch v1.06 downtown + rearmed. When I ran the game I got the first error 'config.bin/cfgGameUI/.....' pressed OK then got a 2nd error 'Error compiling pixel shader PSSpecularAlpha:0' The program then stopped. Ctrl-Alt-Del to get out. Used Windows to remove Rearmed & TOH ran OK. Checked version & it is V1.06.96470. There is a rearmed folder in TOH, but it only has an uninstall prog. When I run TOH ArmaII (Chenarus, Ute) do not show in the Expansions list. ArmaII is patched to v1.11 & I think OA to 1.54. My system is Win 7 64bit with i5 processor & ATI card - the PC is a few months old. Help please. Thanks, ChrisD
