I just recently bought ARMA Combined Operations on steam. After taking a while to install both Arma 2 and Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, I attempted to run ARMA 2. The game would go through three steps, attempting to perform first time setup of the game, it would install battleye with no problem, however when it got to the directx stage, it would act like it has completed, and then steam would show I have loaded up the game, only to then say I am then not on the game. Arma 2 does not load up.
I also checked all my files to see if something is wrong, I have no ARMA 2 OA files in my appdata, I have reinstalled the game many times, and this file never appears. Does it appear on start up? When i try and start the game from the exe, a audio file x3daudio1_6.dll does not work with windows.
I have tried validating my steam files, and everything. This is a game breaking problem. Without a fix for this Directx Internal problem, I am not able to run either Arma 2 or Operation Arrowhead.
I took the advice from the forum, and tried to install Direct9, only to do all the steps, and get an Internal error. I went to my Directx log to see the prob, and it appears as followed:
pastebin.com/J64PFeVF
The directx log where the error occurs.
I can't stress enough, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I INSTALL LOCAL FILES FOR ARMA 2 AND OA WILL NOT SHOW UP. Does anyone have a fix for this?
