Hi,
First, let me sat that ARMA 2 is such a great game that it lured me back to PC gaming from Xbox. As context, I started gaming with Falcon 2.0 before there were sound cards, and played OFP when it was first released over a decade ago.
I purchased Combined Operations via Steam, and was able to download run ARMA 2.
I then downloaded and ran OA, and go the following message:
- Bad serial number given in setup
I then tried to run OA Beta, and got the following error messages:
- Error compiling pixel shader PSSpecularAlpha:0
- No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgInGameUI/MPTable.shadow'
I have to say that this is the sort of irritating experience that drove me away from PC gaming to the Xbox, "it just works" model.
