Hello, recently I had a hard drive failure which resulted in me having to make a new install of almost everything. One of these things was the ArmA 2 Combined Ops, I played for a while and all was fine for the first few days, but when I restarted my PC for some updates and I tried again to play the game, I got the error for bad serial given in setup message. It took me a few days to solve this because i'm not the most tech savvy person, but I managed to solve it today, by editing some things in the registry. Now I have come across a new problem, whenever I try to join a server I receive a message telling me I have been kicked with a Global Ban. I don't understand why this is, and the first thought that came into my head was had i been hacked? Because as I was reading up on how to fix the bad serial error I saw people explaining that their CD key was stolen. Had this happened to me? Had someone stolen my CD key and used it for malicious reasons? Is there any way to solve this problem? If so, how?
Thank you in advance for any help with this.
(I have sent in a support ticket, but I decided to also post here also because the last ticket I sent was over a week ago and is still not replied to.)
