ARMA 2: CO (how to combine ARMA 2 into ARMA 2:OA and use together)

[Pease]

because You obviously moved Your ARMA 2 installation

it uses the path where it was installed ...

if You used junction / symlink it would work easily

unable to read 1st post ?

Actually I never moved it, I have always had it installed on my D: drive. That was the point of me having it on my D: drive. Now my C: drive has my OpSystems on it, so I have never moved it. It just doesn't come up correctly. That would be where you guys come in.

So if we buy the Combined Operations collection we don't have to do all of this? This is only for those who had Arma 2 before OA came out or those who bought them seperate?

No, not exactly, you will still have problems with the steam version of CO.

I'm getting the boxed version, would I still have problems then?

[AMS AGENT 000]

well people need to remember if you want run A2 steam or combine any release with STEAM
each (A2/A2:OA) of STEAM based product must be run at least once (on first run is written registry key with path)
same applies when you do 'integrity check on A2 or A2:OA, you must then again run once A2 and then OA to get the A2:CO option working

and the non STEAM product must be properly installed with path again available in registry
(some low rights users reported if they ran dvd installer w/o admin rights it failed for them to write yet i think that's very rare case)

in short the batch needs the be able read from registry path to both products and then it will utilize it for mod entry

that's all

if you want more mods either edit or better copy the batch file to new one and then edit as You need

ofcourse reading carefully the first post is definitely plus (cause i just repeated the same written there already)

Well it was actually an addon but I'm using the "TF86 Navy SEALs Pack". Like i said, the game was running fine last night with the addon. Today, it just crashes to my desktop after i see the BIS logo.

hmm very strange. Try first without that mode and see if you can start the game, of not.. then you have to make sure you don't have installed anything else on your computer after last night, if so try to remove what you have installed.
