How to combine ARMA 2 Steam Version and Sprocket version of ARMA 2 OA

Recommended Posts

I know there are other threads out there for this, but for whatever reason, the explanation looks like Greek to me. If someone could break this procedure down real simple like...you know, for the less computer savvy it would be great! Thanks!!!

1. run normal ARMA 2 once on STEAM (start STEAM as admin preferred)

2. goto http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=101214

3. run ARMA 2: OA once to verify it runs

Ok, so I did what you said...and I saw no results...

is the .cmd thing supposed to start ARMA? because if so, it does not! What could I be doing wrong?

Does ArmA2 alone run perfectly and ArmA2:OA to then, Yes if you run _runA2CO_nonSteamOA.cmd (double click), but make sure your registry are OK, because the cmd file search for ArmA2 and ArmA2:OA install path.

Ok, so the problem was in the registry. There was no location for ARMA 2... so I fixed that...and they both load togther.

The issue now is I have duplicate items in the editor from ARMA 2 and OA. Is this a problem with everyone else? Thanks for the help though!

Duplicate items when you are running Combined Operation? (ArmA2 + ArmA2:OA)

Hmm never had that problem.

well how you installed the OA ?

if you installed it inside same folder where was A2 and not standalone

then You don't need the .cmd file at all

So...I could install A2OA inside the arma 2 folder ...and this would take care of all my problems? Also, how would I use the COmbined Ops with the beta version of Operation Arrowhead? Thanks again everyone!
