andy87s 10 Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) Hi everyone. I searched everywhere but it didn't help me. I bought Arma 2 : Combined Operations yesterday (amazon game downloads). I was playing single player till now. I tried to go online (OA) and every server I join it says " Bad CD Key: Invalid CD key " Arma 2 works fine in multiplayer , it's just OA that gives me this error. Arma 2 : OA was already updated to 1.59(latest) when I installed. Arma 2 : wasn't (1.06) I reinstalled both games, ( they are both in the same folder (arma 2)) I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. Apreciated any help:( Edited May 8, 2011 by Dwarden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

.kju 3240 Posted May 8, 2011 Did you try to run the game as admin? Did you try to install battleye from the installer as admin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

.kju 3240 Posted May 8, 2011 In XP one can also have an user account (without admin privileges). Check these links from google. You find the BE installer instructions and download here: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BattlEye#Automated_BEClient.dll_installer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weskokigen 10 Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) Hi, I'm having the same issue I bought Combined Operations from Amazon 2 days ago, and multiplayer is not working for both ARMA II or OA. However, for OA it specifically says "bad CD key." For ARMA II it just kicks me back to the server list without saying anything. Please anyone (especially Admin) HELP. Where can I get a valid CD Key? I have proof of purchase and everything! I already contacted Amazon, but they haven't helped yet. Everything is in latest patch: OA is 1.59, ARMA II is 1.09 And one last thing: The publisher I purchased from is Meridian4 Edited May 8, 2011 by weskokigen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy87s 10 Posted May 8, 2011 After reading Weskokigen, Arma 2 kicks me too. I thought that the admin was kicking me. It doesn't give any reason it just kicks you back to server list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weskokigen 10 Posted May 8, 2011 Andy87s, so after contacting Amazon's software department, they said they'll contact Meridian4 and give me a new CD key. So perhaps it might work this time. I suggest you try contacting them too. I'll update thread when I receive the key. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy87s 10 Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) It was fixed for a few hour, but now I'm getting invalid cd key again. It also says at the bottom " XXXX uses modified data file - blah blah" when joining a server. I didn't do anything to modify data, I was just playing on a server. weskokigen how did you contact them?

brandon88n 10 Posted May 9, 2011 on the arma 2 not joining server, you need to make sure ur uptodate, and when u get kicked most likely you do not have the required mods to join the session. ---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ---------- i am still getting invalid key btw.. i also bought on amazon, game downloaded fine, no mp, arma 2 works fine.

Jai 10 Posted May 9, 2011 Hi Dwarden, I'm having the exact same issue as of this afternoon. I've played without fault for the past year on Arrowhead. I'm playing through Steam on Windows Vista 64. I've tried various "fixes" on the Steam forums including a full re-download. It only does this when I try to connect to a multiplayer game and my "Mission" menu is completely blank. Looking forward to a fix, Jai Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

therookaam 10 Posted June 19, 2011 Shameless bump but I cannot fix this problem. It only happens on my favorite servers. I join and the multiplayer lobby is blank and it disconnects me with "bad cd key" 30 seconds later. I've tried sooo many fixes and got nothing. Please help.
