error creating direct3d 9 graphical engine arma 2

[Oslomadon]

OK
I have tried running the .exe launch from program folder, and same thing,
It would be good if Arma2 would supply an "Install repairer/checker" that checks the integrity of folders, and makes sure that nothing is out of place...

I can send you my DxDiag.txt, however I am unsure how to attach a file using his forum.
I can email the file to a Genuine support member.

You have the Steam version? So why are you manually trying to patch it? That will certainly mess your game up, Steam auto patches. Not to mention it looks like you're trying to patch Arma2 which is irrelevant when you have OA installed.

Errr you said you have the Steam version? Steam has an "Install repairer/checker", it's called "verify the cache integrity", for someone who's making snide remarks at Myke above who's wasting his free time trying to help an ungrateful petulant person I'd suggest you focus more on the steps you're taking to try to help yourself rather than the steps you're taking to try to ensure nobody wants to help you.

---Please get your facts right. Those comments were not made by ME
---and no I am not running Steam version

very unprofessional I might add.

Then why on earth have you hijacked the thread of someone using the Steam version? You brought the incorrect replies on yourself. I'd suggest you start your own troubleshooting thread then and not hijack someone else's

Because we have the same issue.
If I started my own thread people would tell me there is already a thread on the subject.
Furthermore, the original thread poster is not the one who has made impatient comments towards technical staff.

I believe I am in the right place.

You said you were using the beta patch right?

If so look in your Arma root folder for Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch short cut and try that to launch Arma. I have the same issue and this shortcut is the only way i can launch the game without getting this error.

As someone posted above, this is often a short cut issue. Good luck.
