    Opening Issues

    Hello, everyone, I just bought ARMA 2 yesterday, and I am having issues getting it open. At first, when I attempted to run the game, it said, "Data file too short. Expected X, got Y." I came on here, checked for a fix, and there was a user with a very similar problem. I tried the suggested fix, and it changed the error. Now, it says, "Can't open file 'addons\dubbing.pbo'".

    It took me $30, and 24 hours. I want to play my game.

    It would be a helpful start if we know what version of the game you bought?
    If someone reports an issue/complains about the Alpha etc, replying in the thread "dude it's an alpha" doesn't really help anyone! Point them to the Arma3 Alpha feedback tracker instead please!

    Please do not PM or Email me directly about your CD Key issues, follow the guidance in this thread instead.

    I bought ARMA II and ARMA II: Operation Arrowhead. ARMA II had finished downloading first, and when I tried to activate it... yeah. Oooh, also, my hardware specs:

    Manufacturer: Alienware M14X
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz
    RAM: 8.00 GB
    System type: 64-bit Operating System.

    I got it to work with a bit of work. I had to re-download a number of corrupted files, and then it worked. Thanks for trying to help, anyway.
