Beta patch problems - Crash on start up

[peteyson]

Yesterday I installed the beta patch 94209 on top of my not so beta install. After doing so the beta bat would not work, not matter what, even if I rolled back. It seems like my problem is something gets broken when I install a beta patch over another beta patch.

So I uninstalled the game, wiping out all trace of it and installed 94209 today fresh, which worked just fine. Now the new beta patch came out and I updated it, thinking that all my prior problems would most likely not appear again. I was wrong, the same problem occured and instead of reinstalling the game I want to find out why this is happening.

When I launch the bat file. The loading checks go through and the monitor goes to a black screen, but then it crashes to the desktop and says "Arma 2 OA" is not responding.

I have the steam versions, please help!
