    I've installed OA Beta Patch 71900. But when I try to start it from the shortcut in the "Beta"-folder, I get an error message saying "No Entry ".ProfilePathDefault". Then the game boots, then the screen goes black before turning into a multitude of colours, and then I'm kicked to desktop.

    So... help?!

    Check Your root arma directory, there should be a Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch shortcut, right click it and send it to your desktop

    If the OA Beta uninstaller removes stuff it shouldn`t in Steam, can`t we just do a verify integrity of game cache, and Steam should red/l the missing files right?

    The reason for this is that whenever you launch OA with the -mod= parameter it will autodisable the ingame mod manager and since the beta patch NEEDS the -mod parameter theres really no way you can bypass this. You can still run all your mods using the old style of creating icons with a long -mod= line or using a launcher that supports the beta versions of OA.
    I support and respect the rights of addon makers to decide what is done with their addons and what is not. It really doesn't take a big effort to write a PM and ask.
