[Solved] Data File too short issue!

Recommended Posts

I purchased OA via Steam last night. Everything was fine I played online for a few hours. Took an hour break and now when i click my shortcut it gives this error after attempting to load - ""Data file too short 'expansion\addons\animals_e.pbo.'. Expected 17485350, got 655360 B"" I googled this and found no solutions. I also removed the pbo and tried to start and it then stated that the "Missions_e.pbo" was too short. So I removed that, and it then stated, "Plants_e.pbo" was too short.... I'm not sure how to fix this issue any help is appreciated.

there is no need at all for You to use any retail updater on STEAM version

the STEAM version of ARMA 2 : Operation Arrowhead is up2date

please use this:

1. exit STEAM client

2. start STEAM client via 'run as Administrator'

3. select A2: OA in games list by left mouse button

4. right mouse button > menu > choose 'Properties'

5. chooce 'Local Files' tab

6. choose 'Verify Integrity File Cache'

7. wait till it's done

and try run game again
