Pummel 10 Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) Hello, I have a problem installing this new patch. The first time I downloaded it, I got an error that said, "Error found in file all\arma2oa.exe.#oa" So I deleted that patch and downloaded another one from a different website, and now this one says, "Error found in file EXPANSION\ADDONS\anims_e.pbo" If I press "ignore" it will just move on and have another error on another file, and I can ignore again and again and it does it with a dozen or more files. Also behind the error, in the patch window, it says, "error xdelta3 returned error code: 1". What should I do? C2D oc 3.5 4 gig ddr2 hd5870 ssd latest drivers win 7, 64 bit (I tried running as administrator and without) game is DVD version I have Arma 2 and OA, but no DLC.

xFullBoost 10 Posted April 14, 2011 Me too, any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.kju 3240 Posted April 14, 2011 Steam, no steam? Beta patch used before? Updated your launch path? Rpt? http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/arma.RPT How do you think people can help you, if you provide no info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xFullBoost 10 Posted April 15, 2011 Steam, no steam?Beta patch used before? Updated your launch path? Rpt? http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/arma.RPT How do you think people can help you, if you provide no info. arma 2 is steam with latest patch. OA is non steam previous patch. no beta patches. every time i try to install the newest patch i get said error. i tried reinstalling oa with a different directory but i still couldnt install the newest patch. i downloaded the file twice from two different sources. maybe i should uninstall it again and delete any BI files from my registry. then install and give it another shot.

Pummel 10 Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) It's been over a week since I could play this game... Something else I tried was to shut down all background apps like virus and firewall etc. It didn't help. I think I have already provided all the other necessary info. RPT seems pointless seeing as that is generated when the game runs and the failure to patch all happens outside of the game.

.kju 3240 Posted April 15, 2011 Obviously your install is corrupted Pummel. This normally happens if you RAM or HDD is faulty. There are many many threads in here what to do next or even in the BIKI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pummel 10 Posted April 15, 2011 I don't agree with any of that, but I'll go through the trouble of re-installing just to disprove it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xFullBoost 10 Posted April 15, 2011 can anyone tell me how to delete all BI entries in my registry? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pummel 10 Posted April 15, 2011 You would have to do it manually and carefully. Run "regedit", press F3, and type in bohemia, and find each entry and remove it. Just be careful, you can mess your computer up if you make any mistakes in regedit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.kju 3240 Posted April 15, 2011 A re-install will not help, when your RAM or HDD is faulty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pummel 10 Posted April 15, 2011 A re-install will not help, when your RAM or HDD is faulty. There's nothing wrong with my RAM or HDD. Please don't post again in this thread. You should not be giving technical advice to people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1124 Posted April 16, 2011 sorted by possibility of cause 1. damaged install, full reinstall needed (usually solves all issues) 2. rights issues (try start patch via "run as administrator") 3. not enough free space on target / temp / os drives 4. cpu/memory problems (overclock, hw failure) 5. some anvivirus security suite in way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pummel 10 Posted April 16, 2011 Thanks I'll post back when I've tried a reinstall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xFullBoost 10 Posted April 16, 2011 got mine to work!This is how. 1. Uninstall ArmA 2 and all expansions. 2. Open 'regedit' from W7 Start menu search. 3. Search for "bohemia interactive" in regedit. delete entries. (becareful deleted entries in regedit can harm your system. do your research before you modify your registry. i made a system restore point) 4. Install ArmA 2. Patch to 1.09 5. Install ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead. 6. Install British Armed Forces and Private Military Company (or ArmA 2: Reinforcements) 7. Patch to 1.59 8. Enjoy :-) Not saying this can work for all. but it worked for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pummel 10 Posted April 18, 2011 Yeah re-install fixed it for me too. Not sure what would cause the original install to become messed up. The game was working perfectly so I doubt it was corrupted, and if it was, it's the only thing to be corrupted. Everything else is working fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
