Mouse90112 1 Posted June 20, 2012 I recently bought ArmA II: Combined Ops over Steam so that i could play DayZ. I am able to play ArmA II fine, but when i go to launch Operation Arrowhead I get the error "No Entry bin\config.bin/CfgInGameUI/MPTable.shadow" then it goes to "Error Compiling Pixel Shader PSSpecularAlpha:0" I have done everything suggested in this forum and many other. Running as admin, restarting, running as admin from direct .exe. Nothing has helped me. (Please Note: I checked numerous pages on this forum before posting to make sure it wasnt previously answered.)

Nicholas 5 Posted June 20, 2012 Try deleting "ArmA2OA.cfg" in the ArmA2 folder in your documents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mouse90112 1 Posted June 20, 2012 I'm fairly certain i deleted that file, i tried running OA again and still the problem persists. Do i need to do another step? Or am i missing something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProfTournesol 956 Posted June 20, 2012 I'm fairly certain i deleted that file, i tried running OA again and still the problem persists. Do i need to do another step? Or am i missing something? Did you try to start ArmA2 (then exiting) before starting OA ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mouse90112 1 Posted June 20, 2012 Yes I ran ArmA2 and quit from the main menu then tried again. Anything else i could try? ---------- Post added at 13:25 ---------- Previous post was at 13:04 ---------- Oh and on a side note i have tried to verify my cache via Steam but it say something along the lines of one item failed to verify and will be reaquired. Idk if that may help us solve this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicholas 5 Posted June 20, 2012 I would just uninstall and then restart your PC. Once restarted, install again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mouse90112 1 Posted June 20, 2012 One last thing, i mentioned that i got it to play DayZ but i havent installed it or any other mods.

Nicholas 5 Posted June 20, 2012 Where can i get a launcher app to use? If you've deleted your ArmA2OA.cfg, it would have cleared any issues such as that. A 3rd party application is completely unnecessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If ArmA2 works for you, you've got a graphic card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicholas 5 Posted June 20, 2012 Ok well i took your advice Nicholas and restarted everything ArmA II is currently downloading through admin and all, but im afraid that i might be missing a graphics card or something im not sure how to locate that. You said that you can play ArmA II though, correct? Make sure you launch ArmA II before installing and launching ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead.

Mouse90112 1 Posted June 21, 2012 I verified the game cache for ArmA 2 and every time before on both games i was told that it failed to verify and it had to reaquire but it did nothing, this time when i did it it went through and stopped at 100% and my game seemed to redownload again but ever so faster, and ArmA 2 works again.

Mouse90112 1 Posted June 21, 2012 After ArmA 2 got installed all over again i pulled it up and played around in boot camp for like 5 minutes, then i closed it down and installed OA. When OA launched i got the same error with the bin\config.bin/CfgInGameUI/MPTable.shadow but the next error message was data file too short so i verified the integrity of the cache again, and when i tried the next time it went back to the original Pixel Shader issue, so it seems im back at square one. ---------- Post added at 14:04 ---------- Previous post was at 14:02 ---------- P.S. When i verified the integrity of the cache it stopped at 100% and never said it was finished it just reinstalled the game so IDK what the deal there was.
