Okay, so here's the deal. I bought CO, just installed Operation Arrowhead, see that I don't need Arma2 to play it (I'm downloading that as I speak) go to fire it up and get the message

"Cannot Opean File :C Programs Files(x86\Steam\SteamApps\Common\ArmA 2\addons\buildings.pbo"

What's the deal? Did my download stutter and I lost a file?

Probably a corrupt download, verify the cache.

Krauter · 07-13-12, 07:08 AM

Too late, I just deleted the folder. Saw that to run "Combined Arms" I needed to install ArmA2 first and then OA so that OA would find the ArmA2 install directory. Oh well.

Dowly · 07-13-12, 07:14 AM

Oh you tried to run CO? Yeah, that needs both A2 & OA.

Krauter · 07-13-12, 09:09 AM

No unjust clicked on OA that didn't work. So I tries CO and that didn't work hah. So I figured I'd start from scratch

Could it be Arma II Free? Sometimes Steam puts a 'free' game in to your library for a weekend to entice you.

I don't think so. I've had it for many months, I just don't remember buying it.

Krauter · 07-14-12, 06:43 PM

Anyone feel like doing a coop game or something? I think I need help getting the hang of this game.

i've been playing ArmA 2 for a while, i agree in you only need combined operations.

it's a very good combat sim game, with a nr. 3 in development.

some of the command and controls are a bit complicated, so just ask if you have any questions about it.

ArmA 2 Free , is a limited version where you only can play a couple of scenarios and multiplayer..

Krauter · 07-15-12, 05:48 PM

Hmm, anyone had this problem? I'm on the campaign mission where you need to laser designate targets (3, the house, hidden tank, and running tank) from atop a hill. I've destroyed all three targets but my Sgt still won't talk to me or update my task.

I reinstalled it to see what i have. Seems I bought the full version, i was playing the campaign. Probably bought it during one of the few times I drink.. there's always a good reason why I refrain and buying random games is a good one.

If you ever feel like drinking and buying again, but don't want the game - all donations to the Berbunch games list welcome.
