If you need help with a game. Whether it be installing a mod for a game or getting a game to start.






I get this message when I try to play arma 2 OA       

Spoiler

[close]

I uninstalled and reinstalled. I tried to verify the game cache  as well. But Nothing works ...

it really is confusing but the ArmA games sometimes when you buy them, never work apparently.

try contacting Bi-Studio (the devs for the ArmA games)

And try going here to see if you can run the game- http://systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

just select ArmA II from the list.

it will ask to allow to install a plugin, click yes. no viruses are with it, trust me, i use it all the time.

well. Arma 2 cant be run on windows 8

[Hugh MacKay]

Yes it can
Just because it's not listed on the page for requirements doesn't mean it's not supported, just that the requirements are outdated.
Pretty much every game that can be played on Win7 can be played on Win8 too.

just put the program in compatibility mode with windows 7. should fix it.

the same error still pops up for arma 2 OA 



but also  A new problem 

A couple of months ago I installed the great war mod for NTW. I uninstalled the mod after I was done with it. but now when I try to play NTW I cant join any servers and there isn't any sound.

Before installing any mods create back up files. Try to check the cache, if it doesnt help - re-install game.

Ive already revalidated game cache on steam and ive uninstalled and reinstalled the game.
