stuck on character loading screen.. if someone gets it to work.. post how..

Took me a while to figure it out, but it is now playable.

1) Get rid of the Tunngle folder - you don't need it :))

2) To avoid getting yelled at when connecting to a server due to an invalid serial key, you need to add the key to your registry. To do that, go to the ArmA 2 Free folder and run "ARMA2AO_Install any Update_WIN.32bit.reg". To be on the safe side, right-click on the .reg file and select "edit". Replace [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREBohemia Interactive StudioArmA 2 OA] with [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeBohemia Interactive StudioArmA 2 OA] save the file and then run it again.

3) The only thing left to do now is tell the DayZCommander where to look for ArmA. Run the commander located in "DayZ CommanderCurrent". Click "Settings" on the top of the window. Under "Game Directories" tick override for each directory. Now, I have extracted the contents of the downloaded archive to D: so you need to change the following according to where you've put it.
Arma2 Directory: D:Bohemia InteractiveArmA 2 Free
Arma2 OA Directory D:Bohemia InteractiveArmA 2 Free
DayZ Directory: D:Bohemia [email protected]

4) Remember to connect to servers labeled "NO CD" and you should be good to go!

All back slashes have been removed from my previous post for some reason...
Here are the values where you need to replace / with the back slash character:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Bohemia Interactive Studio/ArmA 2 OA]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/Bohemia Interactive Studio/ArmA 2 OA]
D:/Bohemia Interactive/ArmA 2 Free
D:/Bohemia Interactive/@Dayz

getting bad serial number given in setup

bad serial number given in setup

got it to work by manually going changing the key in the registry. press start go regedit, then localmachine/software/ create the folder Wow6432Node/Bohemia Interactive Studio/ArmA 2 OA] , then type new binary, and rename it key, then use a keychanger to add a new key.

then use a keychanger to add a new key.


How do I do that exactly ?
Sorry but I never had to edit a registry

how do I use a kaychanger to add a new key ? :(

I'm going to re-upload this so it actually is just download and play, the problem with this is you need to manually edit the registry, going to start and then reg edit, download a keygen and a keychanger, or it won't work. There isn't an included keygen here so you will have to search for one, until I reupload this with all the files needed.

you need to manually go in and change your registry and edit in a new key, or you will get invalid key on startup, you need to google for a arma 2 0a key changer, and a key gen, and then google a video about how to change arma 2 key in registry

can't you provide some quick links ? Also,please link to your next upload

https://piratebayproxy.live/torrent/6405788/ArmA_II___OA___RFT_multi_keygen worked for me. Just make sure you select "Arma 2 OA" in the list, then click "Generate" and enter that key in the registry.

I am still confused on how to set up the game, if someone could explain it clearly for the Noobs. Like me.

I tried nephyx but it would still result to bad serial number given in setup. Hope someone would help.
