I would love to be able to play (error creating direct3d 9 graphic profile)

Bought this yesterday, have been unable to launch Operation Arrowhead at all.

I've restarted my PC, verified Game Cache, run Steam as Admimistrator... Nothing seems to work.

It's starting to feel like I've wasted my money.

Try follow the instructions here for the Steam version

Thanks. After posting this, I somehow managed to join a DayZ server for the first time. I've seriously spent 6 hours yesterday and today trying to join.

I redownloaded the beta patch 20 times, reinstalled Battleeye 2 times... No idea what fixed it but I'm working at the moment.

I can launch the game through Six Launcher but when I try through steam I get this error too. ANy help?

Here are some better instructions, under "Updated: Make a shortcut to launch ARMA2 Beta with Steam Overlay (Optional)". Hopefully they'll be merged to the non-talk page soon.

I don't know why Six Launcher fails to launch in Steam, but this works, and the in-game server browser is much faster than Six Launcher's, too.
