[Resolved] Bad serial number given in setup

04-24-2011, 03:20 PM

Hey guys,

A friend of mine has bought me ArmA 2: Combined Assault as a gift the other day, and all the time I was only playing Operation Arrowhead, and it was working fine, however, now I wanted to play the regular ArmA 2, I clicked launch, and it finished the steps of launching a game for the first time, the game starts and after the Bohemia Interactive logo, it exits and I get a message saying:
"Bad serial number given in setup"
How to fix this issue?

Cheers,
Punkbuster

I have ran Steam as Administrator and it is working.
