How To: Change your CD key and stop steam from changing it on you!

[scypheroth]

This is how i was shown the change the Arma2OA CD key if you get banned of hacked. Now doing it this way will disable steam from reverting back to your factory banned key so that you can always launch it from steam!

-First off buy a new Arma2OA CD KEY
-Get a Keychanger i suggest the Darky KeyChanger, google it or use one you trust.
-Change your key with the Keychanger
-Now go into start menu and type "regedit" in search and open
-Now navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA
-Right click the ArmA 2 OA folder and select Permissions
-Click Advance
-Select Administrator(mine said my user name after it) click edit
-Check Deny on the Set Value line and click Ok then Apply then OK
-Close it all down to Desktop
-You can now run Arma2OA through steam without having to worry about Steam changing your key back to your banned one!

*note in the future when you get banned again and need to put in a new key you will need to re-allow the Set Value that you Denied in regedit, in order to change the key, Then just set it back to Deny.*

Did you not think some people might want to have the steam overlay and time tracking?
