You need to active the key via steam then after right click the game in the library and then click copy key to clipboard then put it into Darky's Key Changer and you're good to go.

By activate the key do you mean verify the integrity cache if so i've already tried that

Not even worth my time anymore.

Can anyone else help me?

You don't need to use Darky. If you buy a new OA key on steam with a new account then you should be good to go. If not then start up Arma OA as usual and get into a game, not Dayz, just Arma vanilla. Close it down and try Dayz, should be ok. If not i can help in an hour or so, PM me and we can do it on Skype.

Edit: going to re-download and install it and see if it will work then

Ok we're making progress. When you say it crashes, exactly what happens. If dayz says "Something went wrong try again" that's not crashing, you just need to wait 2-3 minutes.
As far as steam goes, just leave it it will acquire the file if necessary. Depending on the file size it has to acquire and the speed of your ISP it may take a while, I wouldn't play till its done. Then check lat.

Don't forget to check Arma 2 as well as OA.
