Getting Banned when PMC and BAF are installed

**ekul** · 10-09-2012

Hey,

A while ago I got global banned whilst BAF and PMC were installed. Bought a new CD Key, but when I change the key over using a HEX editor, I get an error for BAF and PMC when starting the game. If I uninstall BAF and PMC I don't get the error (its something to do with those having the wrong key). I know that you need to run the Arma 2 Beta patch after installing BAF and PMC to get them to run properly, but even doing that after changing the key doesnt fix it. Does anybody know how to sort this?
Im not running the Steam version of Combined Operations, but one bought from the BI website.

Thanks!
Ekul

If you're using the STEAM version of BAF and PMC, do what i do after every key change, go into the DLC properties and each one and Verify Integrity of Files...it should say "Uninstall", just click yes and then let it verify...it doesn't actually uninstall or delete the content, but rather just transfers it to some other file somewhere else...fixes every time.

The version I have is non-Steam but I used to have a Steam version and verifying integrity seemed not to work for me. Does anybody know why the CDKey error happens for PMC and BAF? The keys for PMC and BAF I have are legit, from BI website.
