I have recently reinstalled Arma II + OA. When I start the ArmaII Launcher I get the message 'Deleted or changed files found. Program will restart'. Program then restarts, but only to have the same message again & this continues endlessly. In the list of mods there is one called '=0' I can delete this from the mod list but it will not go from the list to select for loading. What is =0?Please help!

No idea what =0 is apart from maybe being one of your cpu's; what launcher are you using?

Hi

The Arma II launcher by Alpinestars - latest version.

ChrisD

It could be that the program has got the wrong ArmA 2 root folder?

The root folder should be

C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2.exe

Ok, your problem is this:

Go to the 3rd tab in the launcher "mods" and then at the bottom of that you
will see a tick box and by it saying "Check automatically for mod folder in ArmA II directory"
untick this if you dont want the saying your having and the restart! after you
untick it, you need to save your profile by pressing the button looking like a
disk, then restart the launcher and that its.

Hope that helps.

But from what I can tell, he can't actually get into the launcher, since it comes up with restarting before you can access it

# Dany S [CWW] : But from what I can tell, he can't actually get into the launcher, since it comes up with restarting before you can access it

Yeah, just ignore the box saying it will close and where you need to press "OK" and then on
the launcher just untick the one I said, save profile .. THEN you can press the ok, or exit!
this will close the launcher, then restart it and it should all be fine.

Hi DarkXess & Dany S,

Thanks for all your help & I now have no problems with the launcher. When the message box came up I dragged it to one side, did not click OK, then was able to untick the 'check mods in folder ' box, select the mods I wanted, then saved this as the default profile. Exited the launcher then restarted it & all is well. I still have the strange =0 mod but it doesn't stop the launcher now. It may be, as Dany suggested, that the program is not in the program file folder. I read somewhere that with Win7 new programs should be in the root folder & this I do. My path is C:\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA II.
Dany - I'm sending you a private E Mail re.setup as we discussed.

Regards,

ChrisD
