Subject: Install Choice x2



S> Officers of SOCOM

I recently installed Operation Arrowhead for ARMA2 and noticed I had some serious bugs or issues after running Yoma Mod Manager and updated my OA with the latest ACE mods. I haven`t much experience in dealing with OA and the specific ACE mod folders that Yoma installs for OA……and what the differences are between those of Arma2 and OA.
After updating both my Arma2 and OA separately, I’m beginning to suspect that there might be some serious compatibility problems with Arma2 ACE and those of OA ACE mod folders. This whole mess may or may not have been brought about because of the fact that I elected to do a ‘joint install’ of my OA combined with my Arma2.

Operation Arrowhead gives you two(2) choices of install.
1/ Combined install (Combined Operations…………You install OA in the same directory as Arma2)
2/ A stand-alone install. (You install it in a different directory location that is different from your Arma2)

Right now and due to the problems I experienced, I completely uninstalled everything and am starting over again. This time I will choose a separate install for my OA and hopefully this will stop whatever conflicts that seem to occur with a combined install.
I just thought that it would be a good idea to share this information with you just in case some of you are considering installing Operation Arrowhead.

Let me know if anyone here is or has experienced similar problems, so that we here at SOCOM can gain a clearer insight into OA and hopefully provide the technical support to new and existing members. Any feed back is most welcome gents!.

Thanks for Listening..

<S> Looks like the separate install of OA works. I created a custom folder and reinstalled OA into it.

Then ran Yoma and directed it to install the ACE OA mods into its custom directory separate from Arma2. Then ran OA as a standalone and just used the in-game interface to enable the ACE OA mods.......no bugs.!


Operation Arrow Head is a go!.
Hope this helps..
