Please don't use full caps again. Ever. This is your only warning.

I don't know if Kegety's launcher is compatible with the Steam version of ArmA. You may need to use a different launcher. Alternatively, you can launch mod folders by shortcut or the command line.

EMSI's launcher might work with Steam, though I haven't tried it:

Or you can try the DOW launcher, which should be compatable with the steam version:

Can you not create a new thread for every problem you come across? I've merged your existing threads.

What exactly isn't working?

As far as I know, other than the install location, there's no real difference between the steam version of ArmA and the disk versions. Definitely nothing that'd effect the launcher anyway. Have you checked you've set up the modfolders correctly?

You don't need to worry about the command line if you're using a launcher, you might want to try testing it with the command line to make sure you've got your mod folder set up correctly though.

Try:
CODE
C:\Program files\steam\steamapps\common\ArmA Armed Assault\ArmA.exe -nosplash -mod=xxx


Obviously, replace xxx with the name of your modfolder.

Hmm... is steam running when you're trying this? If not, try signing into steam first.




Also, I'm not sure if these are just typos, but if they aren't...
CODE
C;\


Should be:

CODE
C:\


CODE
-nonslpash

Should be:
CODE
-nosplash


CODE
-world=empt

Doesn't need to be there.

hay im trying to install mods on my brothers computer .but for some resion when i go to click on the DOW launcher an error message comes up saying

acces to path C:\program files (x86)\blakord\dogs of war launcher\profiles` is denied

he is running it on 64 bit vista apparently that is why it is program files(x86) not sure if that matters again

Sounds like permission troubles, make sure the program is being run as an administrator. Alternatively try installing it to a different directory.
