Arma 2 problem
« on: October 16, 2011, 06:39:41 PM »
Got arma 2 OA yesterday from frys and im finally home. One file will not install though...the dubbing.pdo file. I was wondering if someone could send me a copy of theirs so I could install my game. :cheers:

is the game installed onto your computer and won't start because of the missing dubbing.pdo file?  if so insert the CD into the drive and right click and find Explore that will open up the contents and you can search for it that way once found just copy and paste it into the game directory on your hard drive, if that wont work then while the CD is still in go to the start bar click go to search>find files, click that and a window will pop up and ask you want you want to search for, click files and folders, type in the file name   dubbing.pdo   under that will be the drive selection to scan the default is always C:/ hit the drop down and find the drive that the CD is in then just hit search.  hope this helps

take it back to where you got it, with receipt, and tell them your issue.

see if you can get it replaced.
