Bad Serial Number Given in Setup

howlin_mad_murdock0 · 19th January 2009, 08:37 AM

when i run my arma i get this message:

Bad Serial Number Given in Setup

any help?

Chanvlan · 19th January 2009, 09:12 AM

i take it it means that that serial is a pirated one

Jim · 19th January 2009, 09:23 AM

I guarantee its not a pirated serial.

Have you tried to uninstall it and reinstall it?

Oh ooh Murdoch won the guess-a-number Arma giveaway comp ?

If it's a legit version - you can always communicate with the manufacturer about it...

Technically Daveee won, but he already has it, so he graciously passed it to Howlin.

Its definitely legit, worked fine for me both times I installed it and all 6 or so times I actually played it.

this is a stupid question JIM but you didnt happen to register the game when you installed it?

Jim · 19th January 2009, 12:00 PM

I dont believe so.

Strange within the first page of my Arma game Instruction Manual, i have a sticker with a 24 Digit code broken down to 4-5-5-5-5 to complete.

Worst case senerio contact BI for more info Wiki

Jim · 19th January 2009, 04:11 PM

yeah it's certainly a different flavour, isn't it...
I don't mind the single player - don't like the multi player much.
