New Game Help Please

Hey guys

Right, got banned, and the short story is I didn't hack and didn't deserve it, as far as I know. B.E have ignored me, so need a new game because I'm missing Day Z and bored.

How do I get a new game? No one has keys by the looks of it atm, so I am willing to buy the game again.
Could you tell me what I need to buy? Just OA or CO again?

Extra info: Steam, global ban.

Thanks in advance.

Just OA. Gift it to an alternate steam you control, go through the purchase method, blah blah, get into alternate account, library>arma2OA right side says somehting with the word key in it. click that. copy to clip board, open notepad, ctrl+v that shit. remove hyphens, copy again, open Lockdown's key changer (should be on front page), insert key, hit enter. All set.

Legend mate. Can you advise on what account to open OA/CO on then? Or whether to open the exe elsewhere? I read somewhere that using the wrong account can mess things up?

Really appreciate the help mate!

No problem bro. Basically once you change the OA key using the tool, I think it will try to load the old (globally banned) key if you launch from Steam.

But you should be fine just launching from the .exe file itself (in program files (x86)/steam/appdata/common/arma2oa) or from launching using DayZ commander or 6 Launcher. Just avoid launching the game from steam.
