where did you buy the game and how are you launching the game

i thought you did but some servers are running 1.7.4 and 1.7.4.3 still so i thought i would put it just incase glad its working

have you got pmc and baf dlc if so you need to update them to the latest versions You need to update your PMC to 1.02 http://community.bis...PMC_Patch_v1.02 downloadlink to A2OA 1.60 PATCH (it includes both BAF and PMC patch) http://community.bis...OA:_Patch_v1.60 Just make sure after running the patch you reinstall the latest ARMA BETA patch again. The reinforcements patch 1.60 will reverse also your ARMA2 BETA patch to some ancient version.

try deleting the @dayz mod folder and then reintsall the version you require dayz commander does not have 1.7.4 it has 1.7.4.4 if you want 1.7.4 get it from here http://cdn.dayz.nu/latest/testing/oldtesting/ install the 1.7.3 version then copy the files from the zip over

if you look at the change log it has already gone been replaced by the holo version https://github.com/R4Z0R49/DayZMod/blob/1.7.5/Documentation/Changelog.md

the option has been removed from oa in steam now it loads as co auto now if you launch oa and click expansions it should list arma as one of them

that steam launches co now if you launch oa in steam and go into expansions and activate oa and arma then it is co if you disable arma and leave oa its then oa

hi mate you have everything you need to run dayz it would be helpful if you say what error messages you are getting

cool let me know how it goes

there is no co keys they are all a2 and oa keys in retail they both install to the same location and in steam it now copies the files over and starts it as default and you can disable it in expansions in the arma options. Makaveligz in dayzcommander option click run with steam to get the overlay working or you can create a shortcut within steam so steam will launch it and you will have the overlay just be sure that when you open the overlay you are not holding a key down otherwise it will stick and you have to press it a couple of times quite fast to get it working again if you want to create a shortcut for steam and find servers using the arma browser click on the add non steam game then browse then go to the arma oa beta exe and press ok then find the new entry in the steam library and go to properties change the the name to dayz change the target to this for x64 and installed on c:\ "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" "-beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion" "-mod=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2;Expansion;ca;@dayz" -nosplash for x86 and installed on c:\ "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" "-beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion" "-mod=D:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2;Expansion;ca;@dayz" -nosplash set the start in as for x64 and installed on c:\ C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\ for x86 and installed on c:\ C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\ when you update the beta or dayz you do not have to change this shortcut if you want to launch another map just make another shortcut or edit that one and add the map to the end ei "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" "-beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion" "-mod=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2;Expansion;ca;@DayZFallujah" -nosplash hope this helps

yes steam automatically starts co now you don't need to copy the arma files over anymore.... they are located in the common folder in oa

launch using dayz commander make sure the paths are correct in the options

do you own the dlc if so disable it and try again

the problem is your cpu more then your gpu in this case the min spec for arma is a dual core 2.4 yes i know that your cpu is a triple core but the amd triple cores are not that good eps the mobile versions most dual cores are faster than them. arma thrashes your cpu and dayz just adds to that sorry about that the thing you can try is cleaning out the heatsink and fan the Acer Aspire 5552G are well known for being dust collectors this could be causing heat problems and slowing down the cores if your quite handy with computers i would look at getting some new compound on to the chips under the heatsink just to help it out a little. best advice i can give you if you want to play games get a desktop

you need to own combined operations this is arma 2 and arma2 operation arrowhead you can own them from different sources ie mixed steam and retail it doesn't matter you can even own arma2 free (low res textures) + arma oa and it will work combined operations just means you own both not a separate game

and if that doesn't solve your problem then your screwed :)

how are you launching dayz are you using steam versions of arma 2

have you tried using the 0.9.6.6 hive files ftp://dayzcommander:[email protected]/ or you could reinstall http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8328 and try again

try turning down aa and af i get trees like that sometimes

have you checked to see in the option that the correct paths are selected by dayzcommander

you have to downgrade dayz to 1.7.2.6 for .55 namalsk to work if you take a look at what it loads "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" "-mod=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2;Expansion;ca;@dayz;@DayZ_Namalsk;@namalsk" it loads the dayz files for 0.55 of namalsk it loads the 1.7.2.6 version then the modified dayz file the 0.55 then the maps for namalsk @namalsk if after downgrading it dont work use the shortcut file above to load it just change the paths where you need to

you can try pasting the following into a text file and saving it as "DayZ.cmd" <== make sure thats in "" and running that SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS :v64_path_a2 For /F "Tokens=2* skip=2" %%A In ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2" /v "MAIN"') Do (set _ARMA2PATH=%%B) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2PATH (GOTO v32_path_a2) ELSE (GOTO v64_path_a2oa) :v32_path_a2 For /F "Tokens=2* skip=2" %%C In ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2" /v "MAIN"') Do (set _ARMA2PATH=%%D) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2PATH (GOTO uac_PATH_A2) ELSE (GOTO v64_path_a2oa) :uac_PATH_A2 @FOR /F "tokens=2* delims= " %%I IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2" /v "MAIN"') DO (SET _ARMA2PATH=%%J) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2PATH (GOTO std_PATH_A2) ELSE (GOTO v64_path_a2oa) :std_PATH_A2 @FOR /F "tokens=2* delims= " %%K IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2" /v "MAIN"') DO (SET _ARMA2PATH=%%L) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2PATH (GOTO ENDfailA2) ELSE (GOTO v64_path_a2oa) :v64_path_a2oa For /F "Tokens=2* skip=2" %%E In ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA" /v "MAIN"') Do (set _ARMA2OAPATH=%%F) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2OAPATH (GOTO v32_path_a2oa) ELSE (GOTO RUN) :v32_path_a2oa For /F "Tokens=2* skip=2" %%G In ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA" /v "MAIN"') Do set (_ARMA2OAPATH=%%H) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2OAPATH (GOTO uac_PATH_A2OA) ELSE (GOTO RUN) :uac_PATH_A2OA @FOR /F "tokens=2* delims= " %%M IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA" /v "MAIN"') DO (SET _ARMA2OAPATH=%%N) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2OAPATH (GOTO std_PATH_A2OA) ELSE (GOTO RUN) :std_PATH_A2OA @FOR /F "tokens=2* delims= " %%O IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA" /v "MAIN"') DO (SET _ARMA2OAPATH=%%P) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2OAPATH (GOTO ENDfailA2OA) ELSE (GOTO RUN) :run call "%_ARMA2OAPATH%\Expansion\beta\ARMA2OA.exe" "-mod=%_ARMA2PATH%;EXPANSION;ca" "-mod=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion;@dayz" -nosplash -cpuCount=2 -exThreads=7 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 ENDLOCAL :end @exit /B 0 :ENDfailA2 @exit /B 1 :ENDfailA2OA @exit /B 2

try deleting your dayz folder and installing it

you want all the boxes to be green (@dayz arma 2 arma2 oa etc) then it will say it needs to restart

that error means its not opening the arma2 files did you try the shortcut if so after its loaded to the main screen check in expansions if all the boxes have a green box next to them
