Shotlizc 2.0

Okay, thanks for help Duckimus Maximus. I guess I just wonder why it didn't replace the missing files after the fresh install from Amazon. But thanks for the help.

Bump. I will try the Arma2 Free solution, but I would prefer to find the base of the issue

Oldy1Kenobi, Yes I have run both Arma2 vanilla before installing OA, then OA before DayZ Commander, Then them both after DayZ commander.

Gavalin, Sorry I wasn't clear enough in my original post I got all the Arma2 packages mixed up. I purchased Arma2 Combined Operations on Steam which includes Arma2 and Arma2 Operation Arrowhead. The reason I emphasized the Steam compatibility issue is because every solution to this issue I could find online had its second step as "Go to the steam files and verify integrity" which I cannot do since my game is not associated with steam at all. But thanks for the help! I will be sure to give that a try when I have some time since at the moment I am working on an essay due later this week.

Hi, So I've got an issue with DayZ that is currently preventing me from playing it due to a reoccuring "You were Kicked From Server" theme, below I detail as much information as possible to please look it over; and I'm going to apologize for the massive amount of text I'm about to include, I just wanted to be as thorough as possible in hopes of getting the best solution. First as asked by LVG: I purchased Arma2 CO through Amazon and download it through there with no compatibility with Steam. (Includes Arma2 and Arma2 OA) According to DayZ Commander I am running Arma2 I am using DayZ Commander. I have an ASUS P8Z68-V Pro MO, EVGA GeForce GTX 570 HD, Intel Core i7-2600K. I am using Windows 7. Now for my issue: Before Arma2 is completely running I get an error message as follows"Addon 'dayz_anim' requires addon 'CAMisc_fix_A2FREE'". This however has not proved to be an issue since I press "Ok" and it lets me play. Although once I get onto a server I am usually kicked within a couple minutes. My friends that have played with me often site a .pbo animation file, missing or not correct or something. Unfortunately none of my friends I play with have been able to write it down for me since I cannot see this error since I get booted from the server. I have tried this on multiple servers and the couple times I tried to follow what my friends told me and I could not find the animation file in the pathway given in the error message I have been researching resolutions for the past week or two, but unfortunately since I am not suing this with Steam there are no resolutions I found. I have tried the following things: 1) Reinstalled Arma2/Arma2 CO/DayZ Commander 2 times 2) Reinstalled Battleye 3) Logging on to different servers 4) Changing to a prior Arma2 build and playing DayZ I can play (and actually have been just so I can pretend I'm playing DayZ) the Arma2 and Arma2 CO campaigns just fine. I would really appreciate any help that anyone can provide, because I really love this mod so much and am quite disappointed that I won't be up all weekend playing it with my best buds. -Shotlizc
