It is a steam install. Right now, I am re downloading Arrowhead to see if the combined ops launch problem gets fixed that way.

Hmmm... What could possibly be wrong. Everything looks as it should. Wait, just thought of something... Try going onto Steam and right clicking OP Arrowhead and select the one with COMBINED OPERATIONS. Maybe that is why. I tried it for me, but when it tries to launch, all I get is a little black screen of code and then nothing.

Right now I am using the worrom install tool... It is a lot faster than clicking and extracting. But still same problems.

Everything looks right to me! I dont know why it keeps saying I have downloadable content deleted... Also when I boot up the game I get "Addon Dayz_Code requires CABuildingParts"

Right now, I am trying to join servers. But it kicks me out with "cannot play/edit this mission, it is reliant on content that has been deleted" Maybe I should try doing it all over again?

If you have played Dark Souls or Demon Souls; then you have seen those orange messages written on the ground. All of them have some way of creating contact with the alive and the dead. They tell you what is ahead, where to go, what to do, etc. What if this was applied in the game with spray tags that you type out? Yes the system may be abused by trolls and other immature pests, but it can serve as a way to help survivors.... Survive!

Yeah, I was just thinking of that... Bandits could post a message of a safe haven, but then ITS A TRAP!

Need help!!! I have operation arrowhead and reinforcements as a retail version on a disk. I just downloaded the steam version of Arma 2, but how do I work this out now? It will not recognise it as combined operations.

I had this idea for a type of story element set within the mod. It would be a set of scattered diaries of a person moving on with day to day life trying to survive... It would feature helpful ideas, path ways, and clues to one massive stash hidden someplace in the world. The diaries would be rare, so in turn it would create a new level of challenge and secrecy as a player tries to find them wile trying to survive--as well as keeping them a secret from other players and out of the hands of bandits who may kill just for the one that is missing. There would not be just one set. There would be multiple ones strung about; all with their own story and clues. What say you to this idea?

I could write out a few of them for a base idea. If we want this; we need to make it known!
