Alright. Did that and the window said "1 file could not be verified and is being reacquired". Ran it again afterward and got the same result' date=' but the patcher ran this time without giving me the error. Not sure if that means it was successful or not, though. What version is this patch? ARMA indicates Version 1.60.87580 in the bottom corner of the menu screen. I apologize. I probably sound like a dunce. Thanks for being so quick and helpful, though. [/quote'] http://dayz.sykotix.com/arma-ii-beta-client-install/ Go that site, download the script from step three. When you run the script it should change to 1.60.93701 Right click on dayzbeta.bat > edit at bottom long line you'll see -window delete that. You can replace it with these launch option to improve game. -nosplash -world=empty -cpucount=2 -maxmem4096 -shadingQuality=0 -cpucount=2 - Dual Core. -cpucount=4 - Quadcore. Other Option IF you want steam overlay. First save original exe from AO folder. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta Copy arma2oa & overwrite the exe in main folder. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead Steam library > right click properties > Set launch options -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@dayz -nosplash (plus the ones above if you wish) Enjoy :) Thanks so much, man. I'm running out the door now, but it seems to be working. Version number changed and I was able to log on to a server. I'd rep the shit out of you if the rep system were still around.
