Perfect. All working well. Thank you guys!

Will do. I'll also edit OP so that people can get straight to the fix. I appreciate when others do that, so only fair I follow their lead. Thanks again chaps!

Thank you guys for all of your help. I'm 3/4 through downloading this patch, and I hope it'll be the fix I've been looking for! I appreciate all of you guys' responses. All from the forum team, too. Wow.

ARMA2 Patch 1.11 Is this the correct patch version?

Ahhhh. This may help. I'll start downloading it now, I was not aware that I had to patch/update arma 2.

I have indeed.

I have also done this. I launched it to the multiplayer menu. Anything in particular I should have done? Actually played the game?

Oh, ofcourse. Apologies, I failed to mention that. I've completely removed A2free and all associated files. I've also patched arma2OA to the latest available beta using commander. I have tried moving arma2 to the same HDD that I launch OA from, too. Still no luck. Currently triple checking everything whilst awaiting potential responses from you fine fellows. Thanks for the response.

I've done exactly as I did to get it working using arma2_free, but still nothing. I am rather versed in the art of getting dayz to work, and have screenshared countless friends to fix it for them... But this has me stumped. Upon launching dayz using commander, or my own shortcuts through the beta, I am greeted with "Addon 'CAAir_BAF' requires addon 'CACharacters_E'" and a black DAYZ screen that doesn't move. No idea how to fix this at all. I use a steam version of ARMA2 OA, and a retail cd version of ARMA2. Any advice or fixes? I have used the search function to find others, but no fixes mentioned. **FIX** After a load of help from the fantastic Forum Team, a fix has been found. Anybody who has yet to update ARMA2 should do so here: http://www.arma2.com/index.php?option=com_rokdownloads&view=file&Itemid=20&id=777%3Aarma2-patch-1〈=en Install the patch, run the game once, launch dayz after checking your Dayzcommander/playwithsix directories for arma2 and operation arrowhead are correct. Enjoy playing DayZ!**

When you're passed out, you roll onto your back. If I were to be on my back under the car, on a prop used for car repairs... yiss.

Can't say I have ever played that. I'm going to leave my pc off for a few hours and see if I've left it idling for too long. Thank you to everyone who offered advice.
