On dAYz commaer, there is a lit of like 0 different ayz mods to update, and ten just DayZ. D i need to install ALL of these?

same please help

After sorting out the errr with OA , i dowloaded DayZ Commander, an ran as admin, and cae u with list of 4000 severs. I try to join a public one andit gives me an error saying 'There was an error loading ArmA 2 ith dayz. Details: The system cannot fnd he files specified. I hae dowloadedand ran both arma 2 an OA t th main menu, so what is the prblem?

I apologise if there is already a thread/ different section for this, but a couple of things i need to know: Capslock lets you communcate with a headset, what do you press to type a message in game? Also how doyou log out properlyto saveyour gear without alt +f4'ig (Haven't played the game yet waiting for download ... 19 hours later)

Really nice guide, didn't have the fogiest how to communicate in game ,defo worth a sub, eve if it is your ony one :)

Hi ,my name's Adrian, youan add my seam: Adrianhajjar. I sggest watching the startoff tutoral dave has posted in the new player forum, and also do the bootcamp on ArmA2 t learn basic controls. Oh, an enjoy the worst wait off your life, arma CO only JUST finished now , 20 hours later:/

Too bad we gotta wait till February to find out :s

Sorry for my bad knowledge of DayZ but im guessing white listed means everyone's been checked and is not a hacker. Woud i have to be checked etc to be whitelisted too before i can join one of these hives?

Ahh so when i donload the mod i'll use this link , thanks

So i have an HP pavilion slimline with w7, and ecently i have been getting weird errors, which id need to be addressed beforei considred buying arma 2and getting the mod. 1: flash player. Any aplication such as youtube that uses flash player doesn't work for me. I go onto a vido, and it say click here to download latest version of flashplayer, i download it and still it says i hgavent got flash installed I uninstalled and reinstalled, still same problem. I used to bypass this by using chrome - let me view vids, but now it loads the pagewitht he video, 2 seconds later another loadng sign and it white screens. 2: Dogey downloads. I tried to download the FREE version of arma 2 (off the proper website), i do everything correcty, type product key, it installs, and at the final bit where it should complete it says it hasn't installed properly, and i type into start menu 'arma' nothing comes up so it hasnt downloaded. My pc isn't particularly old and idk what the problem is. I tried using different mirrors, all fail to install properly. If anyone can give me suggestions how to solve these problems i would be VERY grateful. Please very simple language (computer wise) as i am not good at all with pcs. In general my pc seems laggy, have to wait afew seconds before i can press 'search' on google, and stuff like that. I have norton anti virus and i update my pc so i dont really know what it could be. PC specs ( from 'Can you run it') CPU: You Have: AMD Athlon™ II X4 620 Processor CPU speed: You Have: 2.6 GHz RAM:You Have: 2.6 GHz OS:You Have: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 64-bit vIDEO CARD: You Have: GeForce G210

After numerous struggles it downloaded, and i got it to work lagg free on low, adjusting some settings :) Downloading CO as we speak. How long will it take to download with 200kb /sec

Sorry for bothering you (again!) but when you say create a restore point you mean create one which will be JUST before i clear the cookies, or at an earlier period in time (maybe 1 year ago), and why is this needed?

4.1gb RAM, what does this affect?

And i didn't know where to post it sorry :L I can't help it if i have a great passion to play this mod it looks SO fun

Ok thanks... i got flashplayer working i had disabled an add on which was required for it. Ive just got more and more junk on my pc slowing it down, you think a system recovery to like a year ago would be appropriate. For example i have many folders which are empty that cannot be deleted etc. Without being polite you can tell me if my pc's settings are rubbish, on a budget of £50-100 what would you suggest id buy to improve my pc's performance as much as possible to run dayz as well as i can (i acknowledge the fact i won't be running it on max settings)

Thisis a desktop, and what is GPU and how can i be improved, and more importantly, price??? I did 'can yo ru it' and it said i can run it , almost on recomended settings.

Hmm ok, doesn't sound good, but you agree it's best to get these problems sorted before i attempt to download arma 2 off steam? Because if that doesn't install properly and i waste £15 i would go mad !

Yeah im doing that now, just i thought people are quit good with computers here, but point acknowledged :)

bump , please someone help

As the title says i really want to play Dayz, and am tempted to buy Arma 2 CO for £15 on steam. From what i've gathered the SA was emant to be released in 2012, but wasn't, so will it be released in jan 13? Just deciding whether to wait for the SA or if it's going to take more than 2 months to buy CO and get the mod

I tried downloading arma 2 free but the downlaod didn't work, right at the end after i typed in the product key it said it ddint isntall properly, help?

shoul i download this to get to know the controls??

But aren't the controls the same on dayz as on arma 2?? Couldnt i download arma 2 JUST to learn the controls, even though it is a different game?

What does lowering the graphics settings do? and which aspect of my pc is the bit dragging it down, so in other words if icould improve 1 area e.g. graphics card what would it be to make it run as good as possible
