ID: Oracle(sunacorpse) I don't use Steam for playing Dayz though. Comm: TS3 Survivors: I tend to ignore other players unless they fire at me first. Weapon: Sniper rifle or Assault rifle Skills: Good aim even though the buggy zombie animation is pretty hard to get a hit on. Good scavenger, I know the best places to head in search of weapons and supplies in the least time. Location: UK

Having just managed to get Arma up and running again and with none of my rl friends playing, I'm looking for any group/clan that I can join at nights for a bit of DayZ. I'm Scottish so a lot of you may not understand me, I'd prefer to communicate via Skype (lol_shirra), I'm 21 and currently full time employed so I won't be available monday to friday during the day. So i'm looking for just a group or clan who are up for a laugh just gathering gear and fighting bandits, nothing strict.

Ok, so I installed Arma 2, ran it, then downloaded OA and since I previously had it on steam (uninstalled), and deleted all folders i got the message "do you want to re-install" I installed and when I launched the game it just goes into arma 2 even though it says "arma 2 oa" when I mouse over the desktop icon. After installing the icon I get is combined operations, which is confusing DayZ commander, Arma 2 0a has installed itself within the arma 2 folder, so I tried overriding my directory to the same folder to update OA, it says arma 2 oa is not installed, i tried patching manually, also said arma 2 is not installed. I'm at a complete loss as to what is going wrong. Please help.

Cheers, I found a single Arma 2 folder, deleted that, I've checked and rechecked steamapps folder in my C drive to make sure folders there are gona, I've deleted all Bohemia folders I can find. I'll redownload Arma 2 tomorrow and give it one last try. If not then I've watsed 16 quid lol.

Searched for %APPDATA% can't find it

I uninstalled it from steam over a month ago. I'll give that a try, but it keeps trying to install OA within the Arma 2 folder instead of its own folder, and once it has installed I get a Combined Operations icon and for some reason nothing can find my Arma 2 OA game even though its blatantly there, I've tried manually patching like I said with no success. Is this supposed to happen?

I haven't got my steam version installed, I uninstalled it like 5 months ago, then reinstalled a month ago but unstalled it again. I've deleted all OA files within steam. and the retail version I have is 1.59.

Every time I uninstall then re-install it keeps saying "Arma 2 OA already installed. would you like to reinstall game?" but I don't have it installed, what is causing this? I uninstalled and restarted once and still got this message.

I've reinstalled OA a couple of times and after each time it finishes it says "this version of ArmA 2 (1.60) is more recent than the previous (1.59)" or something, basically i'm installing a newer version, yet its still not the most recent version?

Yea but I randomly got a Global Ban on my steam version, I read that people have been getting key's stolen so I guess this happened to me. I have since installed arma OA in a seperate folder and tried changing Six's and Commanders path locations to the folder and both still refuse to recognise OA is there.
