I had troubles with downloading the .msi installer from their website. I had to find a 3rd party site to get it from. IDK if it is becuase I am running a 64 bit system. Manually updating isnt too bad.
So I took it into my own liberty to try and get the game to work properly after buying Arma 2 complete collection a couple DayZ ago. hehe I was having issues with DayZ not loading any servers or telling me that I cannot connect to said servers because I was running the wrong patch. This all was done through Steam! I tinkered for a long time last night and finally loaded a couple different servers. Got my butt kicked testing video setting but eh ow well. #1 Ok load the entire game Arma 2 first then all of the expansion packs and start a game of campaign in each one. #2 Download the DayZ mod from Steam. #3 When it finishes downloading right click it in the library and choose properties. #4 Go to beta section on the far right and dropdown to select the most recent beta patch. #5 Check back to the game and watch for it to update fairly quickly. Once done run the DayZ game and see if you can connect to a server. Give it a couple of tries and you should be good as I am now... Any questions I will be on this thread for a while just ask em and I will see if I can help.... Good Luck from CallMeSIZ
