ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally completed the process, a think it was just down to a few teething problems my end, some bad advice early on from other sources and reading lots of conflicting information of the internet. I jumped into my first epoch server today, and last a jolly good 10 minutes!!!! :) Thanks for everyones help on this, i manually downloaded epoch which seems to be a lot quick that thedayz launcher - just terrible terrible download speeds and when trying to get help from the source website (still havent been verified by the admins so i can post on the website, so my advice to anyone else is dont bother with that) Hope to bump into a few of you guys along my travels (player name slightly rapey) and remember, im just a bambi :D so take it easy on me. Again many many thanks to all those above for bearing with me and offering support

to download the dayz mod manually (via torrent) do i need to download all 3 files at the top? That being : Full Download: Client Files: http://cdn.dayz.nu/l...cf6dbd-Full.rar Server Files: http://se1.dayz.nu/l...cf6dbd-Full.rar Mission File: http://se1.dayz.nu/l...7.chernarus.pbo Sorry for being a bit of a noob on this. You may have seen my thread in new player discussion, if so you will know im having a little trouble with the mod's atm. thanks

i think my problem is that, as im running arrowhead through steam i ideally need to use dayz launcher - but as my OP the download speed is rediculous. It will take me 4 days at this rate just to download the mods. Ive looked into my arrowhead file and there is a folder called: _DZC_Cache which is presume is the folder created when downloading from dayz commander, when i open this there are two further folders: DayZ and DayzEpoch but again upon opening these 2 folders they contain nothing. Looks like I HAVE to use the dayz Launcher but as above the slow DL speed. I did download these last night via launcher without a problem, but deleted the files due to some bad advice and some problems (teething really i think) so started to re-download them today via launcher and thats where the problems started. Lap top thrown out of window??????? Me thinks that may happen soon :)

ok, so downloaded the dayz & epoch mod files from dayz commander, latest versions. Ive pasted the following into launch options on arrowhead: "-mod=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 2;EXPANSION;ca" "-mod=@DayzOverwatch;@DayZ_Epoch1051" -nosplash --noPause but when i load arrowhead i get the normal tank picture and the plase wait screen, rather than the Epoch please wait loading screen. I removed the launch options, tried to load the game again, and again the tank loading screen appears but when i get to the main menu screen, there is a little note top right of screen RE epoch. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=295067897 I try to join the server my friend is playing on, starts to load and get the following message: http://tinypic.com/r/34temhh/8 Can anyone help me with this issue as its driving me completly nuts, beyond nuts thanks

yeah ive been told that dayz commander still works, im on with that now, will let you know how it goes, thanks for your time

hi all, thanks for taking the time to read my topic. As the title im a little confused to say the least. So ive just purchased Arma 2 combined ops (with arrowhead) with the intention to play epoch firstly. After watcjing a few youtube videos and having a quick browse on the forums (cant say i did real in depth reading to tell the truth). Can across several pieces of information that said download daz commander, download the mod files and away you go. So i did this and came across a few problems, mainly being kicked from the server due to battle eye. I spoke to a fellow gamer on one of my teamspeaks who advised me that 1. Dayz commander is now useless (great stuff) and 2. download dayz launcher. Also mentioned that possibly i should turn my macafee off as this may be causing a battle eye issue. So yesterday I downloaded dayz launcher and thought great im a few steps away from the zombie horde..........certainly not the case. I downloaded a few last night without a problem, my friend launches his operation arrowhead through steam, finds a server and I try to join him through steam, I received a rather large error messgae upon trying to join his server, at the bottom of the error message it said something about me not having the correct file or something (sorry I dont have a screen shot of this). He advised me to maybe delete all the downloaded mods and try again which I did. Ive tried to download the Dayz mod and epoch mod from dayz launcher and today and OMG at this rate i will be 100 years old before they download. I think the best DL speed ive encountered is 100 kb/s. I ran a speed check and im running at 40 MB so i dont believe its an issue at my end. Currently attmepting to download Epoch again and DL speed is 1.8KB/s at the time of typing this thread. Now Im sort of new to the whole PC gaming thing, so im not really the PC talk type of guy, but at present i feel i need to be Bill Gates to understand what the F is going on. So my question(s) is can anyone offer me any advice, if im going about trying to aquire the mods in the correct way, and if so, why the hell is dayz launcher diving me a DL speed equivalent to dial up from 20 years ago?? Any help is much appreciated, i do appologise if there is many a thread on this, I'm sort of at my wits end as to whats going on and what i have to do, i think ive had the longest headache in history. I just would like a discussion started within my thread for some live information that I can ask relevent questions to MY problems. Thanks for your time reading this and look forward to any replies received. Like i said i do have teamspeak so if anyone would be willing to talk me through this, and has the patience to deal with a PC noob then feel free to give me a nudge on that.
