You don't need Steam, you can use retail on its own. Just follow the guidelines in this thread under RETAIL INSTALLATION section: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2421

Steam/1.5.7 User has modified missions file error!
fox808 replied to six30two's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Delete all DayZ files, download them again and reinstall the mod. -
I had a similar problem but it was server side. Some servers just kept restarting over and over again. Are you sure it's client side ?

[GUIDE] Installation Guide (Steam, Retail, Mixed, Beta, Common Errors)
fox808 replied to fox808's topic in New Player Discussion
Try this Dyboyl: 1) Go to your Arma 2 folder, copy the addons folder and paste it inside the OA folder. 2) Follow the instructions on how to set up @DayZ files 3) Start OA, go to expansions and enable @DayZ and Arma2 You will lack hi-res textures and may experience bugs if you are using the free version though. -
Unable to launch game: Command Prompt popup
fox808 replied to Ecro's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
You can ignore CABuildingParts popup. When you try to join any multiplayer games, what's happening ? Any error messages ? -
Launch Operation Arrowhead from steam and select the option to re-install BattlEye Anti-Cheat client. If you are using retail download the latest version form http://www.battleye.com/download.html and put it in a folder named "BattlEye" in the "Expansion" folder of your Arma2:OA main directory. Please post in the troubleshooting section next time: http://dayzmod.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=10

Not sure if you can download it from anywhere else. You should have received the download link when you bought the game, so I can't really help you there. You can try contacting STEAM support etc. if it's not working. You can also try official BIS forums as this is not really DayZ related: http://forums.bistudio.com/

'Verify integrity of game cache' checks for corrupted game data and fixes it. Are you running the game on STEAM, retail or using any other program/option to launch the game ?
-
Right click on British Armed Forces or Private Military Company when looking at STEAM library list and click 'Install Game...' That's about it.
-
Character2.pbo and Dubbing.pbo are not part of the DayZ mod. Are you sure you are not running any other mods at the same time? Also try: Right click ARMA 2 in STEAM - 'Properties' - 'Local Files' - 'Verify integrity of game cache'.
-
You don't need Reinforcements to play DayZ. Only Arma 2: Combined Operations (Arma2 + Operation Arrowhead).
-
So many people are trying to join the servers are dying. You can try again later or choose a different server. I'm afraid there's nothing else you can do at this point.
-
Are you using STEAM or retail version ? Also make sure you unpack the files after downloading them. I get 'You cannot play/edit this mission, it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.dayz_code, dayz_weapons, dayz_equip etc.'upon joining any DayZ server. - You installed the mod or the shortcut incorrectly. Make sure you add "-mod=@dayz" without quotes in the launch options and DayZ mod files are installed in the proper folder. By default: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ\Addons"

Try re-installing BattlEye client: - Launch Operation Arrowhead from steam and select the option to re-install BattlEye Anti-Cheat client. If you are using retail download the latest version form http://www.battleye.com/download.html and put it in a folder named "BattlEye" in the "Expansion" folder of your Arma2:OA main directory.

Yes Disgraced, your directory structure looks fine (it should be in Arma2:OA). It should be working fine from what you said. You can try launching the game from the Arma2:OA directory directly: 1) Right click on ArmA2:OA.exe 2) Create shortcut 3) Right click on the shortcut - properties 4) Add "-mod=@dayz" without the quotes to the target line 5) Run the shortcut

Try reinstalling BattlEye again Toran. If STEAM Launch Operation Arrowhead from steam and select the option to re-install BattlEye Anti-Cheat client. If retail download it from http://www.battleye.com/download.html and put it in: ArmA 2: Put these files into a folder called "BattlEye" in your ArmA 2 install directory. OA: Put these files into a folder called "BattlEye" in the "Expansion" folder of your OA install directory -
Possible problems: - Forgot to extract the mod files. - Had the mod files in the wrong directory. - Added the wrong target line in the shortcut.
-
Your folder structure should look like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ\Addons You put all DayZ files inside Addons folder, add "-mod=@DayZ" to the target line and you are good to go.

Rocket was talking about implementing temperature and being able to freeze to death etc. Maybe in the next patch... *dreams*

#1 in EU now. Beats Max Payne 3, Skyrim and Cowaduty. Impressive.

TakeOnH.exe is from 'Take On Helicopters' game made by Bohemia. Are you sure you are pointing it at the correct Arma2:OA folder ? You need to look for Arma2OA.exe -

Arma2:Free is not supported as far as I know. Some people got it working with the free version but it doesn't mean it will continue to work in the future + you will get only low-res textures and may experience bugs. Combined Operations doesn't cost much AND you are supporting the developers.
