i dont know if it matters. i directed it all to install to my f:\ instead. so my root is f:\bohemia interactive. my f:\ is just a back up drive i have. so i would imagine it wouldnt matter. if it was me id put them both on x86 if you were gonna pick one or the other.

here is what i had to do uninstall everythying install arma 2 disc - install operation arrowhead disc *** my o.s. was seperating them into different folders - make sure they are going into the same bohemia interactive root folder *** run combined operations icon from desktop, get to mp menu and leave game. update to newest arma 2 patch install beta patch create dayz folder and addons folder inside arma folder install files into addons folder edit beta shortcut folder to add the -mod=@dayz to the end of the target launch mine worked bfore i went to work.

i actually read through that "install guide" and even though it is explaining the retail version install it still references a steam file structure in it. i quit reading after that. ill patch and go from there. thanks! here is where i think my problem stems from: 4) Make a folder named "@DayZ" in your Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead directory. what exactly is the "Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead directory"?? i dont have one of those. i do have a bohemia interactive folder where i installed everything.

what the subject says. i am no going on my 4th install attempt with retail version. do i need to update arma2 operation arrowhead with newest patch (1.60) before proceeding to install beta patch and than day z files?

i believe the game patched itself. than i installed beta patch after. can anyone who has installed retail version of the game confirm to me if their install has gone into 2 different folders like mine did. arma2 in my programfiles and o.a. in my programfilesx86 i am reinstalling for the 3rd time but manually selecting the folders so they both go into the same bohemia interactive folder vs into 2 different ones.

so i re-installed all over again, 3rd time no luck. same problem. i did notice one thing i found odd. my arma2 main folder is in programfilesx86 my operation arrowhead is in programfiles 2 different directories, one in 32bit and one in 64bit. is this normal? i continue to get the error message about files not being signed by a key accepted on this server. wtf?

so i: 1.) installed arma 2 - launched game, got to the mp menu and left 2.) installed operation arrowhead - launched game, got to the mp menu and left 3.) downloaded newest arma 2 beta patch that was at the top of the screen in the green field from (http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php ) - installed beta patch 4.) went into arma 2 main folder and found "launch arma2 OA beta patch" shortcut (( in the directions it says to go into the arma2:OA main directory however i just have ARMA 2 folder. 5.) right clicked said file and adjusted the target to read "-mod=@dayz" at the end of the existing target. 6.) i then downloaded the newest dayz mod files. 7.) created new folder labeled @dayz inside my main arma 2 folder 8.) inside the @dayz folder i made another folder named Addons 9.) i moved all files over to Addons 10.) i launched game using the "Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch" icon inside my main arma 2 folder that i just edited the target, 11.) i get 2 the arma screen with day z under arma logo and correct version number 12.) i launch server - get kicked without reason right away 13.) launch again - get same error messages as before after re-installing everything followed install steps from : http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_install_DayZ#ARMA2_Beta_patch what did i do wrong? the only thing i can think of is that i dont think i ran the ARMA2 combined operations game all in one from the desktop after completing install of both arma2 and O.A. - did that mess up my install?

i did yes. i have uninstalled it all. i just finished arma 2, i opened the game and got the the mp menu. exited out. i am now installing operation arrowhead.

i dont think so. i am using six launcher, validating at the beginning and than trying to join any day z server in the browser. i have uninstalled everything including six launcher. i am re-installing. should i go through steam / six launcher or what?

desert_e.pbo dubbing radio.pbo languagmissions.pbo core.pbo i deleted the first ones but now there are more.

When joining server i get "a list of about 3/4 paths to specific files within the install and at the bottom it says "are not signed by a key accepted on this server. to play on this server remove listed files or install additional accepted keys" any idea what this is about? i bought a "brand new" copy of arma 2 combined operations from gamestop today. i say "brand new" as it was the floor copy so it was open box however they said the actual cd has stayed behind the counter from day 1 and never been used.
