Ok so i had this problem too, i downloaded the full game from steam and installed it all but when i loaded the game i joined a server and had the loading screen, what i did wrong was i DIDN'T install the beta as it correctly lists in the instructions listed below. Install the beta which is mentioned in the install insructions (i thought having the full game this wouldn't be an issues - IT IS!)
So i compiled the instructions from that site into an easy to understand and follow summary below:
Before you click the download links please check wheather you installed the game from steam or from retail IT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE, Then read the instructions below accordingly.
2. If you are met with a "Password screen" then choose the top version on page (Not in the green field)
3. Go to the Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead directory (for example C:\Program Files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead) and right-click -> edit on .cmd file "_runA2CO_beta.cmd". Search for ":run" near the end of the file. Add ";@dayz" without quotes to "-mod=%_ARMA2PATH%;EXPANSION;ca".
4. Run "_runA2CO_beta.cmd" and enjoy playing!
You may create a new shortcut to "_runA2CO_beta.cmd"
NOTE: Remember to install DayZ MOD before launching the game!
AFTER you install the beta you will need to open the Six launcher and click verify if you haven't already becuase it needs to verify the version you installed
HOPE THIS HELPED!!!
okay so once i download the beta patch do i drag it into my ARMA2OA/@dayz/addons and then extract it? Or do i just download the patch and leave it alone?
