Ok, then if i say that you wont be able to play Dayz on high setting, will that answer youre question? Why you say, Its youre hardware. Very few laptops can run Dayz on HIGH settings, (with playable fps)

This: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3986 Yes im sure you can do it, but will it run as you wish?...that im not sure of that

I belive you have switchable graphic on that laptop, the on board Intel HD 3000 + youre dedicated nVidia gtx 555M. Is there a way to turn off the on board gfx (intel HD), sometimes if come across computers that throotle down and use the onboard gfx instead of the dedicated (moore powerful gfx) when gaming. Also check youre powersaving settings, when gaming always use the powercord plugged inn,and have the powersettings at MAX power,no saving. If you dont need powersaving features, just disable the onboard gfx and have a go.

You know, it would be easier for you to reinstall windows, if you havent tried that already, something is messed up, and possibly something is blocking or is damage due to unknown reasons. You had it working before you say, was it on youre current OS? If yes, try reinstall windows. (If you have a windows cd/usb disk that is)

Something is blocking youre access to the arma 2 game for sure. Do you have any brothers /sister or perents who control the router gateway, im pretty sure its a connection problem. Have you tried open up some ports on youre router? For arma 2 OA its port 2302-2305 udp incoming and 2303-2304 outgoing.

Needs moore tweaking.....

Any Progress on this?

Doors,doorways,even tents have a bad habbit of breaking a leg or two. This is Dayz,welcome to ALPHA testing, have patience and DONT get attached to youre gear.

You are running windows 7? If so, on youre homescreen, click start, then in the searchbox type UAC---> click it (User Access Control) then you get a new window with "User Account Control Settings" Pull the slidebar all the way down to "Never notify" In that way you get rid of a few seciurity roadblocks, now try uninstall and reinstall Dayz commander. Put the slider back up when youre done, the slider is there for a reason. Can you just try this, and make sure youre a admin on youre computer, also run Ccleaner while you are at it, it wont hurt :)

Laptop...right? You can force it in the nVidia controlpanel And when gaming,always play plugged inn, meaning play games while powercord is plugged inn.

How is the progress going?

i subbed this one, ill check in later today to see youre progress... you can do this :)

...and check youre cpu cooling too,too much dust or a faulty fan can mess up youre day

The proper way to get everything working as easy as it can be is: RUN STEAM AS A ADMIN. 1. Install Arma 2 from steam, BEFORE you run the game,right click on the Arma 2 shortcut in youre steam games library--->properties--->Local files---> verify intergrity of game cache,click that and let it finish (it will pro download a single file or two) After this is done, just start arma2 -click play game, let it load up until the startupscreen, then close the game, you do not need to start singleplayer or any multiplayer games...just close it. Then do the same with Arma 2 OA, same steps,in that same order. After that is done, do NOT install Dayz from steam, instead download a fresh copy of Dayz commander Install Dayz commander, go to the Install/update tab and install the betapatch and the Dayz mod from there Filter youre search, choose youre server and play..... it should be this easy with the right steps...

Youre dayz commander cant detect any games or youre Arma II directory, thats the issue here. It cant detect youre Dayz location. Have you tried run dayz from within youre steam folder? ex. program files--->Steam--->Steamapps--->Common--->Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead folder Navigate to that folder, you should also have youre Dayz folder there (@Dayz) If you have installed the betapatch for Arma 2 OA,rightclick on that .exe add "-mod=dayz -nosplash" without the quotes in youre target box at the end Also try read here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1808-guide-installation-guide-steam-retail-mixed-beta-common-errors/

Whats youre GPU and driverversion?

hm, either you have something blocking youre game (firewall/antivirus) or Dayz commander is unable to find youre game location. This is how that tab should look like: Reinstall dayz commander and try run it as "Administrator" (rightclick the .exe)

Just play the game in ANY way you want,you make youre story....isent that beautiful :) EDIT:...went retard for a sec,im ok now

Can you show us a pic of the Install/update tab in youre Dayz commander aswell

You got the money it seems so why not, and youre cpu would be The i7 4770K (3,5ghz and with turbo 3,9ghz) thats a quadcore with hypertrading, or if gaming is youre main priority the i5 4670K (3,4ghz and with turbo 3,8ghz) is youre best bet. The "K" models are unlocked so you can easily overclock them....with proper cpu-cooling that is. EDIT: 2T of hdd is nice, but i would suggest a SSD (128GB -256GB) for youre Windows,it will give you a faster and moore snappy feel for youre OS and everyday tasks.

Youre a bad bad boy BigDog...awesome :D

Can you list youre components so we know what kind of cpu you can buy, is it socket 1155? 1150 or 2011? need some moore info ..thx

Thats my boy right there :D

Simply maybe NOT, but yea you can try.... :D

Come play, dont waste youre chanse to kill MR Jack Burton :D
