    I just posted this in a different section.

    Look, Download the v1.7.2.1 test patch, Place the here, In my case its > D:\Game Installs\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ\addons ... Create a folder called "@DayZ" inside your operation arrowhead folder then inside the "@DayZ" folder create another called "addons" Copy the v1.7.2.1 test into the "addons" folder.

    Download the latest ARMA II 94700 beta patch from here(right at the top inside the green bar is the latest version) > http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php Once downloaded, Extract the files, Right click the file named "ARMA2_OA_Build_94700" & run this as administrator.

    Then download this file named "DayZbeta" > http://dayz.sykotix....ds/DayZbeta.zip Extract it & place the "DayZbeta" batch file onto your 2 operation arrowhead folder, Like this > D:\Game Installs\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead.

    Ok now create a shortcut of the "DayZbeta" file onto your desktop and use this to launch the game, What this "DayZbeta" batch file does its basically tells ARMA II to run the latest beta version, In this current case beta patch v94700. Ive only tested this on my Steam version of the game but it runs fantastic for me, Ive been using this method for, You will notice a DOS window opens, Its fine to just close this also your game may start windowed, Just hold Alt and press enter to make it full screen.

    When you start the game in the bottom right of your screen you should notice you are now running the latest ARMA II beta patch.

    Thank you! I'll start this right now.

    Does the game actually minimize itself upon joining a server, i noticed you said it was black after clicking it in the taskbar, and "bringing it back up" ?

    No it doesn't I've been trying this all day, when I click a server it will load up go all black then back to my desktop then ill try again when its in my taskbar but it will keep bringing the black screen up, it fades in and out. its so frustarting..

    Make sure you have launched both ArmA 2 and ArmA 2 OA before using sixlauncher, if you arent using steam, make sure all redis are installed aswell.

    Yeah I've launched both and they both open just fine. its just whenever I try to find a server it goes black and and the Arma OA icon is at the bottom and every time I click it to try to pull the game up it just keeps giving me a black screen...

    Close Steam, then right click it and Run As Administrator. Once loaded. right click ARMA 2 and choose "Properties". On one of the tabs, there is an option to "Verify Integrity". Use that option.

    Alright I'm doing it now with it, Should I do it with Arma 2 OA as well?

    It said one file failed and said to be reacquired. Didn't say which file tho

    Hello all. So I have the latest update that just came out, have the Day Z updater as well. But everytime I try to get Arma 2 to start up with Arma 2 OA.. Arma 2 gives me an error saying "Bad serial number given in setup" I bought the games off of Steam, I know I don't have to enter a serial code so I have no idea why it is doing this. If anyone could possibly help me get Day Z running would be awesome. I've been trying to figure this out for a week now..and still nothing.
