Try Installing Direct X 9. The reason why you might be getting this issue is because direct x is not backwards compatible, this means that DxX11 my not support DX 9 games. Both these version s can be installed side by side with no interference so you don't need to be concerned about affecting your newer version of Direct x. Hope this helps.

Beta patch 94945 is causing serious issues for dayz users. To fix the issues roll your beta build back to 94876 that can be found here http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php/ . Hope this helps, you can come look at Rapiers and my thread here http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/30306-armax-problems-thread/ if you have any further issues =)

Just a quick heads up guys. I tried updating to arma2 94945 last night with no joy, got stuck on "loading" or "waiting for character to create" screens. The only fix that I know of is rolling back to beta 94876.

Good to see everything is running smoothly for you Roboderg :D

============================ Update on current patch install ============================ For all steam user's updating to the latest patch is a simple as replacing the files in the @Dayz folder with the V1.7.2.3 files that can be found on the Dayz website. From what I can see you want to leave the Arma 2 beta patch on V94876. Please hold on a little longer for information on updating the Non-steam version, rapier is currently in the process of updating and will post an update here once he has finished. If you are having any issues updating please post here or pm rapier or me. ==== Edit ==== The servers also appear to take longer to load you into the game, because of this you may have to wait longer on both the loading and waiting for character to create screens.

What error message are you getting and can you tell me what files you have replaced? Did you open six launcher? Because Six launcher will break manual installs.

Here are the files you need, Robserg. What you need to do is run the beta patcher. Then extract the flies in the "Addons" RAR and drag and drop them into your @dayz folder.

Np rapier<3, Don't be drinking too much tho I don't fancy another DMR round flying past my head like the other night, glad you realized it was me before you fired the second shot!!

Firstly I would like to say thanks to rapier<3 for creating this thread and allowing me to create a steam version for those who need it, I think you have earned yourself a tin of beans :beans: (but he did over exaggerate a little about blocking myself from me own email :P) Oh btw guys SE 3 is a great beta server that you should be able to play on after you have installed everything :) If you have any questions don't hesitate to post in the thread or pm me! ========= Disclaimer ========= Neither rapier<3 or I are responsible for any lose, damage or miss-altering of any files, folders or applications that relate to Arma2, Arma2 operation arrowhead or anything else that has been, is currently or will be on your computer at any time. Both these guides worked for us as of the time they where created, If however they do not work for you we will try our best to help you as soon as we can :)
