I can't guarantee it either, especially since I have yet to get into a server without errors, but I noticed people in another thread saying that smart bandits should just hide out until they are back to normal if they don't want to get killed by others.

I had already done most of that and more, but downloaded new files and tried again anyway. I get an error upon joining that says I am missing required DLC files that were deleted or are missing. They are: dayz_code, dayz_weapons, dayz_vehicles, dayz_equip However all of those files are there. I tried running both OA by itself, and Combined Operations. Steam is set to run as administrator as well. I will try setting both of the exes to run as admin as well and try again. I have read every post in the support forums that is anywhere close to my problem and tried dozens of things with no luck. Hopefully I can figure this out soon D= EDIT:: Well while I have still been searching all of the other threads and attempting various fixes, I noticed the code file updated again a little bit ago (second time in an hour or so lol) so I installed that. Now not only do I get the error about missing code, weapons, vehicles, and equip the game also crashes right after I see that in chat. EDIT AGAIN:: Noticed the servers said they were running on 1.4.17 so I reverted back from 18, especially since the devs didn't even add 18 to the new download page. Still getting the same errors. Out of solutions. I have read nearly every support thread, even the ones that do not pertain to my issue, just as something to do and for the slim chance of finding a fix in one of them. I guess there is nothing left to do but read everything on the forums and prepare myself for eventual gameplay hopefully sometime today. I will keep checking back to this thread often as well as checking for new support threads in general. I can't see what files would be wrong, so I will update the OP with my system specs. Maybe someone will see a problem between them and the mod/game. EDIT::::Still here. Been 6 hours. Still trying everything that I possibly can. Got some good sounding solutions on another website but none of them worked. Been trying everything I can find on the internet without luck. Anyone got an idea? I keep updating as they are posted, currently on 1.4.22. Still getting: "You cannot play/edit this mission because it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted. dayz_code, dayz_weapons, dayz_equip, dayz_vehicles" Once that is fixed I should be good. I managed to glimpse what I assume to be the screen you see when you get into the server, but I always get kicked from the whole "You cannot play/edit this mission because it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted. dayz_code, dayz_weapons, dayz_equip, dayz_vehicles" right after I finish connecting. PROBLEM SOLVED ITSELF.

When I try that command prompt opens for a brief moment, spits out some stuff, then closes and nothing happens. I check my processes as well, nothing is running for arma after I try to launch combined from steam. EDIT:: While searching the internet for Combined Ops errors, I realized something. I have yet to even start up Arma II, which means it has not yet done its first time config / setup / registry stuff. Doing that now, then maybe COps will work. EDIT AGAIN:: Never mind, I can't run plain ARMA II. It crashes and says: "Bad serial number given during startup"..... /////////////////////////////////////////////////NEW POST ///////////////////////////////////////////////// To fix the serial number error I had to restart steam as administrator, and now I can run combined operations. However now I am getting an error when I try to join that I am missing and have deleted: dayz_code, dayz_weapons, dayz_vehicles, dayz_equip However all of those files are still in the multitude of locations listed in the OP.
