Yeah, I tried something interesting this play through, I found a dead guy who had a nice set up, so took it and found myself near Zeribeno or whatever. Well, considering it was night time, I figured it would be nice to have a fire, so I made one, but made it rather easy to spot from every distance. I took up position with my Winchester a little farther away, but still in range. I see a guy come up, in full Ghuillies, and for some reason he was talking over his mic. Lol, the guy said "Fuck, you got lucky bitch" sorry for the language, but un censored quotes are the best. So, considering I figured he was a bandit, I shot him in his leg, he of course gets a broken leg. I walk up to him, while taking my hatchet out. At this point, I feel a strange sense of satisfaction as to seeing the sick being that would hunt a player for items in such pain. So, with a quick "You earned this death" (Yes I practiced what I would say to a bandit) I chopped him to death and got some nice loot. Same day, joined a server that had a random "Death match mode" Didn't know what it was, died in like three seconds. Still happy with my accomplishment, the guy had it coming.

My experience so far, now that I have got it running, is quite amusing. The game itself has fun mechanics, and it's really rather immersive, what with the proximity chat and all. So my first experience, at least in terms of learning the hard way to not trust anyone, is this. I was fleeing from about twenty zombies, when I happen upon a ranch. I see another survivor being chased by one, he simply calls out in a chipper english accent "Oi mate, I'm a friendly! Come with me!" So I follow him into the building he resides in, and the zombies come in. Not having a weapon, the man shoots down a couple zombies, while I state that I am going to go upstairs and find a weapon. He then proceeds to come up stairs and says "sorry mate, every man for themselves, ya know?" He then unloads with a fully auto gun on me. Great experience, I have learned much from that little exchange, and will play accordingly. xD

I think the issue was simply the fact that I have the Amazon version, I've tried every method out there, all to no avail. Going to try steam installation, which seems like it will be easier.

Well, I'm going to get the steam version, as it seems the easiest possible way.

Would it be easier to just have the steam version?

I have, and I still haven't gotten any results :( I haven't been able to find a guide for the Six launcher anyhow.

I have as well, honestly I think I might wait until they release beta so it's easier to install.

I bet it would be more worth it to wait for a beta, considering the mod installation seems all too impossible for me. I would love to play this mod, but can't get passed the giant wall of failed attempts.

So are you saying that you copied the Addons folder from Arma 2 and put it into your OA directory instead?

So like the giant noob that I am, I bought my copy from Amazon. I have been trying to get this mod to work for days now, and have been met with failure each time. I followed the installation for retail instructions on this forum a thousand times, and I get the error "CA_Dubbing_Countersrike" I imagine this has something to do with combined ops? So here is my question, is there an extremely detailed fool-proof method to get Dayz to work for me lol? Every time I get into the game, all the servers have red X's so I'm not all that sure what I'm doing wrong. I've downloaded all the current files, the current beta and such, now I just need to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Also, just as a precaution to failure, is my Arma 2 folder supposed to be in regular Program files? My Arma 2 OA is in the X86 program files folder, are they supposed to be in the same program file area? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm not all that savy with extensive mod work, but I would quite like to play this Mod XD
