POSIPJ

I would open up Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead in Steam, and try to join a server, I would always get an error saying I couldn't play/edit the mission whatever etc. Everybody's seen this message, nothing new. Then I try clicking the Launch Using Steam option in DayZ Commander, then I just keep getting Bad Version, Server Rejected Connection. Then I clicked Replace Original Arma2OA files with Beta so Steam works. Sweet! I can join the game... Nah, I get kicked immediately. So when I uncheck both of the Lauch Using Steam options, I still get kicked out of every game. As far as running both games in Steam first, and manually installing the latest patch, it's all been done. What's up? I'm just ready for the standalone. Hopefully nobody will have to deal with this bullshit then.

Alright, so I know this is a pretty talked about subject when it comes to playing this game, but I've honestly spent a month trying to get a good FPS in this game, and still end up just settling for crap. It's pretty decent in open fields, but when I get into towns and around buildings, it drops to like 5-7. My processor (Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 @ 2.33GHz) graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT) and 6 GB of RAM is enough to be able to run this game smoothly, especially since I have all the graphics intensive settings disabled. I've set the settings to what people have recommended in NVIDIA Control Panel to get max performance, and I've even changed the Arma2OA.cfg file, as well as "Mouse Smoothing" and "Shading Quality" in my profile. I've tried the DayZ files on a RAMDisk, and overriding the DayZ directory to run off of that RAMDisk in DayZ Commander and still get the same results. I'm running out of ideas on what to do. I'm thinking it's my hard drive, and I need to save up money to go ahead and get an SSD, but if anybody might know what's going on, please let me know, I'd appreciate it a ton.

Nah, no music or anything is going or anything like that. Like I said, my CPU usage is only at about 30-50 percent.

CPU usage is between 30% and 60% in my resource monitor, my disk is the one that jumps around everywhere. My RAM is fine, and yes I have a 64-Bit operating system so it utilizes the 6 GB that I have if that's what you mean.

Good to know. Appreciate it!

So, to fix the whole CA_whatever whatever errors, I used DayZ Commander to update Arma 2 to the latest patch, and download Lingor Island. DayZ Commander automatically puts the files where they need to go, so there's no need to do it manually. You can check and make sure it put them in the right places if you'd like. Okay, well, since I'm pretty much stupid when it comes to Steam, I completely forgot to run Steam as an administrator, verify my game caches (I don't know if that's necessary but it doesn't take long and it doesn't hurt) and launch Arma 2, Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, and Arma 2: Combine Operations to finish doing the update. Yeah, you have to launch all three separately. I don't know why you have to do that just so it can tell you that you have a bad serial number even though you bought the game from the program you're launching it off, but whatever. A small price to pay to enjoy a rad game like DayZ. I did copy and paste the AddOns folder located in your Arma 2 (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2) into the Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead) Again, I really don't think that's necessary but it can't hurt. Then in Steam, I right clicked Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, went to properties, clicked "Set Launch Options..." and copied and pasted this in the box. "-mod=@dayz_lingor_island;@dayz_lingor -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -winxp -nosplash -world=empty -maxmem=2047 -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7" thanks Goodrita. Then I just double-clicked Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead in steam, selected "Launch Combine Operations" and I didn't get the error. So it ended up being a simple fix that I made way more complicated than it should have been. Hopefully that works for everyone. Yeah Byrgesen, just posting the solution was a lot easier than having people message me so I could tell them that. I wasn't thinking and I was in a rush. Let me know if that works for you guys though, although I think I was the last idiot to figure out how to make it work. :P

Alright, I got it figured out. It was a pretty simple solution so if anybody has the "Dubbing_Counterattack" error coming up, feel free to message me and I can at least tell you what I did.

Yeah, I've done all of that. My game is updated. Verified cache. Ran all three games. Changed the launch options. Moved add ons to Arma 2 OA folder. Manually installed Lingor Island into my Arma 2 OA folder. Still getting the CA_Dubbing_Counterattack whatever error on start up. Kind of running out of options aren't we?

Also, another thing, and I don't know if this is normal or if this is just something that messed up during the download or whatever, you guys are talking about Combine Operations, but the only Arma 2 games that are on my Steam are Arma 2 and Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead. Everytime I double click Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, it let's me choose "Launch Arma 2: Combined Operations" but whenever I do, it looks like command prompt comes up, types a bunch of stuff, then goes away. The game never launches. Is that something I need to fix as well?

This is the video I watched where the guy talks about the Beeayta fersion cero three four. I followed all the steps and I still can't play mooultiplayar. I also find it pretty fun to type like that guy talks. No offense to the dude, accents are pretty rad.

I've tried making a shortcut of the Arma II OA Beta and adding it to Steam, then changing the target to whatever I've been seeing people on YouTube and DayZ forums and whatever other Lingor help site thing, whatever you call them. I've tried installing it through DayZ Commander and manually, neither of them worked, I kind of don't know what else to do. Everything is up to date.

I'm getting "Addon 'dayz_lingor_anim' requires addon ' CA_Dubbing_Counterattack'" when I launch Operation Arrowhead from steam then "No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Citizen1.scope.' once the game comes up. Then when I try to join a server it says I can't play it because it's dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted. 'CARocks2'. Any ideas?

I was in a server that didn't have that many people in it, maybe 2 or 3 other players, just looking around for whatever I could find. I didn't have any friends playing with me so I figured I would just run around in a low populated server. At the time I had a Bizon and an M107, no ghillie suit or night vision though. Since there weren't a lot of people in the server, and I wasn't close to the coast or another city, I figured I wouldn't run into anyone else, so I ran through open fields and fired shots when I needed to (believe it or not, I am a stealthy player, just not this day...Or the time my friend and I were throwing chem lights all over a building at night until someone shot a grenade at us... Then we hauled ass). My guy started getting hungry, so I came across a boar in a field, pretty close to a woodline, so I shot it. As soon as I started gutting him, I heard shots from either a Bizon or a silenced MP5 right behind me. They were so close, it sounded like I was shooting them myself. Seconds later I was dead. All I could think was, "Seriously? In a server with just a few other people and I die like that in the middle of nowhere? Not close to anything?" I haven't started setting up tents and stashing back up supplies and weapons in case I die, (which I know I should) so it was time to start over. Now, I wouldn't play reckless like that in a populated server, I just figured it wouldn't hurt seeing as to how there were only 2 or 3 other players. So instead of getting all pissed off like I imagine a lot of people would (calm down dudes, it's just a game and dying is part of it), I just kept playing in that server. I spawned in Elektro and immediately headed to the market. I just charged it because if I died it's not like I had anything to lose anyway. I got a map, a can of Coke, some beans, an Alice pack, and an M1911 so I could make it where ever I wanted to go. On my way, I came across a helicopter crash and got some night vision. I was pretty psyched. I made my way Northwest up towards Pustoshka and checked all the shops to get my tools back, which I almost did. When I got to Vybor, I checked all the houses for a hunting knife, but never found it. I ended up finding something better, a ghillie suit laying on the ground. I was pretty psyched when I got the night vision, but even more stoked when I got the ghillie suit, just because it was only my second time finding one. I put it on and headed out. I figured I would head to Stary and raid the tents to find some kind of weapon so I'm not completely defenseless with just my pistol, but before I got there, I came across yet another helicopter crash. I crawled my way there so I wouldn't piss off any zombies. When I finally got there and looked around, going to Stary seemed pretty pointless. I ended up getting my Bizon back and a Saw to go along with it. This all happened in about 2 hours. I'm going to end up giving the Saw to one of my friends that was talking about wanting one the night before all of this happened and find either a DMR or an M107 to take it's place. This game is mad fun, just don't get butt hurt.

Age (Be Honest): 22 In Game Name: POSIPJ Country/Timezone: USA/Eastern Are You Active?: Yes. Experience In Dayz: 2 weeks now. I've been my group's sniper when we raid towns (with Epic Jerni, Nappy, and Slice). I watch to see if any players move in. I'll report the direction, distance, and description, and I'll take shots if necessary (most of the time). Have You Worked In A Team Before?: I played sports in high school and was a member of clans on a game called Delta Force.

So, I know this is a pretty popular subject right now, but I'm trying to get this crap figured out. After the update today (July 25, 2012) I get kicked as soon as I join a server. I don't know if BattlEye needs to be updated or what. I opened steam as administrator and let it update Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead. I verified game cache, but it says, "1 files failed to validate and will be reacquired." for both Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead. Would that be the problem? If so how do I fix it?

Yeah, I was able to join a 95248, finally. It still says it needs to reacquire those files, but if it's working then it's working. I don't know how to figure out what the latest patch is though (I know, probably easy to figure out). I see 95251 and 95310... It seems like those should be newer right? I swear I'm not an idiot.

Yeah, hacking has been crazy lately. Lost a .50 cal because I got teleported and killed. It's whatever though.

Two friends and I were in Stary Sobor about to kill a guy that went into the market, and I was up on top of the hill with my .50 cal waiting for him to stick his head out, then my screen went crazy and I ended up on the coast right next to a guy in a ghillie suit crouched down. He killed me. Then my friends' screens started going crazy like mine did, but they got off before they were killed. But I'm out a .50 cal now.

It was around 9 PM Eastern time. My name was tRemoR bRotheR.

And seeing as to how I was my little group's over watch, that's very unfortunate. So now I'm going to have to find another AS50, and from what I know, they only spawn at helicopter crash sites, so it's going to be a while.
