FIXED: I did the following: SIX-UPDATER INSTALLATION 1) Download and install Six-Updater from http://www.six-updater.net/ 2) Go to options and make sure the target path for Operation Arrowhead main folder and mod folder is correct. 3) It should say at the bottom that you have A2 Operation Arrowhead (Combined Operations) installed. 4) Create a 'New Preset' from the 'Preset' tab in the top menu. You can name it 'DayZ' 5) Click the 'Mods' tab in the main window. In the searchbox type in '@DayZ'. 6) Right click the DayZ mod in the browser window and 'add to preset'. 7) Click on 'Home' tab and 'Install or Update mods'. It will automacitally download the latest version of the mod for you. 8) To run the game click on 'Launch the game' through Six-Updater. #8 above I could not find the "Launch the game" in the Six - Updater. I just used the regular .exe Arma II CO icon on my desktop to run the game. Once the game started I went to Expansions and enabled DayZ, exited the game, restarted and everything works fine!
I have ARMA II DVD, OA DVD, and BAF download (not steam) all retail along with @Dayz installed. I do not have a ARMA II OA folder located in my install - I do not know if this makes a difference. I can tell you that when I do run ArmaII/OA "@DayZ" is displayed on the load up screen to the right. When I try to log into a server I get the "cannot play/edit..." error. I cannot figure out why I'm getting this error.
