Can confirm that the ATi fix has fixed the issue completely, THANKYOU SO MUCH ARRRGHH!!!

Requiring assistance in an Aus server, cowardly ambush on the coast, have a gun that I really don't want to lose and haven't had much luck in general today. Need one kind soul to administer a blood transfusion, nothing more. Have AK/MP5 clips as payment if needed. PM me <Don't worry, someone tried to helpfully bludgeon me back to life with an axe>

I know there's probably a million posts about this already, but one more from another voice wont hurt. I know you aren't supposed to get attatched to your weapons but when you manage to kill 3 bandits and take their high level gear only to be teleported and harvested by hacking scum, its not terribly fun. especially when it happens on average about once an hour. What the fuck is the point of playing? while you (Rocket & Co.) focus on how much money you might make out of stand alone/console packages, your soon to be once loyal fanbase is losing interest in this scum infested game. Fixing the hacking should be priority before everything else, because no-one will play where their hard work is undone unfairly and unjustly, you cant win these people back (including myself) down the track if you dont take the right actions now. Seriously, the game is unplayable. I can handle the graphical glitches/artifacts if you can just stop these fucks having an influence on anything. Maybe a change of engine will fix it in the long run, and perhaps that's what you are banking on, but you will lose more and more potential future paying players in the interim. Sort it out.

yes, as surprising as it may seem, I have done each and everyone of those things precisely I get one error message before initialisation, one at the in game menu, and one after ive been kicked out of trying to join a server, all seem to be related to missing files.

Well when i get kicked out of a server im trying to join, it says dependant on downloadable content.chernarus I have combined ops through steam and I am running it through steam Also the other error messages i get before and after initialisation must be related to missing files as well

In regards to Disgraced's post and the link they provided: http://dayzmod.com/f...ter-experience/ I was able to start connecting after downloading and installing that patch, however the server told me i was missing critical downloadable content, now I've re-downloaded all the .rar files there and extracted them to the appropriate folder, what about the .txt files? are they neccesary to get the game working? The game STILL comes up with the error messages from the above post, and I STILL can't join a server because: "it is dependant on downloadable content that has been deleted.chernarus" so i'm missing whole files EVEN THOUGH i downloaded EVERYTHING that the linked guide has said. f**k WHY????????????

I've just read this guide on this forum, and I've executed it word for word, STEAM INSTALLATION 1) Download both ARMA 2 and ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead through Steam. 2) Run the game once before proceeding. 3) Download DayZ Mod files. http://armafiles.info/dayz/ 4) Make a folder named "@DayZ" in your Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead directory. 5) Inside "@DayZ" folder create another folder named "Addons". It should look like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ\Addons 6) Unpack all DayZ Mod files in the "Addons" folder. 7) Go to Steam and right click Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, go to 'Properties', 'Set Launch Options', add "-mod=@dayz -nosplash" without quotes in the target line and click OK. You can find other launch options, like windowed mode here: http://community.bis...rtup_Parameters 8) Run Operation Arrowhead and select "Launch ARMA 2: Combined Operations" to play the game. If everything is installed correctly you should see "@dayz" line under "ArmA 2" on the right side of the menu screen. Use the filter to find DayZ servers So after doing all that, when I run Operation Arrowhead I first get a pop up before it initialises saying: "Addon 'day_anim' requires 'CA_Dubbing_Counterattack'" Then AFTER it has initialised, an ingame popup over the main menu says: "No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Citizen1.scope'" aaaaaand of course multiplayer wont work or join. So much for using forum guides. Please anyone elaborate on wtf has happened? Thanks Disgraced and Stinky I'm trying your methods now.

So after downloading ArmA 2: combined Ops, I mosey on over to the DayZ website here, click download, decide to opt for the torrent which gives me a folder full of files called 'DayZ-1.7.2.3' now there is NO guide on the download page although it references some NON-EXISTENT readme in the torrent. So after googling "DayZ torrent install", I find a youtube video showing me how to do it, now the guy in the video torrented a folder called '@DayZ', as opposed to my 'DayZ-1.7.2.3', so I proceed to stick my folder in the same directory as he did with @DayZ (progfiles(x86)/steam//steamapps/common/arma 2 operation arrowhead), now he shows me how to open the properties of Operation Arrowhead in steam and set the launch options. I notice that he types in (space)-mod=@DayZ, so I decide to rename the folder with my files to @DayZ instead of DayZ-1.7.2.3, then I proceed to change the Launch Options as described in the video. So now upon Launching Operation Arrowhead, I find several servers running DayZ with good pings BUT I can't join because "Bad Version, Server rejected connection", now I look to my bottom right corner and see 2 boxes, one says Version: 1.62 and the other says (in red font) required: 1.62.95310, which, as I can tell from the name of the torrent, is a PREVIOUS version (yes /no?!?!?) Ok so the manual install is too complicated and doesnt work, I'll relent and use their SixUpdater thingie. Now I've opened Six Launcher and find a server with low ping (worst server browser ever, btw, no filters?), now I assume that the Launcher will install and update to the required verison, now i can see that there is an update bar underneath the install button on the left, but it just sits there forever saying "verifying Beta" until finally a dialogue box pops up saying "Unhandled exception during Update, Exhausted all hosts" f**k this, honest to god f**k this, this is the most frustrating mod to play in the world, and I've downloaded and successfuly installed hundreds of mods in my time. ---> Could somebody please point me to where I can find the APPROPRIATE version (1.62.95310????) ---> Could somebody tell me the PRECISE location to put the files and under what PRECISE folder names? ---> Could somebody then tell me the PRECISE procedure for enabling the mod in steam/in game. I would prefer to use ArmA: Op Arrowheads server browser to launch the mod, but i'll use that shitty Six Launcher if I have to and you know how to make it work. Thanks in advance
