There isn't really a difference at all when installing mods between steam and non-steam. Your mod files when extracted should be placed in C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\@dayz\Addons. You need to create the @dayz Folder in the main directory then inside create another folder named "Addons" If you are using a Launcher it should be pretty straight forward. Without a launcher, you need to create a shortcut of arma2oa.exe and change the target inside of the properties to "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2oa.exe" -mod=@dayz Simple: 1. Locate: C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\ 2. Create folder: "@dayz" with a sub-folder "Addons" 3. Extract all DayZ files into "Addons" 4. Create a shortcut of arma2oa.exe right click and select properties then add the following line to to target: -mod=@dayz With that it should be working fine! -Elektroshock
