I had the same problems you descibed in the first post. I bought the game over steam just to play Dayz :) 1 hour later i finally managed to join. Here's what i did: I installed arma 2 & OA over steam. extracted dayz in the right directory. Started the game... not able to join. I added -mod=@dayz -nosplash in steam. Right click on the game-> properties -> set launch options I deleted the @Dayz directory from the OA Folder. Then I started Arma 2, selected my profile and joined a game. Battle eye was updated automatically while joining.I did the same in OA. Now i was sure the game worked at all ;) I copied the @Dayz folder back into the OA folder. I started OA and got the errors again :( Then one thing occured to me. OA told me some files were missing and you need Arma 2 as well to play Dayz. Perhaps those files needed where Arma 2 files. Back in steam I rightclicked on Operation Arrowhead and selected "Launch Arma 2: Combined Operations" as this should have all files combined (obviously). Bingo! I joined a Server at night, saw a flare in a distance, walked over and got instantly killed by a bandit. But i was happy after all :) Hope this helps, greets
