(I HAVE DOWNLOAD THE ARMA 2 AND ARMA 2 OA DIDN'T BUY THEM)

Hey guys do I need to buy Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA? Or can I just download them? I did everything like this:

RETAIL INSTALLATION

1) Download both ARMA 2 and ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead

2) Make sure you install the latest patch for the retail version from http://www.arma2.com/supply/game-updates

3) 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) Right click on ArmA2:OA.exe - create shortcut.

8) Right click on the new shortcut - properties.

9) Add "-mod=@dayz" without the quotes to the target line. You can find other launch options, like windowed mode here: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma2...Parameters

10) Run the shortcut.

But when I open the game there is now DayZ under the ARMA logo and I get this error. What am I doing wrong?

First and foremost, buy the game.

Once you've done so. I will guide you to what you did wrong.

yeah, if it's a non-legit copy then even if you try and fix any launch errors it's almost certain multi-player won't work anyway

as Revixy said... buy it
