Reklin 56 Posted May 7, 2012 So my friend bought OA with the understanding he could use Arma2Free.I've seen dozens of people claiming to have it working, but we haven't managed to get it working, he gets to the loading screen on a server then gets kicked back to server list.We've been using the Arma2Launcher. Anyone that's been successful, could you give some simple instructions? I saw the shortcut "Expansions;" etc way but wasn't sure if that was the way to get Arma2Free to work with Dayz.

fighter139 191 Posted May 7, 2012 Personally, I don't support this method.Support BIS! Buy both games! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cm. (DayZ) 28 Posted May 7, 2012 Why you would want to play arma 2 with those crappy textures is beyond me...Buy the full game, don't be so stingey... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UberSprode 0 Posted May 8, 2012 This is how I got it to work for me.Install the game and mod normally through Stream.Then create a shortcut to the Arma2OA.exe and make the path look like this."J:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\ArmA2OA.exe" "-mod=J:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 free;Expansion;ca" -mod=@dayz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reklin 56 Posted May 8, 2012 Why you would want to play arma 2 with those crappy textures is beyond me...Buy the full game' date=' don't be so stingey...[/quote']Not wanting to pay £30 for a game that came out years ago isn't being stingey, I think £15 is enough.. And Arma2Free textures really aren't that bad at all compared to paid, personally on very high I barely notice a difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LanceUppercut 7 Posted May 9, 2012 i got it to work with arma 2 demo and OA, create the dayz folder in the OA and run sixupdater to download anything else, my game looks identical to all the youtube video's ive seen btw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reklin 56 Posted May 9, 2012 BIS is a good developer. Stop being cheapskates and buy CO.I already have CO, as do two of my other friends I'm playing with, but one friend only had OA as it's STAND-ALONE.Why would he buy Arma2 for the sake of it when he can use ArmaFree?Tescos is a good supermarket, yet I don't buy more food than I need for the sake of it do I, idiot.
