Playing ArmAII OA without DayZ...

[ianramos 47]

So guys, I have bought the ArmAII and its expansion, to play DayZ.

I have here the version 1.7.2.6, 1.7.3 and the map Namalsk.

Yesterday I wanted to play ArmaII OA online, but doesn't matter how I open the game (steam, going to the directory, w/e), it always showes the tag "DayZ 1.7.2.6" on the right corner. I have tried everything, like restoring the games files at the steam, click "unable" at the DayZ at the Expansios area...

Then I decided to delete dayz from there (I moved it to another directory), the Namalsk and both DayZ versions, restored the game by the steam, and opened the game by the steam.

Result: SAME THING.

I don't know what to do anymore.

EDIT:

I found some dayz files at a random folder inside the ARMAII OA directory, I was like: WTF?

I deleted them and it worked.

Enable/Disable mods from with IN GAME under EXPANSIONS. Could've just unchecked what mods you didnt want atthe ime, instead of wasting your bandwidth :blush:

Once I had installed dayz I could never get Operation Arrowhead to work on it's own without first going into steam, right clicking Operation Arrowhead, clicking Properties then clicking Set Launch Options and cutting the contents then pasting it into text file (just so I don't lose it). Then I save it with nothing inthe Set Launch Option box and run OA. I like to play in OAs Armory and drive the limo SUV round chernarus. :thumbsup:

Of course, to play dayz you have to remember to put the cut text back in the Set Launch Options box.

Went into the Armoury while the Namalsk mod was active...Started messing around with the gauss gun :lol:

Good tip though as Launch Options will over-ride expansions.

Launch A2OA; go in to "Expansions"; disable "@DayZ"; restart; play A2OA.
