russellcoles@tiscali.co.uk 0 Posted December 10, 2012 I have been considering playing DayZ for a while. I finally decided to buy Arma 2 combined ops and installed it. I played it for a while to get used to it before trying DayZ. Then I downloaded Dayzcommander and used this to update Arma 2 and install Dayz. When I try and join a server I get a message saying dayz_anim required addon 'CA_Missions_BAF_Templates_SecOps'. If I click OK I then get as far as waiting for host but nothing happens.Anyone know what I have done wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morgan32 403 Posted December 10, 2012 Windows like those can just pop up at times. The waiting for host depends on your connection or the server´s stability. Try another server and see if it goes any faster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
russellcoles@tiscali.co.uk 0 Posted December 10, 2012 Its every time and every server and it doesn't seem to matter how long I wait, 'wait for host' just stays there until I give up. I even tried leaving it when I went to bed, still waiting for host in the morning. My firewall doesn't seem to be the issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try reinstalling it and make sure you follow the steps exactly how they are written. Try to apply a build manually before updating with DayZCommander.

russellcoles@tiscali.co.uk 0 Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) So far I have done the following:-Installed ARMA 2-Played ARMA2 for a bit-Installed operation arrowhead-played OA for a bit-Installed DayzCommander-Updated OA using DayzCommander-Installed DayZ using DayZCommander-Experienced the above problem trying to start DayZ by selecting a server from DayZ commander-Played more OA having seen a post somewhere saying this might help load some of the files needed-Experienced the above problem trying to start DayZ by selecting a server from DayZ commander-Bought, installed and played BAF thinking that would update all the files with BAF in the title.-Experienced the above problem trying to start DayZ by selecting a server from DayZ commander-Reinstalled everything-Experienced the above problem trying to start DayZ by selecting a server from DayZ commander-Tried starting the game from the settings menu of dayZCommander, this time I got the error window when starting the game and then when I try and select a server I get an error message at the waiting for host screen. Basically it lists all the .pbo files in the baf\addons directory saying they are not signed by a key accepted by this server, remove listed files or install additional accepted keys. When I click continue I get kicked off the game. Removing the files makes the game crash when started.OK, I just on a hunch tried doing multiplayer in OA. Although my version was listed as ver 1.62 it was in red as if I didn't have the correct version for all the servers. I am now patching OA manually and will hopefully have a positive result.
