Sutinen 635 Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) The kind of version which is on Steam, but does not require you to log in so you can play it. Kinda like ArmA2/DayZ at the moment. Edited December 12, 2012 by Sutinen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mzltv 2281 Posted December 12, 2012 Steam, all day, every day. It's just uber convenient, and I like the fact that if anything goes wrong, you can usually just validate the integrity of files, and it'll replace specific files to sort your problem out.Saying that, I do launch via DayZ Commander now but that's only because of the massive improvement on the server browser, and how convenient it makes updating DayZ files/beta's... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrunkPunk 159 Posted December 12, 2012 Steam version. You don't need steam to run it, but if you do it comes in with a built in auto run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
