Please help me to install Dayz! Ive tried everything!

[tooheysnew11 (DayZ) 0]

Hi all

I have recently heard of Dayz and was willing to try it out. Upon reading up on instructions on how to install ive run into some troubles.

Ive used Six installer and Dayz commander but still no luck! I update my Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA games to the latest patch and download battleye and The beta patch.

But when running Dayz Commander everything installs great (Dayz files and Arma2 up to date) But whenever i go into the game it says "Files not signed by a key accepted by this server" And a whole list of .PBO files show up. It says to delete them and i tried but it just screws the whole game up. Other times it says that i cant join in games because my Cheranus files have been deleted. Have i installed it all wrong? Can someone give me a detailed way to install this mod? I even tried to install Invasion 1944 and that wouldnt let me play! Now I am new to PC gaming. So maybe ive just done everything wrong (Just built my first Gaming PC about a week ago) So any help would be much appreciated. Will Manually installing be better? Its just that the installers dont seem to be working. I have Bought my Arma2 and Arma 2 OA at different times and both from the local game shop, Do i need to buy Combined operations? or will both seperate games work? Any and all details will help!

Cheers

Thanks very much for your time on helping me out :)

Hullo there

Why not "talk" us through what you are doing at each step. That way "we" can point out when/ where you've gone wrong.

Keep it clear and concise.

Ok

I install both my Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA onto my E: Drive. Put in Both CD Keys and then start them up and play around in armory for a few minutes.

I Download and install Arma2 patch 1.60, then after i download patch 1.62 and install that. I Then download the latest beta patch, and battleye, and then run DayZ Commander.

Once in DayZ Commander, I click on update and install the latest DayZ and Arma 2 files, When thats done i find a server then double click. It then loads the DayZ screen

and i end up on the main screen of Arma2 OA. I click on multiplayer and try find a server, thats when all the problems start to happen.

Mind you ive tried just installing the Arma2 and Arma2 OA, then running DayZ Commander and Installing the latest patches of that and it still happens.

I even tried six updater, and that one seems to confuse the hell out of me so id rather just leave that until i get the hang of it.

Thanks.

Don't know if this will help you.

Combined Operations basically means launching ArmA2/ArmA2:OA together.

You get the error Chernarus missing, when you try to launch DayZ without ArmA 2.

-When both games are installed, run ArmA 2, then shut it down.

-Then run ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead and check the expansions menu and make sure the ArmA 2 box is checked. If it hasn't check the box and when you press ok, the game should restart with both Arma2 and OA active(also known as Combined Operations).

-Update with DayzCommander.

-Shut down DayzCommander.

-Launch Operation Arrowhead and check if DayZ is active in the expansions menu.

Anyways I have to leave the house for a an hour or so.

Good luck.

All i have in my expansions is

Arma 2: British Armed Forces Lite (checked)

Arma 2: Private Millitary Company Lite (checked)

Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead (checked)

Thats after running Arma 2 and closing.

Now its saying the same thing, Chernarus has been deleted.

And whenever i check the DayZ box in expansions it restarts and unchecks it! This is driving me crazy!

When i load into a server it comes up with

Files E:\Games\Bohemia Interactive\addons\a10.pbo'

Files E:\Games\Bohemia Interactive\addons\air.pbo'

Files E:\Games\Bohemia Interactive\addons\air2.pbo'

Files E:\Games\Bohemia Interactive\addons\air3.pbo'

Files E:\Games\Bohemia Interactive\addons\animals.pbo'

Files E:\Games\Bohemia Interactive\addons\animals2.pbo'

are not signed by a key accepted by this server, remove listed files or install additional accepted keys"

And thats what its been doing when i join different servers

(plus saying Chernarus has been deleted)

And when i remove those files, more files show up in that list, so i delete them and it screws up my game

so i have to restore them from the recycle bin.

And when i double click on servers through DayZ Commander it loads then says im missing some files,

then just goes straight to the Arma2 OA Main menu:(

Someone please help!
