Justitia 17 Posted January 16, 2013 What versions do you have? Did you change any files recently? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pr3llox 63 Posted January 16, 2013 best bet.... search on google... you cant find any come back here.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaymacca 52 Posted January 16, 2013 Did you run Arma II and Arma II OA first?, you mentioned a new computer is all is why I suggest this, otherwise in commander click on the settings tab and double check to see if the path is pointing to where Arma II is located on your system, if that doesn't work and everything there is correct then your next step is of course, google.

Mos1ey 6301 Posted January 16, 2013 When it says 'validate your directories' I think it means go to DayZ Commander > Settings > Game Directories and check that you've specified the correct locations.The problem is that it can't find a file. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brockahlys@gmail.com 0 Posted January 16, 2013 seems to be in the right spot, could take a screenie for you if you want? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
disorder 344 Posted January 16, 2013 When you install the game from steam, you need to run it at least once from steam to set up the registry.. Then Dayz Commander finds ARMA automatically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mos1ey 6301 Posted January 16, 2013 The default isC:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2Have you checked that the .exes are actually there?Also, I noticed that you have updates available in DayZ Commander ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaymacca 52 Posted January 16, 2013 yep run it (as admin on steam) still dont work. ive played arma 2 oa but dayz commender dont work, downloading six updater but i dont think so :/ i really want it to work!Yeah not sure here, according to the guy who is responsible for dayz commander, you have to run both arma 2 and arma 2 OA manually before you start commander, basically close commander then run the games, then open it up and try again, but you've probably tried that.

SmokeyFTM 55 Posted January 16, 2013 It always says a file or 2 failed to accuire or something with steam everytime i've validated i wouldn't worry about that bit.Have you started operation arrowhead to the main menu after validating?In DayZ commander have a look in the settings at the boxes for the steam version about replacing files you might have to check that box or not, mine doesnt work when i check it for some reason i just start it with DayZ commander Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ibelieve those would be the beta.exe that Steam will always overwrite.mZLY suggests to VERIFY from WITHIN DayZ COMMANDER :) do-able? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mos1ey 6301 Posted January 16, 2013 No, I meant check that he's actually installed the games into the default Steam directory.Also, you do have to run both ArmA 2 and ArmA 2:OA up to the main menu before you install DayZ. Have you opened them once each from Steam? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magermayn 35 Posted January 16, 2013 Well i can see you need to update something have you even installed dayz? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mos1ey 6301 Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) Click install/update in DayZ Commander. They have loads of mods and maps available. Edited January 16, 2013 by mZLY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brockahlys@gmail.com 0 Posted January 17, 2013 what about through sixupdator? tried running with that cause commander dont seem to wanna work... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mos1ey 6301 Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Play WithSIX works fine, most people prefer Commander as it's more user friendly and caters to DayZ's many modceptions though. Edited January 17, 2013 by mZLY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmashT 10907 Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Manually update your settings in DayZCommander and make sure they are pointing to the directories the game is installed. I don't use Six so not sure exactly how additional mods work but yes they are also available through it. Edited January 17, 2013 by smasht_AU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
