Hilseey 3 Posted January 20, 2013 Hi, I'm a new (well want to be) player, but as of yet I can't play DayZ because of the problems I'm having. I downloaded Arma 2 from the Arma website, so I have the retail version of that, but I also have the STEAM version of Operation arrowhead which I bought. Now, I can find a lot of tutorials for steam installation, but almost none for a mixed installation. So, if anyone could give me a step by step guide of how to install DayZ with the retail copy of Arma 2 and steam copy of OA, or redirect me to a topic which does, (sorry if there is already a topic for this) then I would really appreciate it. Thanks, and I hope to see you in game if I ever get this working! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
