Beta patch 93825 not affecting Combined Operations

[Gosha 0]

Hey.

Been trying for hours to get my arma to work, spawning continuesly in debug wilderness, sorta makes me f**king angry, anyhow when i run beta patch with -mod=@DayZ it only loads up OA and therefor missing Chernarus.map and without the addon command it runs CO but not DayZ i installed the damn beta file 1.60.93825 and it just wont load as it when i run CO on Steam and still spawning in Debug forrest no matter which server, and when i try to join 93825 server i get bad version blabla, anyone who has similar problem and managed to fix it? im really itching for some cherno looting atm.

Regards

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

you need to make sure you launch it from

"Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch" short cut found in your operation arrowhead folder (right click it and do the target wording at the end -mod@dayz) (EG: Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@DayZ -nosplash)

Once that was done

because I used steam I wasn't able to play dayZ unless I launched it in combine operations from steam.

I found the following on the steam forum and it seemed to work for me.

Because the patch requires the 'target' to be the expansion folder, not the base folder, I think you have to make a custom shortcut:

- 'Games' menu -> Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library

- Browse to the arma2oa.exe

Then:

From your Steam Library;

- Right click your "non-steam" arma2oa shortcut, select 'Properties'

- Change the 'Target' to:

...\ARMA II Operation Arrowhead - PC\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -nosplash -world=empty -mod=@dayz

where "..." is your steam games folder

Make sure "Start In" is:

"...\ARMA II Operation Arrowhead - PC\"

where "..." is your steam games folder

(Folder names might not match exactly: I got mine from GMG)

Hope it helps mate,

Fenn
