DayzMod on Steam. Anyone tested it yet?

[chrithu 59]

Hey there.

I am currently using SixUpdater to manage Dayz and some other Mods for Arma2. Today upon starting Steam I saw that Dayz can now be downloaded directly through Steam. As I love keeping things inside Steam (my main source for games nowadays), I'd like to ask if anyone has already tried it and if it works well.

I downloaded it, to help increase the steam numbers using it.

However I haven't tried it out yet.

I would assume it works identical to if you launch arma 2 with dayz mod enabled "-mod=@dayz" you would then have to use arma 2 server browser to either search for or entire an ip to connect.

The nice thing about using Six or DayZcommander is that they have great server lists to make finding servers to play on easy. Using just the arma 2 server listing will hinder your ability to find servers a little bit but not unplayable.

I always use it.

Because I already know which server I want to join, I don't need dayz commander to search for servers.

It works pretty well, didn't find any problems yet.

I use it fine, but DayzCommander doesn't seem to like it. It says my DayZ data is corrupt, even though it isn't.
