Hi,

After installing the BAF and PMC DLCs from Bohemia, DayZ does not work. Is not DayZ compatible with BAF and PMC? Is there a way around this other than uninstalling BAF and PMC?

Sorry, searched for topic in forum but could not find a thread.

Thanks for responses in advance.

DayZ requires using them. If you originally purchased Arma 2: CO, then you should notice it came with the "lite" versions of BAF and PMC.

Make sure to run each of the DLCs once they're installed and then try launching DayZ again. If that doesn't work, try re-installing DayZ.

That's about all I can tell you. If what is above doesn't help, can you give me more information on what the problem is other than it "not working"?

BAF and PMC both give better quality on items in DayZ, they are compatible and shouldn't be a problem.

1. Try verifying your games.

2. If that doesn't work, reinstall everything.

Edit: ninja'd by Intensity on Dayz

There are update patches for BAF and PMC? Didn't run those.

Here is what I did: I simply installed BAF and PMC on top of Arma II CO with DayZ already installed too (1.7.6.1). I bought BAF and PMC back around March of last year. I didn't run any patches for BAF or PMC. BAF ran smoothly with Arma II CO (version 1.62). I then reinstalled the most recent Beta patch of Arma II and reinstalled DayZ from DayZ Commander (and reinstalled a couple of the map packages too).

When I ran DayZ, it said I did not have a copy of a whole bunch of CA_pmc and CA_baf PBO files that the server recognized. Does this have to do with not running whatever patch for BAF and PMC? The 'lite' versions with CO work fine...

Bought everything from BIS (Sprocket). Hate Steam because it's a real pain to use. Will run the patches and report the results. Thanks.
